Thirlmere Cottage, Keswick, Cumbria - Sleeps 4

A Lakeland cottage in an unbeatable location. Close to the southern shoreline of Thirlmere, this property sleeps 4 in 2 bedrooms.

This traditional and welcoming cottage enjoys one of the most awe inspiring positions imaginable. At the foot of a mountain and so very close to the southern shores of Thirlmere, this is paradise for those looking to for a quiet retreat in the Lake District. Walkers can enjoy Silver How, Helm Crag, Helvellyn and the Central and Eastern Fells from the door, while cyclists can try out a section of the Sustran National Cycle Route. After an energetic and busy day, guests will love to gather in the cosy sitting room.

Sink into the comfortable sofa by the open fire and slate fireplace or keep an eye out for the local deer, red squirrels and Herdwick sheep. The view is extraordinary. The farmhouse kitchen is a delight. Honister slate worktops and floor, smart fitted units and a large farmhouse table perfect for family meals.

The master bedroom comes with en-suite bathroom, a double bed and views across the garden, while the second room can be arranged with a double bed or two single beds. Although slightly smaller, this room has use of a dressing room and the family bathroom with a shower over the bath, basin and wc.

The cottage’s large furnished patio is a wonderful place in which to enjoy a morning coffee, a BBQ or simply watching out for the red deer.
