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.

Nice house
We had a lovely stay in Rock Lynn. The house was very comfortable had good amenities. It was also in a lovely location with amazing views. We were a bit disappointed with the state of the outside area by the kitchen/utility room. It had a lot of weeds and there were many dead leaves in the lean-to and the barbecue looked quite dirty. The grass was cut weekly which was great but a bit more attention to the patio/stoned area would have been appreciated. It was also a bit disappointing that we had to chase for the linen and towel change - we were expecting it to be done on the middle Saturday but we’re only told when chasing that it would be done on the Sunday. The lack of communication was disappointing.

Thank you so much for your review of Rock Lynn. It is lovely to know you had a comfortable stay while exploring the area. This particular property is cleaned and maintained by the owners, who live locally. They sincerely apologise that the patio area was in need of some attention, they have since tidied up the space, which does make a lovely place to relax and admire the views on warmer days. It is really important to them that guests enjoy their holiday at Rock Lynn, so they would have made sure this was rectified during your stay if it was mentioned when they popped round to see you on Saturday regarding the linen and towel change. They were sorry that the linen and towel change took place a day later than originally planned, they always do their very best to carry out this service halfway through two week stays, however due to a family matter it was not possible on this occasion. We did speak with you on the phone, and the owner called round to see you on Saturday afternoon, but we apologise that you still felt disappointed. We hope this would not deter you from returning in the future. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Relaxing and peaceful holiday in a beautiful location
We had a wonderful and peaceful stay in Rock Lynn. We had everything we needed in a lovely location to many of the Lakes. The bungalow was lovely and quiet and ideal for travelling to many beautiful areas. The only down side was the garden was steeper then expected for my dogs and elderly parents but this is the only negative. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you.

Thank you so much for your review of Rock Lynn! We are so happy that you had everything you needed and found the location lovely. We are so glad you found the bungalow itself quiet, lovely and an ideal base for exploring. We're sorry that you found the garden too steep. Thank you so much for your recommendation, we hope you had a wonderful time! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

A great location in Braithwaite
Rock Lynn is a very comfortable bungalow. It is ideally situated in Braithwaite with good views and close to all local amenities. We really enjoyed our stay.

Thank you so much for your review of Rock Lynn! We are so happy you found it a very comfortable bungalow. Situated in the village of Braithwaite, it has amazing views of the surrounding fells and the village itself is charming and has a village shop with a small café. It is only a 20 minute walk to Keswick or a short drive. We are so glad to know you enjoyed your stay and we hope to welcome you back again! 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!
