Bay Tree Cottage

About this property

Bay Tree Cottage, a well-positioned, two-bedroom cottage rests in the enviable town of Keswick, within the heart of the Lake District National Park. Just a stone's throw away from a selection of shops, eateries, and attractions. Bay Tree Cottage welcomes couples, friends and families alike, to enjoy this wonderful corner of Cumbria. Be welcomed by unrestricted, roadside parking, where you can unload your belongings and make your way through the private front patio. Step indoors to be met by the stylish sitting room, with plush sofas to sink into whilst catching up with your favourite shows. Next door, the kitchen/diner is well-equipped for a self-catered stay, where you can dust off your recipe books and rustle up delicious meals to be enjoyed indoors, or why not set the picnic bench for an alfresco affair? Catch some rest from one of the two bedrooms on offer, selecting between a king-size and twin bedroom, before enjoying either a long soak or a refreshing shower in the spacious bathroom, preparing to explore Keswick. The town itself is brimming with amenities, where you can dine out at nearby Casa Bella, Fellpack, and the Woodstone Pizza & Flamegrill Keswick, and stock up on the essentials at one of the many convenience stores in proximity, whilst attractions are also plentiful, with tours of the Keswick Museum and Derwent Pencil Museum on offer, or the chance to enjoy an afternoon of watersports upon Derwentwater. With the Bassenthwaite Lake National Nature Reserve, be sure to pack your walking gear with the chance to hike the area and take in breath-taking vistas of the lakes, with nearby Skiddaw to summit, or discover the pretty grounds of Mirehouse & Gardens, a 17th-century home, enveloped by exotic blooms. Further beauty spots in the area include the Aira Force Waterfall, Ullswater lake, and Helvellyn summit, with Lake Windermere and its attractions a car journey away. With all of this to experience, book Bay Tree Cottage.
