About this cottage rental

The Lake District is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, and Braithwaite is no exception. Wake up to the sight of rolling hills and the majestic Skiddaw mountain in the distance. The village is surrounded by a patchwork of fields, woodlands, and, of course, the serene Bassenthwaite Lake, which is just a short drive away.

Braithwaite is a gateway to a plethora of outdoor activities. Whether you're an avid hiker or a leisurely stroller, the area boasts a range of trails suitable for all levels of fitness. Don't miss the opportunity to conquer Skiddaw, one of England's highest peaks, or explore the enchanting Whinlatter Forest Park, home to various cycling trails and a Go Ape adventure course.

The market town of Keswick is a 5minute drive or a scenic walk away with shops, bars, restaurants, cafes, parks with tennis and crazy golf, attractions, cinema and the Theatre by the Lake. Leisurely cruises can be enjoyed on Derwentwater or hire a rowing boat and explore on your own.

Hill Cottage nestles on the edge of the village, yet within 100 yards of the village shop, and benefits from its own enclosed garden with views to the fells. Relax on an evening with a glass of wine, whilst watching the sun set over the fells and watch the local wildlife and birds that can regularly be seen visiting the garden. The cottage is perfectly based for walks from the door to the Newlands Valley or over Catbells, or take the car over Newlands Pass and explore the quieter western lakes including Crummock Water and Buttermere. The cottage is ideal for a couple or a family who are looking for a peaceful base from which to enjoy an action-packed holiday within the heart of the Lake District.

The cottage has gas central heating and comprises: Entrance porch, ideal for storing boots and coats. Dining/lounge with gas fire, TV and DVD player, 2 and 3 seater sofa with armchairs in the window, the dining table is in front of the French doors and has a view over the garden. Breakfast room/kitchen with electric oven and separate induction hob, microwave/grill, fridge/freezer, washing machine, dishwasher and dining table. Conservatory with tumble dryer and electric drying rack. Cloakroom with hand basin and WC.

First floor: Double bedroom with king size bed, 2nd double bedroom and twin bedroom. Bathroom with shower over bath, hand basin and WC.

A couple of things- the fridge isn't working very well- I appreciate it was very hot last week but it was difficult to get the fridge to the correct temperature. The refuse and recycling bins were not collected whilst we were there and had not been collected the previous week either as they were very full

We've stayed at Hill cottage in Braithwaite a number of times. Beautiful house and garden, spacious and well equipped and very clean. Excellent location for walks. When we first started staying a welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee and cake or biscuits were provided. This hasn't been the case in the last few years and we do miss that as it was always welcome to have a cup of tea on arrival. Generally a very well equipped kitchen. The knives in the kitchen could do with sharpening and some previous kitchen equipment such as a medium lidded casserole and medium frying pan were no longer there. More big sized/pint sized glasses too please. Obviously breakages over the years. Plenty of mugs, plates and bowls though which is excellent

We have stayed in Hill Cottage three times as we find it such a relaxing place for a holiday. The house is very comfortable, the kitchen has high quality appliances and everything is spotlessly clean. The location of the cottage is superb, with wonderful views from the property and situated in a charming village with a great shop. The bus stop to Keswick is a few minutes walk away which opens up lots of car free travel around the area. Highly recommended.
