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!

Great week in Blencathra
This is a fantastic cottage with everything that you need to enjoy a stay in Keswick. The property is extremely comfortable and the conservatory was an excellent option to sit with our coffee and watch the rabbits for the odd morning when we couldn't sit out in the garden due to the morning rain. The property is fully equipped with everything that you need to enjoy your stay, and it is a short walk into town. You can leave the car in the driveway and take longer walks from the property with access to Skiddaw and other climbs literally across the road. We would highly recommend a stay at Blencathra.

Hiya Graham! Thank you for your fantastic review of Blencathra. We're so pleased to hear that you had a great week and found the cottage comfortable, well-equipped, and ideally located for enjoying everything Keswick has to offer. The property is perfectly placed for walks up Latrigg or along the railway line to Threlkeld. The Pheasant Inn is also just around the corner where you can enjoy delicious homemade food and a great selections of ales. It is great to know you would recommend Blencathra and we hope we can welcome you back again soon! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great Bungalow
Lovely bungalow in a quiet area in walking distance of the centre of Keswick. Gorgeous garden and conservatory to sit and watch the birds and rabbits. Washing machine wasn't working when we visited but there was a note apologising. Pictures inside are old fashioned, pictures of the view from the bungalow would be nicer! Would stop again.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the bungalow’s peaceful location and found it within easy walking distance of the centre of Keswick. It’s wonderful to know you were able to make the most of the conservatory and garden too. Sitting and watching the birds and rabbits is one of the real pleasures of staying there! Thank you as well for your feedback. We apologise again that the washing machine was out of service during your stay, although we hope the advance notice helped avoid too much inconvenience. We also appreciate your suggestion regarding the pictures and will pass this on to the owner for consideration. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay overall and that you would happily stay again. We’d be delighted to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
