Other outdoor activities available locally include mountain biking in Whinlatter Forest, kayaking and sailing on the lakes, rock climbing and ghyll scrambling to name but a few. The ‘not so fit’ may prefer gentle strolls around the town’s parks and shops, partaking in the café culture on Keswick’s pedestrianised market place or a trip on the launch around Derwentwater. Across the road in Fitz Park is an excellent children’s play park, the Keswick Museum with café, a bowling green and the Keswick Leisure Pool is adjacent. Shop 30 yards, pub and restaurant 100 yards.

Great location, generally cottage well equippedand lots of space. Disappointed as only booked due to presence of high chair and travel cot. Travel cot was unusable as no mattress provided and unsafe advice was given by cottages.com staff. Made a bad start to our holiday with our baby. Have requested they update description but no change made yet. Great stay for adults, if bringing a baby bring your own kit.

Just enjoyed a 4 night stay. The house was well set up for 4 of us and very cosy with the wood burners. I would recommend it and come back back again. A car parking space was an added bonus.
