Overview
Property code: OC-A32049

Tucked away in the peaceful village of Caldbeck, this stone-built cottage is the perfect base for couples, friends or small families looking to explore the quieter side of the Lake District. With a welcoming pub, a well-stocked village shop and a tempting cafe within 500 metres, you’ll have everything you need close to home. The village is surrounded by a network of walking and cycling routes, with scenic trails winding through rolling hills, woodlands and riverside paths right from your doorstep. For a day out, head to beautiful Bassenthwaite Lake, 9 miles away, where you can see ospreys or enjoy a gentle lakeside walk. The lively town of Keswick is 16.5 miles away, boasting shops, restaurants, and outdoor adventures around Derwentwater. Alternatively, venture 16 miles to the Solway Coast with its wide sandy beaches and peaceful nature reserves.

Step into this immaculate cottage and straight into the open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area – an inviting space that’s as practical as it is stylish. The kitchen is sleek, contemporary and fully equipped for whipping up anything from lazy breakfasts to celebratory dinners, while the lounge offers plush sofas, a Smart TV and the comforting glow of a wood burner for cosy evenings in. Upstairs, you'll find two generous king-size bedrooms – one with a Smart TV, the other with a TV and lovely garden views stretching out towards the majestic peak of High Pike. A handy utility cupboard with a washing machine is also tucked away upstairs. After a day of walking, choose between a refreshing shower room or a bathroom with a roll-top bath.

Outside, the charm continues in the pretty, enclosed garden. Enjoy morning coffee or evening drinks on the furnished patio, or head to the lower lawn, where additional seating lets you unwind and take in peaceful views over the river and across to High Pike. To top it off, a dedicated parking space opposite the cottage ensures a hassle-free stay from arrival.Edit Description

What a thoroughly lovely place to stay! The cottage has been very thoughtfully renovated by the owners and its clear how much love and attention has gone into the project. Everything felt high-quality, well-finished, solid and cosy. It really was a home-from-home! Often when staying in self-catering accommodation you find yourself doing without Read morecertain home-comforts during your stay, but thats not the case at Archway Cottage - the hosts really have thought of everything. New, modern appliances throughout, a twin-drawer air-fryer in the kitchen, a wood-burning stove in the lounge (including a basket of logs), torches/nightlights in each room, blankets by the sofa (not that we were ever cold), plenty of crockery and cutlery so youre not having to wash-up every five minutes, a washing machine and airer tucked away in a utility room upstairs, so much kitchen equipment that even the most ambitious chef/baker wont be hampered and even a stock of basic supplies like kitchen foil, salt, pepper, spices and oil alongside the usual tea, coffee and sugar. We were welcomed with a beautiful basket of goodies, including biscuits, home-made jam and a bottle of wine, plus a bottle of fresh, local milk in the fridge. There was even a posy of fresh flowers in each room, which I guess were probably from the beautifully-maintained garden (make sure you spend some time on the patio at the bottom of the garden to enjoy the sound of the river and the beautiful scents from the herbs and flowers in the garden). We were fortunate to be the first guests to stay in Archway Cottage (May 2025) and we were able to thoroughly relax knowing that everything we needed was nearby and catered for. We cant wait to go back again! Hide
