From the cottage the view of Castle Crag and the surrounding fells is breath-taking, the crags, rivers and ancient woodlands, all blending into an area of picturesque beauty and tranquillity.
Step into your home-from-home, to be impressed by the well-equipped kitchen, hosting all the essentials required to rustle up delicious feasts, ready to be enjoyed in the dining room or alfresco. Relax each evening in the comfortable sitting room, in front of the open fire.

In the morning be sure to explore the local area. For keen walkers the peaks of Great Gable, Scafell Pike, Pillar, Bowfell and many other high mountains are very accessible. Numerous valley and riverside walks can be undertaken from the cottage, without using a car. The lower hill walk to the picturesque hamlet of Watendlath, with its pretty tarn and café selling home made produce, is especially recommended.
Take the 20 minute drive over Honister Pass to Buttermere and you will discover another valley to explore. You can enjoy the scenic walk right round the beautiful lake, with welcome refreshments available in the cafes and restaurants in Buttermere Village. Take the short walk down to peaceful Crummock Water for further magnificent views. For the adventurous a visit to the Honister Slate Mine is a must. Descend into the deep caverns of this working mine or climb the high cable bridges for an exhilarating experience.
Enjoy a ride on the Keswick Launch, for a round trip on Derwentwater, where you can stop off to walk along the lakeside or make the climb up to Catbells to enjoy views of the Lake. Visit Whinlatter Forest Park, to sample a wide range of outdoor activities, from mountain bike trails to ‘Go-Ape’ tree top adventures. In the summer the forest hosts nesting ospreys; you may be lucky enough to see them in their natural habitat.
