Description

On entering this fabulous Lakeland cottage you will find yourself in the stunning kitchen/diner, which has been completely refurbished for 2023. The kitchen makes a lovely place to socialise while you cook and dine, and is well stocked and equipped with double range master gas oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washer/dryer and microwave.

The warm and welcoming lounge is ideal for spending quality time with friends and family. There is plenty of comfortable seating, a stunning open fireplace perfect for cosy nights in, board games and books to enjoy, and even a Smart TV with complimentary Netflix access.

On the first floor there are two pretty bedrooms nicely decorated with solid oak furniture, along with quality beds and mattresses dressed with luxury linens and towels. The double bedroom room has plenty of storage space with bedside tables, wardrobe and chest of drawers. There is room for a cot if required. The second bedroom has two single beds, bedside table, wardrobe, chest of drawers. Both bedrooms have original cast iron fireplaces, stunning views of Skiddaw plus well co-ordinated soft furnishings & decoration.

The beautiful Victorian style bathroom is on the same floor as the bedrooms, and features a roll top bath ideal for soaking tired muscles after a day of exploring the great outdoors!

There is a small enclosed garden to the front and one offset to the rear of the property which is accessed by descending wooden steps from the elevated patio area at the back door . The lawned rear garden is south facing with garden furniture for alfresco dining.

Guests will not need to worry about where to leave the car/s during their stay as there are two good-sized allocated car parking spaces for the cottage.

The cottage is perfectly placed at the heart of the charming village of Portinscale. The popular Farmer's Arms pub is conveniently only a stones throw away, and The Chalet tearoom, Lingholm Gardens and the marinas also nearby. The views from the cottage are sure to inspire and walkers will delight at what's on offer straight from the front door. Head up Catbells for a fantastic birds eye view of Derwentwater. 10 minutes from the property, the walk takes you along the lakeshore, through woods where Beatrix Potter set some of her best loved books.

The cottage is next door to Fell View, which may prove ideal for two families wishing to holiday together.

We have stayed at Tawny Cottage previously and it met all expectations. On this occasion the refurb to the Kitchen only made things better. The cottage has all you need in terms of cooking, heating and even washing walking gear. The location is ideal for exploring the area on foot, car parking for two cars is a bonus .Do try the Farmers Arms if you get chance ,overall an excellent stay over the New Year.

Great bade and facilities. Really impressed with everything, needed nothing. Found a lovely walk into Keswick centre, about a mile away.
Fantastic cottage, beautiful views from bedroom. Bedding was prestigious and comfortable. Quality cottage and furniture. Spacious in side.Thank you for the lovely stay at the cottage, had a wonderful time. 5 star for cleanliness’s spotless. Very cosy thank you for the great communication through out our stay.
This is a great cottage, with a really cozy and homely feel. I was really impressed with the furniture and finishes, which are quality and of a high standard. There isn't much in the village where it is located, but you are only 5 minutes walk from the lake, and 15 minutes walk or 5 minutes drive from the centre of Keswick. Lovely fell view from the kitchen window or back patio/garden. Very quiet, relaxed and chilled, just what we were looking for.
