About this property

Nestled in the heart of the vibrant market town of Keswick is this delightful retreat, High Corner. The cottage takes its name from the raised front garden patio, overlooking the hustle and bustle of everyday life in the centre of this historic Lake District town. Step inside this charming home into the hallway where you are welcomed by an array of ‘times gone by’ framed Lakeland photographs lining the staircase. The modern stylish furnishings compliment the character of the property, with wood and slate floors throughout the ground floor. The spacious living/dining room has an abundance of natural light from the large front window and offers a cosy setup with a plush settee and wall-mounted Smart TV so you can catch up on your favourite shows in the evening.

Step into the fitted kitchen, equipped with a range of integrated appliances, ensuring that the chef amongst the group can prepare delicious evening meals and hearty breakfasts to kick start your action-packed days. Head upstairs and discover two bedrooms both decorated to a high standard in a contemporary boutique style – choose from the king-size or twin bedroom to catch your rest, while there is also a family shower room with large walk-in shower cubicle. All the facilities of Keswick are at your fingertips, including a selection of pubs and eateries, as well as a range of shops, a pitch and putt golf course, the Theatre by the Lake and the Pencil Museum to be enjoyed during your stay.

Head to Derwentwater where you can enjoy a cruise on the Lake or hire your own boat and take in the dramatic mountainous views. Whinlatter Forest Park is an easy drive away and offers activities for all age groups which include Go Ape Tree Top Adventure, mountain biking and the Gruffalo Trail, or for a more challenging adventure, hop off to explore the heights of Maiden Moor and Grisedale Pike. High Corner serves as a wonderful base for those looking to stay within the heart of this popular market town, with easy access to some of the finest attractions in the Lake District.

The popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the North of the Lake District and has plenty to offer the visitor at any time of year. The town boasts numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, excellent parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing and great mountain biking opportunities, whilst the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. Nearby, between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw or the famous Catbells, there really is something for everyone. Visit Castlerigg Stone Circle, the Jennings Brewery and Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the Bassenthwaite Lake, or take a fabulous boat trip around Derwentwater. With plenty of attractions for the kids, lovely parks and the nearby Lake District Wildlife Park this is a great Lakeland destination whatever the time of year.

    Be aware that there will be some noise in the evenings in the back bedroom from the pub next door if you have the windows open. We made use of the owner's car parking spot. This was a real bonus and we left the car there for the entire week. We went on a couple of walks from the door and other times used the local bus service to get further afield. On rainy days it was especially useful to be able to nip out and avail ourselves of the great choice of cafes, pubs and shops on offer. The cottage was clean, comfortable and had all the facilities we needed. We would happily stay there again.

    Lounge floor dusty and needed a good clean. Rug past its best, with fringing missing. 1 bulb in kitchen flashing on and off No foil, clingfilm etc provided No welcome pack Window in bathroom need cleaning and painting Wardrobe door in front bedroom off its hinges due to banging against curtain track a bit noisy next to pub Couldn't seem to use the Smart TV element. Remote not working, no instructions. Otherwise the House was in a fabulous spot in centre of Keswick and generally was in good condition but just needed a bit ot TLC.

  • Alan

    Ideal position. Very clean and well equipped. Can have a coffee at the front of the house and watch the world go by . Steep steps at front so not suitable for walking difficulty but it’s a great wee find
