Set in the hamlet of Guardhouse, close to Threlkeld and Keswick, just off the A66, it has a picturesque River Glenderamackin running through it, with peaceful countryside walks from your door.
The area is famous for spotting red squirrels, fed by the locals; these indigenous creatures are often seen scurrying through the branches and in and around the garden. Adjacent is Keswick Golf Club, so if you fancy a round while you’re away, you couldn’t be much closer. The quaint hamlet of Scales with a local pub is just ¾ mile, a 20-minute walk along a signposted footpath across fields or 1½ miles by road. The village of Threlkeld with two well-known gastro pubs offer great food and local cask ales are a 1¾ mile walk along a scenic footpath by the river. You are just 5 miles from the vibrant Lake District town of Keswick, which is brimming with great restaurants, pubs serving local craft ales, an excellent range of shopping experiences and some memorable tourist attractions. If you fancy something a bit different, then why not visit The Derwent Pencil Museum, home to the world’s largest pencil. Also within easy reach is Puzzling Place, which is full of mind-boggling optical illusions.
If you like culture, you could try the Theatre by The Lake, with its enviable position on the shores of Derwentwater, which offers award-winning performances in drama and arts. If you like walking or cycling, you are surrounded by some of the most challenging fells in the area, there are many easier walking routes for people who like sightseeing without the strain. Keswick is at the northern end of Derwentwater, one of the area’s iconic lakes, and offers a great base and starting point for your adventures. You can tick off a few of Wainwright’s 214 Lakeland Fells, including Skiddaw, Blencathra and Helvellyn within a few miles.

Great little space for a stay near beautiful keswick, cottage was located a 10-15 minute drive from the town centre & gorgous walks local throughout. Clean, tidy cottage with a great shower. Only slight issue was the kitchen was very compact so would benefit from a wooden top that could be placed over the sink to give more work top space. Some clear instructions for the oven would be great too as it was difficult to use, had to google how to use and even then couldnt get it working 100%. Overall a lovely great stay & we would stay here again x
