Property code: 86295

Traditional Lakeland terrace property, less than 350 metres from the centre of the market town of Keswick with a great selection of independent shops, pubs and restaurants. A great base to explore the North Lakes.

This location is ideal for families or groups of friends. With much to do on your doorstep, it is very easy to leave the car and head out on foot. Many local fells are accessible, or stroll down to the lake shores of Derwentwater (0.5 miles) to catch the launch from Keswick across the lake and conquer the stunning Catbells, popular with walkers of all ages and abilities. For something more challenging, Skiddaw is a slightly longer, higher walk and, at over 3000 feet, on a clear day you can see far and wide. Keswick has an abundance of shops, including small independent traders, galleries, and of course tea rooms. The Theatre By The Lake has many well-known productions too.

Set over three floors, this property has been completely transformed into a practical, yet lovely, place to stay. As you step through the front door, you will find an entrance hall with the original flooring, leading through to the pleasant and comfortable open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner. The lounge has plenty of seating for all the party; it’s an ideal place to relax and contemplate the day’s activities and decide what to do next. A large, open-plan kitchen with a dining area will seat you all for drinks, games, and good conversation, or a hearty meal at the end of a day exploring. The kitchen is well equipped with a gas range-style cooker, microwave, and dishwasher. Should you get caught in the rain on the way home, there is a handy utility room with a washing machine, drying space, fridge and freezer. Upstairs there are three bedrooms; on the first floor there is a double bedroom and a bunk bedroom, complemented by the large family bathroom with a bath, walk-in shower, and WC. The second floor offers a bedroom with a super-king-size bed, with an adjacent shower room, which would be ideal for those wanting a little more privacy or convenience during their stay. A separate WC can be found just at the top of the stairs on the first landing, worthy of a visit to see the flamingos!

Heading outside from the utility room, you will find a small, enclosed yard that offers the perfect place to sip a morning coffee or enjoy evening drinks, and there is lockable storage should you wish to bring your bikes or any sports equipment. There are shops, bars, and restaurants within 300 metres of the property. Although there is no private parking the street does offer unrestricted parking throughout the year (subject to availability).

Little Slate house is the perfect spot for a holiday in Keswick. Within walking distance to the town centre, but far away enough to not get too over-whelmed with people. It was very easy to get out to the mountains and for days out, and suited our little family really well (two adults and two kids, 3 and 5). We enjoyed our stay so much that weve alRead moreready booked again for next year! Hide

The house is in a great location 5 mins from the centre and you can walk directly from there to a number of walks. Also on a side street so is quiet and peaceful,

The location of the house was ideal for our break in the Lake District. The house was well furnished and excellent for our family group of 4 people. However the 1st floor shower was not usable for more than a few minutes before the tray filled up and from the water marks on the kitchen ceiling this looks to be an ongoing problem. (Due to the risk oRead moref flooding we notified the management company that we wouldn't be using this shower but disappointed not to receive an acknowledgement). Hide

Warm and clean house but a little rough around the edges. I would expect better at this price point. The blinds in the master bedroom don't really keep the sun out which was quite annoying on our summer holiday.

Great location as its very close to town centre (very easy walk of less than 10 minutes) however just far enough out to be nice and quiet. Very easy to park on all days except Saturday and Sunday which can be busy.

This is a real find compared to many of the cottages & houses were have stayed in before. Quality fittings, good taste and really happy with the stay here. We visit twice a year and this is by far the best value and most comfortable we have been in this price bracket. Super place!
