    “A lovely get away from it all cottage.”

    Walks from the door and spectacular views to come back too. Everything you need in the cottage both rooms with en-suite. A Spa pass was a really nice addition much appreciated. Overall a wonderful time. Just be aware there's accommodation above and can get some noise in the morning as they move around. Also found direction confusing so what three words from other guest helped or head for Birkrigg on OS maps its there. Things owner might like to consider or look at. I think a bench outside ...

    Walks from the door and spectacular views to come back too. Everything you need in the cottage both rooms with en-suite. A Spa pass was a really nice addition much appreciated. Overall a wonderful time. Just be aware there's accommodation above and can get some noise in the morning as they move around. Also found direction confusing so what three words from other guest helped or head for Birkrigg on OS maps its there. Things owner might like to consider or look at. I think a bench outside the door to sit and take the great view after a long walk would be a great addition. The chest of draws in twin room some new handles most draws only had one instead of two. The floor outside the loo in twin room screws a little proud if the mat moves. We were woken in the mornings by young children running around but we've been there a few years ago now, and that didn't spoil the experience.

About the location

NEWLANDS

Keswick 5 miles.

Newlands is a classic unspoilt hamlet in the farming Newlands Valley, and an historic route over the pass (hause) into Buttermere. Farms are scattered throughout the valley with Stair and Little Town being the main settlements. The Newlands Valley is an excellent base for a walking holiday, with a huge variety of walking routes, including low level valley walks, ridge walks and fell walks. The area is also well known for its links with Beatrix Potter; “The Tale of Mrs Tiggywinkle'' uses the Newlands Valley as its backdrop and Catbells, Skelgill and Little Town can all be recognised from her sketches. Nearby, the small village of Braithwaite retains much of its traditional appeal, with the Coledale Beck running through the village with its whitewashed cottages, two shops and two real ale inns. Nearby, Bassenthwaite Lake is one of the most picturesque places in England. Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the lake with an open-air theatre is well worth a visit, along with Trotters Farm and Dodd Wood. Derwentwater, and Keswick with its wide range of attractions, are also within easy reach.

Note: There are complimentary Armathwaite Hall Spa passes provided by the owner, adult use only due to the nature of the spa facilities (Must be pre-booked through the owners and subject to availability). Note: There is no wi-fi at the property, you may have some data coverage please check with your network provider. Note: Please bring your own towels, only hand towels are provided
