Description

As you enter the property via the porch at the front you are instantly greeted into the heart of the house. The hallway leads to different areas of the property and retains original features with the wooden block flooring.

Heading left off the hallway is the spacious and bright living room decorated with neutral colours and highlighting the original exposed beams. There are two two-seater sofas and a coffee table which surround the cosy log burner. If you're looking for a spot to enjoy your morning coffee or a good book, them the window seat provides just that with views over the garden and towards the village.

Straight ahead off the hallway is the large utility space and downstairs toilet. Fitted with plenty of storage, a sink and a washer/ dryer, it's the ideal place to store any outdoor kit. The stable doors lead to another porch off the rear of the property which will be fantastic for muddy boots after a rainy walk in the fells.

To the right of the hallway is a spacious entertainment/games room with views to the front and the rear of the property. Here you will find a pool table, and the original features shine through with the impressive fireplace and the tiled flooring.

Off the games room is the modern kitchen diner. The kitchen has been newly fitted with clean, white marble worktops and is equipped with everything you could need for your food preparation. The high-vaulted ceilings add to the feelings of space and the large windows to the rear of the room allow you to take in the beautiful garden and the fells beyond and the door allows access to the garden. The kitchen consists of a fridge/ freezer, oven and electric hob, dishwasher, kettle, toaster and even a pod coffee machine. The kitchen also has plenty of storage for your belongings and a breakfast bar. The dining area is an excellent space where six people can comfortably socialise and dine while recounting the days adventures, and planning the next!

The beautiful, enclosed garden wraps around the property and is a sun trap on a beautiful Lakeland day. It’s a peaceful place to sit and enjoy either your morning coffee or a drink in the evening whilst enjoying the blissful sound of the river and fell views beyond. The pretty patio area, with table and chairs, is the perfect place to gather for al fresco dining. To the front of the property is the driveway that comfortably fits two cars.

Moving upstairs, the master bedroom is the first door you come to on your left. The modern, neutral decor continues in this room, with the modern rattan furniture and the curved feature wall creating a bohemian feel. The are windows to the front and rear of the property providing stunning views. The room also benefits from a newly fitted en suite with white marble décor. There is a further two bedrooms, one double and one twin. Both bedrooms have a built-in closet to store your belongings. There is also a family bathroom with a shower over the bath, sink and WC.

It would be easy to park up and enjoy a jam-packed car-free holiday. Braithwaite amenities include three lovely pubs serving food and local ales, village shop and a tea room. There's nearby Whinlatter Forest along with a huge selection of walks and outdoor activities to choose from, a nearby bus stop with routes taking you all over the Lake District, and Keswick town centre only minutes away.

Visitors can enjoy the convenience of complimentary unlimited full fibre broadband.

What a find
We had a fabulous short break at Mill house. Spotlessly clean, very well equipped and in a great location. It was lovely to come home to this beautiful warm house after autumnal walks. We loved the pool table and relaxing in the kitchen diner. Close to 2 pubs and the village shop/tearoom where we enjoyed a lovely breakfast. Would highly recommend, we will definitely be back.
Beautiful property in a wonderful location
A family member had recommended this property and we were not disappointed. A lovely house with a large kitchen diner with great views over he hills. A nice sunny garden with a stream across the road is a great place to sit for a morning coffee. Private parking is a plus. The village is charming and the house is only a few yards from two pubs, a restaurant, the village store/tearoom and a cafe. Keswick is only a few minutes away by car. The booking and instructions were easy and the only difficulty was some confusion over bin collections, which was swiftly resolved over the phone by the staff cat the office. We plan to return next year.

Hi John, Thank you for your review. Mill House in perfectly locate in the centre of the lovely village of Braithwaite. There are several great places to eat and drink and plenty of walks from the doorstep including Barrow and Grisedale Pike. We hope that you had a fantastic stay and we look forward to welcoming you back next year. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

I cannot remember enjoying a self catering property so much
What a perfect experience. Quietly located (no traffic noise) in lovely Braithwaite with 2 of the bedrooms looking out over the adjacent pretty stream . The whole house is light and airy and there are effectively 2 places where you can chill out in the evenings - the traditional cosy lounge but also a large sitting and dining area adjacent to the kitchen which I particularly liked as it was so bright during the day. The kitchen is well equipped although I did struggle a bit with the induction cooker . I had to look up instructions online - it would have been nice to get a short hard copy of how it operates. well equipped laundry room. Bedrooms light and airy and very comfy beds. Short walk to 2 pubs and a restaurant or two. There was only one niggle - the sink in the en suite is so tiny you absolutely cannot wash in it (although the shower is lovely) and I had to wash in the main bathroom. I think this would be a problem if 6 people were in occupation. Otherwise . It really was perfect and I cannot remember staying in better holiday accommodation. - shame about the dreadful weather all week though!

Hi Christine, Thank you for your lovely review of Mill House. It is a fantastic property in the lovely village of Braithwaite. The house is right next to a pretty stream and only a short walk to the village shop or the local pubs. There are lots of walks that can be done from the door step including Barrow or Grisedale Pike. We hope you had great holiday! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
