Description

As you enter the cottage you will find yourself in the porch area, where there is space for coats, boots and walking gear.

To the front of the cottage is the lounge, which is full of character and comes with two seater leather sofa, chair, TV, and a lovely warming stove perfect for curling up on winter evenings. There is a selection of books and DVD's on the shelves for guests to enjoy.

The dining room separates lounge from the kitchen, which is supplied with cooker, hob, microwave and dishwasher. Under the stairs will be found the washing machine, and there is a tumble drier in the outhouse.

Upstairs to the front the master bedroom has a king-size bed and catches the morning sun, while the rear bedroom has a comfortable single bed. Both bedrooms will be made up with luxury crisp white bed linen and towels for guest arrival.

The bathroom is also upstairs and has a bath to soak tired muscles after a day of exploring the Lakes, there is a hand-held shower head over the bath, WC and basin. The quaint bathroom features a sloping, beamed ceiling.

The pretty rear garden catches the afternoon sun and is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine on warm, lazy summer evenings.

The historic Village Shop is a must-visit conveniently situated across the road, selling everything from household essentials, to craft beers, take-away snacks/drinks, locally baked bread and cakes, and gifts to take home for family.Braithwaite is a pretty Lakeland village situated at the foot of the Whinlatter Pass, less than 3 miles from Keswick. Tucked below Grisedale Pike, the village is the perfect base for exploring on foot the hills forming the Coledale Horseshoe, or on a bike the mountain trails of the Whinlatter Forest.

Bassenthwaite Lake and Derwent are within 5 minutes and the Valleys of Borrowdale, Buttermere and the Whinlatter Forest (Go Ape/Mountain bike trails) are close by. There are three pubs in Braithwaite village, The Coledale, The Ruddings and The Royal Oak, all within walking distance from the cottage.

Complimentary Wifi is included for guest convenience.

There is unrestricted on-street parking in front of the cottage.

Lovely little cottage in Braithwaite. I know village well & was up visiting parents. Very tastefully decorated. Pretty little garden with a pull out washing line. Nice little pack left for my dog including a toy. I will come again. Parking is an issue especially as now an air bnb opposite. Says in blurb parking in front of property but it was never free. Plus sometimes tricky getting through gate as cars are parked so close. I luckily had parking at my parents who live up the road but would have annoyed me if this wasn't the case. There is other parking in village so not sure why people think they can park in front of someone's else's home? Apart from parking it had everything you need. Very small but well thought out.

Hi Alison, Thank you for your review of Spa Cottage. Braithwaite is a lovely little village with a great choice of places to eat and even a village shop. Spa Cottage is located right in the heart of the village so close to all of the amenities with lots of walks right from your doorstep including Barrow and Grisedale Pike. There is parking outside the property but unfortunately it is unrestricted on-street parking so quite easy for someone to pinch the space outside the front. I hope this did not affect your stay too much and you still had a fantastic holiday. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Spa Cottage Review
Our second visit to Spa Cottage and it did not disappoint. Its a small, clean cottage that is ideally located to explore the Lake District. The cottage was clean and tidy upon our arrival and there was a small welcome pack which was much appreciated. Car parking was limited but we managed to get parked in front or close to our property every day. We would recommend this property and look forward to returning again some time in the future.

Thank you so much for your review and recommendation of Spa Cottage! We love that this is your second visit here and it didn't disappoint! It stands on a row of old stone cottages dating back to the early 19th century beside the Coledale beck and although on the smaller side it is cosy and full of character. We're are so glad that upon arrival you found it clean and tidy. We are so happy you appreciated the complimentary welcome packs, it provides a small starter pack for your holiday. We can't wait to welcome you when you next visit! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

We were so happy with the cottage when we arrived. Everything was clean and comfortable and well equipped. The cottage was warm and cosy and the village was very tidy and we felt safe. Great walks and good bus service.
