The property

Keswick 2 miles.

Oakdene is a welcoming cottage set in the lakeside village of Portinscale, close to Keswick in Cumbria, offering an excellent base for couples or friends keen to explore the Lake District.

With Derwentwater just a short stroll away and walking routes beginning right from the doorstep, it’s ideally placed for making the most of this striking landscape.

Inside, the kitchen/diner is equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, washing machine, kettle and toaster, providing everything needed for easy self‑catering.

There’s space to sit and dine together before moving through to the sitting room, where a woodburning stove creates a warm focal point after days spent on the fells.

It’s a comfortable spot to rest tired legs following walks around Catbells, along the shores of Derwentwater or deeper into the Borrowdale Valley.

The cottage offers two double bedrooms, arranged in a straightforward layout that works well for small groups or two couples travelling together.

A family bathroom completes the interior, featuring a bath with shower over, basin, heated towel rail and WC.

Central heating, WiFi, bed linen, towels, fuel and power are all included to ensure a relaxed, hassle‑free stay.

Outside, an enclosed garden with patio, lawn, and pond provides a peaceful place to sit out and enjoy the quiet village setting.

Off‑road parking is available at the property, with additional roadside spaces nearby if required.

Portinscale itself has a friendly local pub, while Keswick, just a short distance away, offers a wider choice of shops, cafés and restaurants, along with attractions such as the Theatre by the Lake and the Derwent Pencil Museum.

Nearby Bassenthwaite Lake provides opportunities for watersports and wildlife spotting, and the market town of Cockermouth is worth a visit for its independent shops and literary links to William Wordsworth.

Ullswater and the dramatic Aira Force waterfall are also within easy reach for further scenic walks.

Combining comfort, location and easy access to lakes, mountains and traditional Cumbrian towns, Oakdene is a well‑situated base for discovering the Lake District at your own pace.

Please note this property has a pond in the garden and is not suitable for children under the age of 7 years old. ( Children over 7 years old and pets must be supervised at all times in the garden)
