Kestrel Cottage, a charming three-bedroom cottage is nestled in the breath-taking beauty of the Lake District National Park in Bassenthwaite near Keswick, Cumbria.
Perfect for pet-lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, this tranquil cottage in the Northern Fells area, surrounded by Wainwright fells, provides a warm and inviting atmosphere with lake views and a woodburning stove, ideal for evening gatherings with friends and family.
Embrace the idyllic scenery and explore the hidden gems of the Lake District, with Kestrel Cottage providing the perfect home-from-home experience.
Step into your new abode and gather in the kitchen while you whip up your best dishes to be enjoyed around the dining table; after tucking in, unwind in the sitting room and bask in the warmth of the woodburning stove, a perfect spot for an evening spent with friends and family.
Upstairs, discover three inviting bedrooms, two double and one single, all neutrally-presented and perfect for winding down at the end of a long day.
Freshen up in the ground-floor shower room, completing your evening routine before hunkering down for your beauty sleep.
Should you fancy an evening tipple or a night off from cooking, the nearest pub, The Sun Inn, is dog-friendly and makes the perfect base, just a mile away; alternatively you can tour the Lake District Distillery and bring home your tipple, or spend an afternoon on a steam train with lunch at Bassenthwaite Station.
Ideally positioned on the Cumbrian Way, there is an abundance of outdoor activities to be enjoyed, starting from the doorstep; head up the England’s 4th-highest mountain, Skiddaw, from Kestrel Cottage, or make the walk to the beautiful Bassenthwaite Lake for some wild swimming.
Uncover Bassenthwaite’s natural and cultural gems, for a serene and tranquil stroll along the lake's shoreline.
Following the Cumbrian Way, venture to the popular spot of Keswick, where you can find plenty of shops and dining options before jumping on the bus back to Kestrel Cottage.
Enjoy the picturesque valleys in Borrowdale, activity-filled Derwent Water with its activities such as boating, sailing, windsurfing, and kayaking available to take out onto the lake.
Enjoy the natural beauty of wild swimming just a short distance away.
Get your walking boots on and hike Scafell Pike and Helvellyn, and find another picture-perfect lake, Buttermere, all just short and scenic drives away.
If you’re looking for some off-lead time with your four-legged friends, Park Wood and Dodd Wood are nearby and offer a delightful route for you and your pooch.
Finally for a spot of history, head to the birthplace of William Wordsworth and Fletcher Christian, Cockermouth, where you can brush up on the local culture.
From the tranquil Bassenthwaite, to the activity-filled Derwent Water, and the unbeatable scenery surrounding, your Lake District experience awaits at Kestrel Cottage.
