    “We had a gorgeously happy family fortnight staying at Grisedale Cottage.”

    Homely, comfortable, spacious and yet cosy and very calming , plenty of space and privacy for 6 adults. Loved breakfast outside, thunder rumbling in the hills, light and airy windows and really well thought out accommodation. Great to have the laundry changed mid stay and the lawn mower man! Only criticism we have is directed at Sykes. Pre booking we rang Sykes to enquire if the garden was completely secure for dogs as from the images it looked as if some of the fencing was too open and ...

    Homely, comfortable, spacious and yet cosy and very calming , plenty of space and privacy for 6 adults. Loved breakfast outside, thunder rumbling in the hills, light and airy windows and really well thought out accommodation. Great to have the laundry changed mid stay and the lawn mower man! Only criticism we have is directed at Sykes. Pre booking we rang Sykes to enquire if the garden was completely secure for dogs as from the images it looked as if some of the fencing was too open and didn't have supporting mesh. The very kind chap said he would check and get back to us. He reported that it was 100% secure. On arrival it was clear that this wasn't the case. The ranch fencing at the front is far too open at the front and this is clearly stated in the property handbook. So that was frustrating, especially after paying the doggy surcharge. However property wise this is a real gem of a stay and we loved it.

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.
