There are also two cafes and a Village Shop. Explore the Northern Fells with great walking and mountain biking on your doorstep, as well as the Go Ape and visitor centre at Whinlatter. The bustling market town of Keswick is just 2 miles away, with its superb selection of shops, attractions, and Lake Derwentwater all within easy reach. Combine this with the magnificent surroundings of Lakes and mountains and here you have found the ideal location for your stay. The nearest bus stop is just a 5-minute walk from the property, making is super easy to explore the area.
Oak Leaf, although the smaller of the two 1 bedroomed properties, provides an ideal base for a couple to get away and relax. Recently refurbished to the highest standard with lovely fell views from the bedroom. There is a small patio with table and chairs.

A good little cottage, only let down by some basic maintenance issues and lack of kitchen equipment, a bit of a shame as fantastic location and views from here. Has the potential to be so much more with the right basic kit.
