Description

A superb semi-detached bungalow with wonderful views on an attractive site within a pleasant residential area on the edge of Keswick, between Fitz Park and the lower slopes of Latrigg. ‘Blencathra’ is about a 10 minute easy stroll to Keswick’s Market Square. The property has been tastefully decorated to provide fresh and immaculately clean accommodation for up to four guests.

‘Blencathra’ has ample parking, full double glazing and gas central heating. All radiators can be individually thermostatically controlled. The bungalow is situated at the top of a small, quiet cul-de-sac. It has a westerly aspect and the fells from Coledale, across Whinlatter Forest to Barf and Skiddaw make a spectacular panorama to the front. At the rear of the property there is a spacious garden providing a peaceful, leafy green area in which to relax and enjoy views of Skiddaw and Latrigg. Red squirrels are charming, frequent visitors. Patio furniture is provided for the summer months so guests can make the most of the tranquillity.

To the left of the front door is the comfortable lounge with outstanding westerly views. Furnished with a quality leather suite, Smart TV, DVD and living flame gas fire it is warm and cosy at any time of the year.

The superb double glazed conservatory at the rear of the bungalow provides a quiet and peaceful additional space in which to relax.

The kitchen/diner has very well equipped quality wooden units, an electric oven with a gas hob, extractor fan, washer/dryer, CD/radio and a larder fridge. The freezer is located in the garage which is also a useful area for drying wet clothes - and sorting out walking boots!

There are two good sized bedrooms, one with double bed and the other with two single beds, both having quality mattresses and furniture plus beds dressed in luxury linen and towels. Please note that this property is not suitable for children under the age of 12 years old.

Great location
Blencathra is in the perfect location. Within easy walking distance from Keswick yet very quiet and with great views of the mountains. The bungalow was very clean, warm and comfortable with excellent facilities. The conservatory is a real bonus even in Winter. The only slight criticism I would have is that one or two hooks would have been useful and better labelling of the keys, but that’s very minor and would definitely not prevent us from booking again.

Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We are so happy you found the location perfect, and that it was very clean, warm and comfortable with excellent facilities. We agree the conservatory is a great feature of Blencathra. Thank you for your suggestions, we will take these into consideration. We hope you had a wonderful time and we hope to welcome you back again. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

A lovely property
A clean and welcoming house in a quiet cul-de-sac. It has a particularly nice conservatory with fell-top views, and a decent sized garden, but as we stayed here in the winter we (sadly) weren't able to make use of this. It's slightly further out from the town centre than properties we've stayed at before (about a 7-10 minute walk), but this has some advantages, too. We'll definitely look to book this property again the next time we stay in Keswick.

Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy you enjoyed staying at Blencathra and found it a clean, welcoming house. We think the conservatory is a lovely feature of the property, we hope you had a wonderful time exploring Keswick and we look forward to welcoming you when you return. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Very clean and well equipped property. A warm, cosy and well situated base for walking. The conservatory was ideal for daytime lounging with views of the resident rabbits!

Blencathra was a lovely property to stay in for our holiday and we have rebooked for next year . It was very clean , tidy and quiet . It has all of the amenities you need with the added benefit of a very comfortable conservatory to relax in aswell as a neat tidy garden with lovely views . There are two ways of walking into Keswick taking only about 10-15mins at a leisurely pace . We would thoroughly recommend Blencathra as a base for a holiday in this lovely part of the country and dealing with Keswick Cottages was a pleasure .
