About this property

Nestled a stone's throw away from the charming market town of Keswick rests this striking three-storey holiday home, The Deekabout. Perfectly positioned to discover the delights of The Lake District, The Deekabout offers an idyllic base for both families and friends alike looking to explore. Kick off your boots as you step over the threshold and into a Victorian hallway, decorated with eye-catching encaustic tiles and offering handy storage space to house your walking gear away from the main areas of the house. Continue through to the neighbouring living/dining area, beautifully-appointed with a rustic exposed stone mantel housing a character feature fire alongside a sumptuous sofa, inviting you to put your feet up and unwind with a moment of peace in front of the television after an action-packed day. Perch at the breakfast bar and share a bottle of wine with the designated chef as they cook up a storm in the amply-equipped kitchen, serving your tasty treats at the grand dining table to indulge in some overdue quality time with your loved ones. In the warmer weather, take your experience outside with a spot of alfresco dining in the tranquil setting of the courtyard at the rear of the property, toasting a glass of fizz to an unforgettable holiday. As the day draws to a close, head upstairs to the first-floor where you'll find two thoughtfully laid out bedrooms, a king-size and a double, along with a contemporary family bathroom fit with a bath and a spacious walk-in shower, giving guests the choice between enjoying a leisurely soak or a quick morning rinse. A stylish bathroom and two further bedrooms are set on the second-floor, a king-size and a snug twin room, framing captivating views across the rooftops to the stunning fells in the near distance. Take the short stroll into the heart of Keswick to discover the fascinating history of pencil manufacturing at Derwent Pencil Museum, explore the unusual illusion exhibits at the amusement attraction of Puzzling Place, take a leisurely stroll through the scenic manicured gardens of Hope Park and if you time it right, catch a spot of live entertainment at the Theatre By The Lake. Travel to the nearby lake of Derwentwater where thrill seekers can traverse the walls and roof of a subterranean slate mine, or partake in a session of Ghyll Scrambling with Keswick Extreme. If you'd prefer to stay on land, head off on foot to explore the varying landscape of the Lake District National Park, decorated in glacial ribbon lakes, rugged fell mountains and quaint market towns; avid hikers can tackle the climb to the summit of Scafell Pike, the tallest mountain in England, boasting panoramic views across the picturesque countryside reaching as far as Scotland on a clear day. When you return home after a long day, there is a hot and cold tap outside to clean down your furry friends. With all of this and more, treat your loved ones to a stay at The Deekabout.

Resting in the North of the picturesque Lake District National Park is the popular tourist town of Keswick. Hosting an array of shops and eateries as well as a plethora of exciting attractions including miniature golf, the Theatre by the Lake and the Pencil Museum, there's something for everyone in this charming town. Within easy reach is the tranquil lake of Derwentwater along with a good selection of walking, cycling and hiking routes suitable for a range of abilities.
