Description

Entering the cottage from the porch, the spacious open-plan lounge-kitchen-diner provides a charming sociable living space for unwinding after a day of adventures. There is a leather sofa and armchair to curl up on in front of the cosy log-burning stove while you enjoy your favourite series on the Smart TV or unwind with a good book.

The brand new kitchen overlooks the garden and comes fully-equipped with fridge, induction hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher.

On warmer days, open up the french doors for an al-fresco drink and nibble, or a serene moment observing the comings and goings of the resident birds and wildlife.

At the back of the garage, there is a useful utility space with freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer.

Moving upstairs there are two beautiful bedrooms. The master bedroom is at the front of the cottage with king size bed, double windows and plenty of storage space, and the twin bedroom is to the back of the cottage. Both bedrooms have quality beds and mattresses, made up with crisp white bed linen and towels. The bathroom has a mirror with lighting, WC, hand wash basin and beautiful bath with shower over, ideal for reinvigorating tired muscles,

There is an electric vehicle charging point next to the private, covered car parking space (please note the charging point is shared with Spa Cottage next door)

Guests can enjoy complimentary WiFi

Braithwaite is a cosy, close-knit village just outside of Keswick. With a village shop, three local pubs, and plenty of walks right on your doorstep, you won’t even need to leave the village.

If you’re looking to venture out into the Lake District without a car, Braithwaite is serviced by the X4 and X5 bus services, running all the way from Workington to Penrith, linking Braithwaite to local train stations.

Great cottage in our favourite village
A lovely cottage, newly renovated, with everything needed for us as a couple and our collie dog (I could see it being a bit of a squeeze for 4 adults though). It's perfectly located for great walks from the doorstep and for eating out without driving anywhere. My only very minor niggle was the low level lighting and front hall security lights coming on every time you moved in the living room. It was unfortunate we picked a very wet December week, and after many soakings, decided to come home a day early as there are only so many times you can dry off a wet dog. Would not hesitate to come back again though.

Hi, Tania! Oh, no! What a shame that the weather wasn't better for you. Still, there's plenty to do in Glen Cottage, even with bad weather. There's a comfy leather sofa and armchair to curl up on in the lounge, in front of the cosy log-burning stove, while you enjoy your favourite series on the Smart TV or unwind with a good book. Hopefully, we'll see you again in summer, when you can make the most of everything Glen has to offer. The al-fresco dining facilities are really something special. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Lovely cottage but wouldn't think it is suitable for 4 Adults especially 2nd Bedroom A few tweaks needed Log burner needs protected glove for opening door when alight and maybe tongs when putting logs on fire Not much storage for food

Hi, Maureen! Thank you for staying with Keswick Cottages at Glen Cottage. We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay, and appreciate the feedback. Glen Cottage has ample pantry storage, both undercounter and overhead, as well as an under-counter fridge. There is also a large freezer in the utility area in the back of the garage, alongside a washing machine and dryer. This could be missed, so we recommend making use of the digital guide that we send to all of our guests prior to arrival- it's got all of the information you could possibly need about each property, as well as helpful local tips and tricks! Or, as always, a member of our team is always either a call or an email away. At Glen Cottage, there are two beautiful bedrooms. The master bedroom is at the front of the cottage with king size bed, double windows and plenty of storage space, and the twin bedroom is to the back of the cottage. Both bedrooms have quality beds and mattresses, made up with crisp white bed linen and towels, and we're confident that four adults can enjoy a lovely Lake District break in this cottage. We're always happy to pass on any feedback, and we appreciate the heads-up about adding some extra tools for the fireplace. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Perfect cottage for us, the dog & a week of adventure
Loved our stay at Glen Cottage. Lovely welcome pack for us and the dog. The cottage was very cosy & had everything we needed. Great little garden too & just across the road from the village shop and pubs. Perfect!

Hi Emily, Thank you for your review. Glen Cottage in Braithwaite is very handy for the village shop and the 2 pubs close by serve great food and real ales from the local area. There are plenty of walks right from the doorstep including Barrow and Grisedale Pike or just a walk in to Keswick where there are lots of quirky shops, most of which are dog friendly. We hope you and your pooch had a great time! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

This was a truly lovely place to stay with a helpful owner. The location was great located within walking distance of several hiking trailheads, the village shop, and several restaurants. It was comfortable, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed.
