Part of a delightful and imaginative barn conversion, this bright, cosy and spacious apartment is perfect for families, walkers and cyclists discovering this spectacular part of the Lake District.

The stunning vistas of the Newlands Valley offer miles of memorable walks and bike rides, with a lovely choice of pubs in quaint villages like Braithwaite (3 miles) along the way to provide a well-earned rest.

Great cottage. Very clean but with a few aging issues. Stunning views, an unbelievable location. Very quiet when you are the only guests but noticeably noisy when there are people staying above , which is ok if they go to bed at reasonable hours ( which they did).

The cottage felt damp and had black mould in the shower room. There were handles missing from furniture and nearly all the crockery was chipped. There were steps into the property, double bedroom and a step up into the shower which had a sliding door that only opened halfway with no handrails.

Great location with outstanding views and walks from the doorstep. Well equipped, modern kitchen and bathrooms that were adequate for a weeks stay. Small issue with the heating that the owner had rectified swiftly. Some noise from the apartment above (footsteps etc), but nothing too bad and certainly didn't cause any issues.

Lovely place and views. However, I would not be staying here again.. It was a bit noisy. Some buttons and finishing need to be replaced. We heard every step - and other things we did not want to hear, ahum - from our upstairs neighbors.

Let's start off with the positives, the location here is absolutely stunning, the view of Cat Bells to wake up to is lovely, and it's very tucked away. However, the property left a lot to be desired. There's very serious damp in one the bedrooms. The cookware was all filthy. Curtains, cupboards and walls all had damage, the curtains weren't wide enRead moreough to block light in the bedroom. There's zero soundproofing, so we were awake at 6am when those above woke, and the exterior had a lot of mess. Hide

Stunning views with Catbells on your doorstep. Clean, modern, ten minute car journey into Keswick. The cottage is on the ground floor so the noise from people upstairs might bother some people. Dog friendly, but there is a farm right next door and it isnt secure, so wandering sheep mean they must always be on the lead.

This cottage has so much going for it but it is let down by a poor standard of equipment, 3 dinner plates in a cottage for 4 people was the tip of the iceberg for us, its tired and needs some TLC which wouldnt take the owner much effort, it also didnt come across as having been cleaned after the last occupancy which is disappointing
