Immaculate bungalow in a quiet part of the Lake District. Dog friendly but low wall at the front so do keep an eye. Walks immediately behind and around the house. Lake distillery, Pheasant Inn, Bassenthwaite Lake station and Keswick all within a 10minute drive. Sun Inn in Bassenthwaite does good pub food - book in advance.

The Horsemoor Lodge is an amazing, spacious cottage in a stunning location. It is especially great for city dwellers who want some peace and quiet time with nature and away from touristy areas. Keswick is close by and so are several walking/hiking trails including the famous Dodd Wood and the Morehouse estate.
