Description

A superb semi-detached bungalow with wonderful views on an attractive site within a pleasant residential area on the edge of Keswick, between Fitz Park and the lower slopes of Latrigg. ‘Blencathra’ is about a 10 minute easy stroll to Keswick’s Market Square. The property has been tastefully decorated to provide fresh and immaculately clean accommodation for up to four guests.

‘Blencathra’ has ample parking, full double glazing and gas central heating. All radiators can be individually thermostatically controlled. The bungalow is situated at the top of a small, quiet cul-de-sac. It has a westerly aspect and the fells from Coledale, across Whinlatter Forest to Barf and Skiddaw make a spectacular panorama to the front. At the rear of the property there is a spacious garden providing a peaceful, leafy green area in which to relax and enjoy views of Skiddaw and Latrigg. Red squirrels are charming, frequent visitors. Patio furniture is provided for the summer months so guests can make the most of the tranquillity.

To the left of the front door is the comfortable lounge with outstanding westerly views. Furnished with a quality leather suite, Smart TV, DVD and living flame gas fire it is warm and cosy at any time of the year.

The superb double glazed conservatory at the rear of the bungalow provides a quiet and peaceful additional space in which to relax.

The kitchen/diner has very well equipped quality wooden units, an electric oven with a gas hob, extractor fan, washer/dryer, CD/radio and a larder fridge. The freezer is located in the garage which is also a useful area for drying wet clothes - and sorting out walking boots!

There are two good sized bedrooms, one with double bed and the other with two single beds, both having quality mattresses and furniture plus beds dressed in luxury linen and towels. Please note that this property is not suitable for children under the age of 12 years old.

Keswick offers plenty of options to keep you occupied during your stay. For walkers the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trial which starts next to the Keswick Leisure centre is a 5 kilometre (10 kilometre there and back) walk along what was once a railway track. It offers beautiful views and is a multi-user trial suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs and mobility scooters. If you fancy something with a little more elevation and spectacular views, Latrigg and Walla Crag can be reached from your doorstep, and you can even tick off some Wainwrights! 10 minutes out of Keswick is Whinlatter forest, which offers a huge selection of walks and outdoor activities.

Keswick itself offers lots of amenities, from shops to cafés, pubs to theatres, you will be spoilt for choice.

Lovely Christmas break
This property was great, location very quiet but not far from the centre of Keswick. The bungalow is very warm and comfortable with a lovely conservatory and garden. The beds are super comfy which is always a bonus. Kitchen has everything you need too, all very clean too. We were also very thankful for the lovely bottle of Prosecco and biscuits which was very nice. A really nice comfy place to stay that we really enjoyed and would definitely stay again. Perhaps a small mirror would be a useful addition in the bathroom as there isn’t one. Also perhaps a couple of washing machine tablets/bin bags and cleaning cloths too. Apart from that it was perfect!

Thank you for your fantastic 5* review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Blencathra and that you had some good nights' rest during your visit. We will make sure to pass on your lovely comments and feedback to the owner, guest insight is always appreciated. We'd love to host you again and hope that you have a wonderful New Year in the meantime. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Nice propety in a quiet location
We stayed here last year and booked to come back, and we hope to return next year, too. The property is less than a leisurely 10 minute walk from the town centre, in a pleasant and very quiet cul-de-sac, and we prefer this to the town centre properties we've stayed in before, which have had a less open aspect.

Thank you for your fantastic review, we are so delighted that you enjoyed your stay. It's great to hear that you have returned to the property for a second time and we hope that you will visit for a third holiday soon! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

It’s a very comfortable bungalow, great quiet location too.
Lovely house, great location, fab conservatory
Very clean and well equipped property. A warm, cosy and well situated base for walking. The conservatory was ideal for daytime lounging with views of the resident rabbits!
