If you’re seeking an extraordinary property for your holiday, then look no further than Brandlehow.
This private, unique cottage is positioned right on the edge of Derwentwater, with the surrounding woods and Catbells behind, and even has a famous neighbour, the much loved ‘Teddy in the Window'!
Right on the water’s edge, amongst some of the most picturesque scenery, this property is ideal for adventure lovers and relaxation alike! There is plenty of space in the property to store bikes, paddleboards and kayaks.
The journey to this cottage is a wonderful experience in itself, with stunning views en-route, followed by a private access road through the woods to lead you to your holiday home.
On entering the property, you’ll be greeted by the farmhouse-style kitchen with plenty of worktop space, fridge-freezer, double sinks, and stove.
There is a dishwasher, however, you may find yourself volunteering to do the washing up just to admire the amazing views over Derwentwater! The large dining table makes this the perfect space to gather together with family and friends to socialise and dine.
The utility room off the kitchen provides plenty of space for boots and coats, and has a washing machine and dryer. Pass through the spacious hallway, where there is access to the garden, to find yourself in the homely living room with leather sofas, wall-mounted TV and cosy log-burning stove. Upstairs there are four bedrooms: two king bedrooms, one double and one single bedroom, all well-furnished with solid furniture, quality Lake District artwork, and with beds dressed in luxury crisp linen.
The master bedroom has the added bonus of a wall-mounted TV and en-suite shower room. The modern family bathroom is conveniently positioned between the bedrooms and has a bath with shower over. There are two areas upstairs on the landings with seating, one of which also has a desk, where you can escape to take a quiet moment and admire the views, or use as your 'work-from-home-from-home' hub. As lovely as the interior is, you're likely to fall in love with the enclosed garden, complete with fire pit. The views and scenery are breath-taking (even on a dull day) and it would be difficult to find a more idyllic location! Private parking for two cars. Fancy an extra treat for your holiday? Hot tub hire is available (add on extras page). There is a Keswick Launch jetty nearby for easy access to attractions including Nichol End, Lingholm, and central Keswick. . Keswick is a short walk away via the suspension bridge over the River Greta and a stroll down the Howrah’s footpath, where there is an abundance of shops, cafes and restaurants. Please be aware the access road may flood during the rainy season.
If this occurs, the house can be accessed via a footpath at the rear.

Our 3rd visit to Brandlehow and another truly stunning week, a mix of activity and relaxation.\r\nThe house, the location, and the Keswick Cottages team all combine to make a fantastic experience … plus meeting our late changes to suit the wedding vows renewal at Gretna midweek. It made it all so very special for all of us, thank you

Had a fantastic stay at Brandlehow. The location is unbeatable, with stunning views over Derwentwater and direct access to the lake. The cottage was comfortable and well-equipped, with everything we needed for a relaxing family break. We especially loved spending time in the garden taking in the incredible scenery. Highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Lake District.
Stunning spot on the lake shore.

I doubt there can be many other properties that can match this location! Absolutely stunning. Great walks right from the house, Catbells, Newlands round etc.. once the round the lake walkers have disappeared for the day the silence is incredible. The house has really comfortable beds and good communal space. The garden has stunning views and great spot for a post walk beer.
