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 within a 10 minute stroll to Keswick’s Market Square. The property has been tastefully decorated to provide fresh and immaculately clean accommodation for up to four guests.

The cottage 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 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 is very well equipped, with 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.

Nice accommodation
A lovely bungalow in a quiet cul-de-sac, with good views out to Skiddaw, Latrigg and Blencathra. A pleasant 10 minute walk from the town centre.

Hi, James! We're so glad you enjoyed your stay at Blencathra. This property is very peaceful, and we love the views! Did you manage to spot any red squirrels? We hope you managed to do everything you wanted to during your stay, despite the weather! It's a good thing we have a washing machine and dryer in the property with the wet Cumbrian weather! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Review of Blencathra
This was our fifth stay at Blencathra, and we have already booked for next year, it's a great place to stay.

Hi David, Thank you for your review. It's great to hear that you have stayed at Blencathra so many times and that you are returning again next year. It is in a great location, only a short walk in to town with great views of the fells. The conservatory and garden are fantastic places to relax after a day of adventures. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

A quiet location, within reach of all amenities
We booked Blencathra at short notice after being told that the cottage we had booked to stay in (with a different company) had been sold. The bungalow suited us very well, being comfortably furnished and well equipped, and with its own off-street parking place. We particularly liked the conservatory and the garden, providing outdoor space to relax after our long walks, and we enjoyed watching the rabbits! The location is good, a very quiet residential area, with the shops, restaurant and buses of Keswick within walking distance. We will definitely book again for next year.

Hi, Thank you for a great review of Blencathra. We are thrilled that you enjoyed your stay in this fantastic property. The area is lovely and quiet while being close to local amenities, making it the perfect base for a stay in the Lake District. We look forward to welcoming you back next year! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
