Description

The lounge is 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 in which to relax and just look out admiring the views.

The newly refurbished dining kitchen is fully fitted and very well equipped with hob, oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher microwave, plenty of crockery and glassware, dining table and four chairs and french doors which lead to the 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, one double room with a super king size bed, pine furniture, and coordinating fabrics. The front bedroom has an en-suite shower room with shower, WC and wash hand basin. The second bedroom is again well finished and 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 exceptional views towards numerous fells. Rock Lynn is an ideal property where you can escape and relax but within striding distance of the pubs and shop and superb walking from the doorstep. To the back of the bungalow there is a steep grassed area where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the fells.

Fancy an extra treat for your holiday? Hot tub hire is available at this property (add on extras page)

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 tearoom.

Lovely bungalow in a good location with great outside space.
We had a lovely 4 nights in baking hot weather so the outside space was fantastic. We ate outside every night, and didn't need to use the covered BBQ area - a genius idea for the usually wetter Lakes! The bungalow was spotlessly clean and the kitchen was well equipped. An added bonus was the utility room which allowed us to store our teenager's mountain bike safely. It's a great spot for riding up to Whinlatter Forest or walking up Grizedale Pike from the door.

Hi Diane, Thank you for your review. Nestled in the village of Braithwaite, Rock Lynn is the perfect base for anyone wanting to get out and explore the area. Not far from Whinlatter with Go Ape and lots of mountain bike trails or only a short bus trip or nice walk in to Keswick. We're so pleased you got the chance to use the outdoor space with the fantastic weather we have had recently. We hope you had a fantastic holiday! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

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!
