A gem of a cottage in a lovely location
The cottage is in a very quiet beautiful setting with well manicured lawns very scenic views and ample parking spaces. The cottage is very spacious with a large lounge and kitchen which has an adjoining outdoor dining area. Every utensil required is available Two double bedrooms with very comfortable beds. Two lovely bathrooms with superb showers and quality bath towels. I don’t normally give such high praise but our stay was faultless. My partner and I will definitely be returning here in the future.

Lake View is located in Thornthwaite Powter Howe. It is a lovely location if you enjoy a short wander or a long hike, both are easily achieved. From the property itself there is a short walk alongside sheep filled fields through a small wood which leads down to the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake - less than a five minutes amble.. Conveniently the X5 bus stop is just outside, £2.00 to anywhere along the route. Travel to Keswick, Penrith or Carlisle in one direction or Cockermouth or Workington in the other. We found this a lovely way to travel, see the views along the way and not worry about the car, parking, etc. About 3 miles takes you into Keswick with all its amenities. Shopping is easy and varied, with plenty of places to grab a bite to eat - breakfast, lunch or dinner. Trips can be taken around Derwent Water by open top bus, lake launch or even victorian style rowing boats. Lake View is exactly that. Looking east are stunning views across the southern end of Bassenthwaite Lake, Dodd Wood, Dodd Summit, Skiddaw and a myriad of other fells beyond. To the west is the impressive Broom Fell featuring the locally famous "Bishop" rock, Whythop Wood and the edge of Whinlatter Forest park. All nestled in a lovely rural setting, very quiet where you can listen to the local wildlife and the sound of babbling brooks. The property enjoys access to a well maintained large garden, ideal for a lazy stroll, beware of the pond if young ones are with you. This is a lovely apartment, enjoys large rooms all of which have wonderful views, there is a large terrace to enjoy and eat outdoors in the sunshine {where possible}, beware:- there are a few steps if you are not mobile - a handful to the front door, several more up to the lounge/diner and a couple of others inside the apartment.
