Property code: 83288

A well-presented converted barn in a fabulous location with good access to explore the Northern Fells and Lakes: Grasmoor, Fleetwith Pike, Haystacks, Buttermere, Crummock Water, Loweswater and Whinlatter Forest are all close by. Enjoy a day out at GO Ape or hire bikes and explore the forest trails. The shore path at Bassenthwaite runs the length of the west shore and there is an open-air theatre at Mirehouse which is worth a visit. The Mountain Festival, which is usually held in May or June, offers three days of world-class sports, outdoor activities, talks and films with live music which take place in and around Keswick, which is just 7 miles away. If you are looking for something a little different, why not walk an alpaca or abseil 120ft into a disused quarry.

The property is based entirely on the ground floor and is attached to a larger property on the complex, this property is attached to the side and runs along the top of the ground floor accommodation. As you enter the property you will find yourself in the lounge which features beams and original stone walls, showing off its character and charm. The lounge has a TV and DVD player, perfect for settling down and watching all your favourite films. You will also find a formal dining area to catch up over breakfast and plan for the day ahead. The well-equipped kitchen is just off the lounge and has everything you need to whip up a delicious, hearty meal with an electric oven and gas hob, fridge, freezer and microwave. From the lounge head through into the hallway and you will find two bedrooms: a king-size and pretty twin bedroom. There’s a large family bathroom which features a shower over the bath and WC.

Outside, there is a shared patio area to the front of the barn with picnic benches where you can sit and enjoy a glass of wine on a sunny evening or coffee when you wake up. There is private parking to the front of the property for up to 2 cars.

This is a lovely cottage close to Bassenthwaite lake. It is very clean and the bed is very comfortable. Unfortunately our stay was marred by the residents upstairs as you can hear them walking about from the lounge and bedroom. For this reaon we wouldnt book this cottage again, but would consider one of the others on site.
