Description

As you enter the cottage you'll 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 DVDs on the shelves for guests to enjoy.

The dining room separates the lounge from the kitchen, which is supplied with cooker, hob, microwave and dishwasher.

Under the stairs, you'll find the washing machine, and there is a tumble dryer in the outhouse.

Upstairs, 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 your arrival.

The bathroom is also upstairs, with a bath hand-held shower head over, WC, and basin. The quaint bathroom features a sloping, beamed ceiling.

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

Complimentary Wifi is included for guest convenience.

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

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.

Reviews

Fantastic stay in Braithwaite
Lovely cottage, close to amenities and bus connections to Keswick (within walking distance also). We ditched the car and could achieve many wonderful hikes over various fells in the area such as Barrow, Skiddaw and Eel Crag. Used the bus to travel to Buttermere for further hikes. Can not fault anything about the cottage. Kitchen is small but perfectly fine and equipped for two people (plenty of pubs in Braithwaite for meals out besides). Of all the places we have stayed, Spa Cottage is the first where we have both had restful sleep every night. That's an achievement! Would definitely return.

Hi Arron, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review of Spa Cottage. We're delighted to hear you had such a fantastic stay in Braithwaite and that the cottage provided everything you needed for a comfortable and relaxing holiday. It's wonderful to know you were able to leave the car behind and make the most of the local bus links, walks into Keswick, and the fantastic range of hiking opportunities right from the doorstep. We're especially pleased to hear that you both enjoyed such restful sleep during your stay, as we know how important that is when exploring the Lakes each day. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and helps both us and future guests choose the right property for their stay. If you return to the area, we'd highly recommend a visit to Whinlatter Forest, which offers beautiful walking trails, stunning viewpoints, and plenty more opportunities to enjoy the Lake District scenery. We look forward to welcoming you back to Spa Cottage again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Our third visit to Spa Cottages. A great base for exploring the Lake District.
This was our third visit to Spa Cottages. It is a great base for exploring the Lake District. Parking can be a bit tight, but for the majority of the time we were able to park directly outside the property.

Hi, Phil! Thank you for your lovely review and for choosing to return to Spa Cottages for a third visit — it really means a lot to us. We’re delighted to hear it continues to be a great base for exploring the Lake District. Thank you as well for mentioning the parking. We appreciate your understanding that it can be a little tight at times, though we’re pleased you were able to park directly outside for most of your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back again for your next visit. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Cosy cottage in a great location
Very cosy (with the log burner), a great location with many local walks and well equiped. Thanks for the dog welcome pack.

Hi, Adrian! Thank you so much for your kind review of Spa Cottage. You are very, very welcome for the pup pack! We're big dog-lovers here. Spa Cottage is a perfect retreat for your Lakes break, with the historic Village Shop, 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. We'd love to welcome you back soon! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Beautiful cottage in a beautiful area. Thank you.
Really enjoyed our stay at Spa Cottage in Braithwaite. Beautifully decorated, well equipped for self catering needs, fell walking, and indoor activities - books, games, tv and radio. Within walking distance of village shop, local eateries, bus stop and footpaths to low level walks as well as Wainwright hikes. Thoughtful welcome package for dog as well as humans
Fabulous accommodation in Braithwaite and ideal location for hiking in the Lake District. Everything was spotlessly clean nicely decorated and nice amenities close by. Would defiantly like to stop here again.
