Set in the Borrowdale Valley, this cosy cottage has stunning views and a private patio with views over the fells and village, and is just a short walk to the village tearoom.

This location offers the perfect base for keen walkers, cyclists, and lovers of the great outdoors. The market town of Keswick is just 6 miles away, well known as the adventure capital of the Lakes, and there is a great choice of outdoor instructors available to help you find your wild side just a short drive or bus ride away. Surrounded by fells the cottage is also just 3 miles from Derwentwater where you can hire kayaks, paddleboards, sailing, and rowing boats. The local area offers fishing, rock climbing, and water sports; it is a paradise for the outdoor enthusiast. Alternatively, take in the views from one of the stately Derwentwater launches – there are seven landing stages. Keswick has a lovely bustling atmosphere; enjoy the shops, take in a film, visit a museum or catch a play or concert at the wonderful Theatre By The Lake.

Enter the property into the hallway; there is a pretty twin bedroom to your left, and across the hallway is the family bathroom offering a walk-in shower and WC. As you head down the hall, you will find the bright and spacious country-style open-plan kitchen and dining room, with patio doors opening onto the private patio. The dining area offers seating for the whole family; it is a great sociable space to prepare dinner and make plans for your stay in the Lakes. The kitchen has everything you may need: a Smart TV, a slimline dishwasher, a washing machine, a full-size fridge/freezer, and an electric range-style cooker set in an alcove with an attractive beam. Leaving the kitchen and heading back into the hallway, there is a spacious double bedroom with lots of storage and built-in wardrobes. The lounge is next door and offers a great space to kick back, relax and enjoy a board game or movie together. There is a large corner sofa, a Smart TV, and a cosy wood burner.

Head outside from the kitchen/dining area and you will find a private spacious patio with views over the fells. There is seating to enjoy al fresco dining on a nice evening or a coffee in the morning. There is private parking for up to two cars in the small car park just 20 metres from the property.

Castle Crag is a spacious, well equipped property in Rosthwaite, directly opposite the Royal Oak. The kitchen is kitted out with plenty of equipment and a good size fridge/freezer. Walks are possible from the doorstep with some detailed in the handy guide (would recommend the Castle Crag walk itself). Private parking available on site and buses appRead moreroximately 50 yards walk into Keswick. Log burner made it extra cosy in a very damp week. Hide
