Summary: A clean, spacious and beautiful home with views of Skiddaw mountain. A well thought out cottage equipped with everything that is needed. Comfortable beds and big enough for sIx. The bathroom is beautiful and really well thought out. I like the fact that there is a seperate WC and shower room downstairs. The owner has taken all steps for a pleasant stay, (well stocked) with quality leading brand appliances. The new outside dining table is a big bonus, to be able to enjoy lunch overlooking the beautuful scenery in a lovely big garden. (I was hoping to see some wildlife which didn;t happen unfortunately, despite leaving feed). It a lovely peaceful cottage, on the quieter side of Lake District if thats what you're after then this is perfect. Locally there are some local hills such as Binsey, Longlands and the beautiful mountain Skiddaw to explore, as well as overwater tarn. Bassenthewaite lake, and Whinlatterer forest are only short drives away. Keswick is a 20 minute drive as well as Cockermouth for any shopping needs. I could not fault this place except on the last day the hot water supply upstairs ran out! not sure if it was the stormy rain, which caused it . Despite this small hiccup, this is an excellent cottage to stay in the Lakes for comfort, beauty, and solitude. Thank you for a comfortable stay.
