A lovely and well appointed lodge with amazing views over fields with sheep and beautiful fells/hills! Well equipped and comfortable beds. About 15-20min walk into the centre of Keswick which is at the Derwent water with various possibilities of further walking and hikes, boat trips, swimming and other water sports.

Recently refurbished to a high standard, Whinny Brow provides a fantastic base for exploring the stunning Lake District. We look forward to returning soon.

Excellent position on the site, overlooking fields and fells, and with a laurel hedge providing screening along one side. Blissfully quiet.The deck is perfect for morning coffee, and safe for toddlers, fenced in, with gate that closes at the top of the steps up to the front door.Easy key safe, let yourself in, greeted by spotless, roomy and comfortable lounge, super little kitchen and very comfy beds - it is possible to lie in the double bed and look up at Skiddaw through the trees.I particularly enjoyed walking five minutes down the road to a bikers' café, American Diner style, called The Filling Station, which served all day breakfasts including pancakes with bacon and maple syrup, plus good coffee.I'm on a low income so it was a splash out for me and I'm so glad I did it, for the peace alone.Thank you to the owners for the nice welcome card, too
