    “Wonderful place to stay, with fantastic scenery and location.”

    The reason for visiting, was to celebrate my 70th birthday with my family and we all thoroughly enjoyed our stay there. Only downside, is the continuing, post covid, leaving arrangements. Not sure if these over the top rules, are required anymore. A large party trying to complete these tasks by 09.00, is not easy or realistic.

About the location

BRAITHWAITE

Keswick 3 miles.

Between the magnificent northern lakes of Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite, lies the village of Braithwaite. Still retaining much of its traditional appeal, the Coledale Beck runs through the village with whitewashed Lakeland cottages, two village shops and two real ale Inns each brimming with character! Between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw, there really is something for everyone. Visit Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the lake with an open-air theatre, or take a trip around the lake. Lake District Wildlife Park, Dodd Wood, Derwentwater, and Keswick with its wide range of attractions, are also within easy reach.
