Description

As you enter the cottage you will find yourself in the porch area, where there is space for coats, boots and walking gear.

To the front of the cottage is the lounge, which is full of character and comes with two seater leather sofa, chair, TV, and a lovely warming stove perfect for curling up on winter evenings. There is a selection of books and DVD's on the shelves for guests to enjoy.

The dining room separates lounge from the kitchen, which is supplied with cooker, hob, microwave and dishwasher. Under the stairs will be found the washing machine, and there is a tumble drier in the outhouse.

Upstairs to the front the master bedroom has a king-size bed and catches the morning sun, while the rear bedroom has a comfortable single bed. Both bedrooms will be made up with luxury crisp white bed linen and towels for guest arrival.

The bathroom is also upstairs and has a bath to soak tired muscles after a day of exploring the Lakes, there is a hand-held shower head over the bath, WC and basin. The quaint bathroom features a sloping, beamed ceiling.

The pretty rear garden catches the afternoon sun and is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine on warm, lazy summer evenings.

The historic Village Shop is a must-visit conveniently situated across the road, selling everything from household essentials, to craft beers, take-away snacks/drinks, locally baked bread and cakes, and gifts to take home for family.Braithwaite is a pretty Lakeland village situated at the foot of the Whinlatter Pass, less than 3 miles from Keswick. Tucked below Grisedale Pike, the village is the perfect base for exploring on foot the hills forming the Coledale Horseshoe, or on a bike the mountain trails of the Whinlatter Forest.

Bassenthwaite Lake and Derwent are within 5 minutes and the Valleys of Borrowdale, Buttermere and the Whinlatter Forest (Go Ape/Mountain bike trails) are close by. There are three pubs in Braithwaite village, The Coledale, The Ruddings and The Royal Oak, all within walking distance from the cottage.

Complimentary Wifi is included for guest convenience.

There is unrestricted on-street parking in front of the cottage.

Spa Cottage Review
Our second visit to Spa Cottage and it did not disappoint. Its a small, clean cottage that is ideally located to explore the Lake District. The cottage was clean and tidy upon our arrival and there was a small welcome pack which was much appreciated. Car parking was limited but we managed to get parked in front or close to our property every day. We would recommend this property and look forward to returning again some time in the future.
Lovely cottage
Lovely little cottage very well & tastefully equipped. Rather steep & awkward stairs but in character with old cottages. Car parking can be a little difficult at busy times. Enjoyed our stay . Thank you

Thank you for your lovely review of Spa Cottage, we are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Located in the village of Braithwaite, and just opposite the village shop, Spa Cottage is the ideal cosy retreat. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great cottage in a great location
A lovely cosy cottage (with wood burner). Good WiFi. Great location for local walks. Nice pub round the corner. Great for the odd supplies with the shop over the road. Great for pets. Road parking was fine. Everything was great in fact, except the pillows were too thick for me (I had to find a cushion and put the pillow case on that), the fridge was a bit small and the kitchen a bit small too (only space for 1 cook at a time)!

Thank you for your excellent review of Spa Cottage, we are delighted that you enjoyed your stay. It sounds like the location was perfect for you with walks from the doorstep and the pub and shop nearby. Thank you for the feedback on the pillows, we will be sure to forward this to the owner. The kitchen is compact, but we hope that this is portrayed accurately on the property photos and hopefully the space wasn't too much of an issue during your holiday! We'd love to have you back again for another stay. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
