Description

As you enter the cottage you will find yourself in the porch area, where there is space for coats, boots and walking gear. To the front of the cottage is the lounge, which is full of character and comes with two seater leather sofa, chair, TV, and a lovely warming stove perfect for curling up on winter evenings. There is a selection of books and DVD's on the shelves for guests to enjoy. The dining room separates lounge from the kitchen, which is supplied with cooker, hob, microwave and dishwasher. Under the stairs will be found the washing machine, and there is a tumble drier in the outhouse. Upstairs to the front the master bedroom has a king-size bed and catches the morning sun, while the rear bedroom has a comfortable single bed. Both bedrooms will be made up with luxury crisp white bed linen and towels for guest arrival. The bathroom is also upstairs and has a bath to soak tired muscles after a day of exploring the Lakes, there is a hand-held shower head over the bath, WC and basin. The quaint bathroom features a sloping, beamed ceiling. The pretty rear garden catches the afternoon sun and is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine on warm, lazy summer evenings. The historic Village Shop is a must-visit conveniently situated across the road, selling everything from household essentials, to craft beers, take-away snacks/drinks, locally baked bread and cakes, and gifts to take home for family.Braithwaite is a pretty Lakeland village situated at the foot of the Whinlatter Pass, less than 3 miles from Keswick. Tucked below Grisedale Pike, the village is the perfect base for exploring on foot the hills forming the Coledale Horseshoe, or on a bike the mountain trails of the Whinlatter Forest. Bassenthwaite Lake and Derwent are within 5 minutes and the Valleys of Borrowdale, Buttermere and the Whinlatter Forest (Go Ape/Mountain bike trails) are close by. There are three pubs in Braithwaite village, The Coledale, The Ruddings and The Royal Oak, all within walking distance from the cottage. Complimentary Wifi is included for guest convenience. There is unrestricted on-street parking in front of the cottage.

Great cottage in a great location
A lovely cosy cottage (with wood burner). Good WiFi. Great location for local walks. Nice pub round the corner. Great for the odd supplies with the shop over the road. Great for pets. Road parking was fine. Everything was great in fact, except the pillows were too thick for me (I had to find a cushion and put the pillow case on that), the fridge was a bit small and the kitchen a bit small too (only space for 1 cook at a time)!

Thank you for your excellent review of Spa Cottage, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. It sounds like the location was perfect for you with walks from the doorstep and the pub and shop nearby. Thank you for the feedback on the pillows, we will be sure to forward this to the owner. The kitchen is compact, but we hope that this is portrayed accurately on the property photos and hopefully the space wasn't too much of an issue during your holiday! We'd love to have you back again for another stay. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Spa Cottage
Very nice stay. Bath and shower were difficult as I'm very tall and my wife has limited movement. Fridge is also tricky for tall people. Otherwise great

Thank you for your lovely review! We're really glad that you had a nice stay, it's a gorgeous Lakeland cottage. Thank you also for your feedback, guest insight is invaluable so we will pass this on to the owner and keep in mind for future bookings. We look forward to hosting you again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Great cottage, beautiful location, everything you could need.
It is a lovely, modern cottage. The beds are very comfortable. Very clean and full of useful things. The area is beautiful, worth to go to see.
In over 30 years of renting cottages this was one of the nicest we've stayed in. Braithwaite is perfecting for hiking in the Northern Lakes with lots of walks from the cottage and the advantage over many other villages of having a shop, 2 cafes, 2 pubs and 2 separate restaurants only a few minutes walk away. That said, the village is very quiet so the cottage location is not in a busy area despite being opposite the shop. Parking on the streets also wasn't a problem. The cottage was beautifully decorated with a lovely mixture of modern conveniences but characterful features and very well equipped. There were also stunning views from the front and back gardens. Can't recommend highly enough.
