Description

On entering this fabulous Lakeland cottage you will find yourself in the stunning kitchen/diner, which has been completely refurbished for 2023. The kitchen makes a lovely place to socialise while you cook and dine, and is well stocked and equipped with double range master gas oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washer/dryer and microwave.

The warm and welcoming lounge is ideal for spending quality time with friends and family. There is plenty of comfortable seating, a stunning open fireplace perfect for cosy nights in, board games and books to enjoy, and even a Smart TV with complimentary Netflix access.

On the first floor there are two pretty bedrooms nicely decorated with solid oak furniture, along with quality beds and mattresses dressed with luxury linens and towels. The double bedroom room has plenty of storage space with bedside tables, wardrobe and chest of drawers. There is room for a cot if required. The second bedroom has two single beds, bedside table, wardrobe, chest of drawers. Both bedrooms have original cast iron fireplaces, stunning views of Skiddaw plus well co-ordinated soft furnishings & decoration.

The beautiful Victorian style bathroom is on the same floor as the bedrooms, and features a roll top bath ideal for soaking tired muscles after a day of exploring the great outdoors!

There is a small enclosed garden to the front and one offset to the rear of the property which is accessed by descending wooden steps from the elevated patio area at the back door . The lawned rear garden is south facing with garden furniture for alfresco dining.

Guests will not need to worry about where to leave the car/s during their stay as there are two good-sized allocated car parking spaces for the cottage.

The cottage is perfectly placed at the heart of the charming village of Portinscale. The popular Farmer's Arms pub is conveniently only a stones throw away, and The Chalet tearoom, Lingholm Gardens and the marinas also nearby. The views from the cottage are sure to inspire and walkers will delight at what's on offer straight from the front door. Head up Catbells for a fantastic birds eye view of Derwentwater. 10 minutes from the property, the walk takes you along the lakeshore, through woods where Beatrix Potter set some of her best loved books.

The cottage is next door to Fell View, which may prove ideal for two families wishing to holiday together.

Want Cottage
Lovely cottage would stay again if visiting Keswick. The only thing is some games or dvds would have been nice considering how the weather can be. However it was excellent and comfortable. Be aware there are 2 separate parking spaces, we missed this until the last day.

Thank you so much for your review of Tawny Cottage! We are so happy you found it comfortable and excellent. The two onsite car parking spaces are a great feature of the property.

A great cottage, nicely furnished with comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. It was well heated, making it very cozy to come back to, after day long hikes in the rain and definitely helped in drying clothes. Very nice welcome packages with tea/coffee and cleaning products.
