The Lakeside Stone Retreat - Tranquil Surroundings Keswick, Cumbria

With so much to explore plan your days wisely to make the most of your fabulous position. Pick up goodies from the twice-weekly market in Keswick or treat yourselves to a night off from the kitchen and a trip to the movies or the Theatre by the Lake (both less than a mile). Take to the water and book on a cruise of Derwentwater where you can get on and off to explore. From Lodore (3 miles) visit the falls walk up the family-friendly fell of Catbells from Hawse End (3.5 miles) or hire stand-up paddleboards and kayaks and make a splash. The idyllic Borrowdale Valley sits 6.5-miles south of your door and is a wonderful place to spend the day adventuring. Hang up hats and coats in the hall before making your way inside to settle down. Sumptuous style flows throughout the open-plan living space where the kitchen lounge and diner fit together to create an inviting heart of the home. A large sofa and pair of chairs sit around the wood burner so you can get warm and cosy and sit in front of the TV/DVD or with a good book for a quiet afternoon. When it s time to feed hungry guests underfloor heating in the kitchen keeps your toes toasty and the light fresh decor makes it a lovely space to be the designated chef. It is well-equipped with an oven and gas hob microwave fridge/freezer dishwasher and washing machine.
