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, fantastic for kicking off muddy boots.

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 original features shining 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 self-catering holiday in the Lake District. 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.. 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.

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.

To the front of the property is the driveway that comfortably fits two cars.

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

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.

Braithwaite Bliss
Had a wonderful week staying at Mill House through Keswick Cottages. Fabulous location in the village. House very well equipped and comfortable. Enjoyed playing pool too. Just loved waking up to the views out the windows. Would thoroughly recommend the house and the Keswick Cottages company. Thank you.

Hi, Katharine! What a lovely review. We're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay, and we're proud to have been a part of that. The pool table is brilliant, isn't it? It's one of our favourite features of this property, after the window seat in the living room. There's nothing like waking up, enjoying a drink from the pod coffee machine and sitting in the window seat with it, enjoying the views as you wake up for the day. Braithwaite amenities include three lovely pubs serving food and local ales, village shop and a tea room, so you never have to leave the village if you don't want to. We'd love to welcome you back soon; Braithwaite is even lovelier in the summer! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great family holiday in amazing cottage
One of the best holiday cottages we have ever stayed in, we loved Mill House as soon as we walked through the door. The property was immaculate, beautifully furnished and well equipped, the perfect place for a family gathering of 6 adults. We especially enjoyed the pool table, log fire and falling asleep to the sound of the stream. Great walks from the doorstep and 2 pubs nearby (Coledale Inn was our favourite). Also, would highly recommend Keswick Cottages. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the booking process and app they send you with all the details are excellent – great company to deal with. Hope to return some day, and would definitely book with Keswick Cottages again.

Hi, Victoria! Thank you for choosing to stay with Keswick Cottages. We're so glad you enjoyed your stay. The pool table and log burner are amazing, aren't they? But we agree-- nothing beats falling asleep to the sound of the stream. Mill House is a really relaxing property, and we love the Coledale Inn! We hope to welcome you back soon. Maybe in summer you'll be able to make good use of the newly-fitted kitchen and outdoor space. Nothing beats starting the morning with a coffee, freshly made with our coffee machine, on the patio. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

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.

Hi Susan, Thank you for your review. Mill House is situated in the lovely village of Braithwaite where you will find several places to eat and drink and lots of walks right from the front door including Grisedale Pike, Barrow or for the more adventurous there is Go Ape! up at Whinlatter. Mill House itself is the perfect home from home, with several areas to relax in and a games room for challenging friends or family. We hope that we can welcome you back again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.
