Description

The heart of Rock Lynn is the lounge: homely and bright, with two comfortable leather settees and a lovely open fireplace, perfect for cosy winter nights.

There are fabulous views towards the fells from the main bay window and side window. This is a perfect room to relax and unwind in while enjoying the views of the surrounding fells and village.

The newly-refurbished kitchen-diner is fully fitted and very well equipped, including a hob, oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, and microwave, with a dining table and four chairs. French doors lead to the private patio area.

Off the kitchen there is a useful utility area with a washing machine, tumble dryer, and plenty of space to store walking gear after a day on the fells.

There are two very comfortable bedrooms. The front double bedroom boasts a superking bed, and an en-suite shower room with shower, WC and wash hand basin.

The second bedroom has two single beds and an en-suite bathroom with bath, WC and wash hand basin.

Both bedrooms have zip-linked beds which means that either room can be made up as a double or a twin room. If you require a change in configuration of beds (eg two doubles or two twin rooms) a charge of £15.00 will be made.

The bedrooms will be made up with luxury white bed linen and towels for your arrival.

This is a lovely, bright bungalow with plenty of space, private parking to the front for up to four cars, a private patio to the side with picnic bench and the most incredible views towards numerous fells.

Rock Lynn is an ideal property where you can escape and relax, but within striding distance of the pubs, the village shop and a range of walking routes.

To the back of the bungalow there is a steep grassed area where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the fells.

The property now features a wood fired hot tub for no extra charge. Logs are provided.

Braithwaite is a cosy, close-knit village just outside of Keswick. With a village shop, three local pubs, and plenty of walks right on your doorstep, you won’t even need to leave the village.

If you’re looking to venture out into the Lake District without a car, Braithwaite is serviced by the X4 and X5 bus services, running all the way from Workington to Penrith, linking Braithwaite to local train stations.

A lovely cottage in a beautiful village.
Rock Lynn has stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The rooms are large and there is plenty of storage space. Much thought has gone in to the decor. it is situated in a peaceful location a few minutes walk from the centre of the village. There is a bus service to Keswick in one direction and to Cockermouth in the other. The village is well served with a shop and 4 restaurants. It is also ideal for those who enjoy walking the fells. We have stayed in Braithwaite many times and this is one of the best cottages. I gave 4 for location because we found parking the car a little difficult. Having said this we are not the most skilled of drivers and we have had similar problems in other cottages in Braithwaite.

Thank you, Kathryn, for your wonderful review of Rock Lynn. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the stunning mountain views, spacious rooms and thoughtful décor, and that the peaceful setting in the heart of Braithwaite helped make your stay so enjoyable. It's lovely to know that, having stayed in the village many times, Rock Lynn ranks among the best cottages you've visited. We also appreciate your comments regarding parking. Feedback like this is incredibly valuable to us and to future guests looking for the right property for their holiday, helping them better understand what to expect before they arrive. We're so pleased that the village's facilities, transport links and fantastic walking opportunities added to your experience. We would be delighted to welcome you back to Rock Lynn in the future. On your next visit, a walk through Newlands Valley is highly recommended, with beautiful scenery and some of the most peaceful views in the area. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Home from home in a beautiful location
We absolutely loved our stay at Rock Lynn. The location was fantastic, great pubs in walking distance, big beautiful views and only a short drive into Keswick. The house itself was very homely with comfortable beds. The hot tub was a lovely treat and really easy to use/heat up. The only thing to note for those looking for complete peace and quiet is that you can hear the main road from the house, which might not suit everyone. However it didn't dampen our stay and we will definitely be back.

Cosy well equipped and located cottage, a perfect base for walking, pubs and access to Keswick’s amenities.
After Christmas we booked another stay at Rock Lynn. A wonderful property in a great little village just outside of Keswick. The ideal property as a base for walks or just a week's peace and quiet. Some great walks and strolls from the front door, and we took advantage of its perfect location....and the property was spotlessly clean. All in all, another great week.
Another lovely stay with Keswick Cottages. Rock Lynn was clean, tidy, and well equipped with lovely walks direct from the door, and a pub and shop just down the road in Braithwaite. The driveway and garden are steep and could be a problem if you have mobility issues!
