Peaceful place with a view
Wonderful cottage tucked away on the hill side with amazing views both from inside or at the top of the garden , this comfortable cottage had everything and more for us and the dogs in our favorite place in the lakes, can't wait to go back .

Hi, Craig!
Yes, Rock Lynn is a really popular property for a reason!
I mean, what's better than a wood-fired hot tub, with views like that? Rock Lynn is so cosy, grounding you in the rural, relaxing feeling of the Lake District, with added luxuries that make your stay extra special.
Shall we expect a call to book your next visit?

Perfect in every way
The cottage, its location and the superb views from it were perfect in every way. We also found the email communication and friendliness of Keswick Cottages shop staff to be exactly what one would hope from a holiday cottage letting company. We have been annual visitors to the Keswick area for over 25 years and we have now found our new "go to" cottage for our future visits. We have already rebooked for 2027!

A cottage with a view and a hot tub!
Very comfortable and well appointed bungalow with fantastic views. Lovely terrace if the weather's nice enough to sit out. And the hot tub is great, whatever the weather!
We love Braithwaite so the property was ideally located for access to the local pubs and village shop.

Thank you so much for your lovely review. It’s wonderful to hear how comfortable you felt in the bungalow and that those fantastic views—and the terrace—made your stay even more special. The hot tub really is a treat in any weather, so we’re delighted you enjoyed it.
Braithwaite has such a warm, welcoming feel, and it’s great to know the location worked perfectly for you with the pubs and village shop just a stroll away.
We’d be thrilled to welcome you back whenever you’re ready for another visit.

Hi, David!
It's great to hear that you enjoyed your trip to the Lakes with us. Rock Lynn is a detached bungalow set in an elevated position above Braithwaite village with the most fabulous views over the village towards Skiddaw, the Helvellyn range and right round to Barrow which you can enjoy from the wood-fired hot tub.

Hi Robert,
Thank you for your review. Rock Lynn in Braithwaite is the perfect base for a break in the Lake District. There is lots to do right on your door step such as fell walks or even Go Ape up at Whinlatter visitor centre. There is a bus service that runs though the village that will take you all over the Lakes so no need to use your car once you've parked up. We hope you had a fantastic holiday.

A lovely winter break at Rock Lynn
We thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay at Rock Lynn, a very well presented, comfy and cosy property in a great location with lovely views all around. Comfortable bed and good modern bathrooms and kitchen, well equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor space was also very good and would be great in the warmer weather.

Lovely relaxing break
Lovely cosy cottage. Clean, well equipped and fantastic views! Great location for walks and local pubs. The drive up to the cottage is definitely steep (hence the great views!) so not easy for our elderly dog so we used the car more than anticipated.
Oh and the welcoming bottle of Prosecco was much appreciated!
