A stylish Lake District retreat, this attractive cottage nestles in an enviable position within the Lake District’s colourful Keswick. Sleeping eight guests, the four-bedroom property overlooks the River Greta, approximately 0.5 miles from the bustling centre of the popular market town. Stroll around independent shops, ponder in cafes for afternoon tea and head on down to Derwentwater to take a cruise out on the water. Enjoy gentle shore walks or attempt the entire 10-mile loop of the lake. Hire bicycles and head out along the 3-mile Keswick to Threlkeld Trail, which runs along an old railway route and is also great for walking. More serious hikers might like to attempt Skiddaw, 5 miles away, with its panoramic views. Venture 1 mile to Derwent Water Marina to hire rowing boats or kayaks, and book tickets for your party to see a show at the Theatre by the Lake.

Return from your exhilarating hikes and visits to Lakeland beauty spots to this welcoming abode. Enter the cottage via the rear door beside the raised deck. Step inside to find yourselves in the boot room area, where you can hang jackets and tuck shoes and bags out of the way. There is a handy family shower room just here too. Make your way into the gorgeous lounge, which has elegant style and exposed beams, to unwind. Stoke up the wood burner in here on crisp autumn evenings and sink back into a sofa or soft chair with a cup of tea or a glass of wine. Read a book, watch the Smart TV or play a family game. The kitchen/diner, where sunshine streams in on bright days, is another fantastic space for sharing this quality time away together. Find everything you need in this immaculate room, which has a handy central island to help you prepare your holiday meals. Gather round the table at the end for your celebrations. Also downstairs is a twin bedroom and a cosy snug, with another Smart TV. Head on up to the first floor to a small landing leading to the second twin bedroom and two inviting king-sized beds. The impressive family bathroom is also located up here.

Enjoy the fabulous outside space at this cottage, where you can relax in the sunshine and dine under the stars. The garden, which runs the full length of the property, also features well-established shrubs with colourful blooms. There is garage storage for bikes and private parking for up to four cars.

Fantastic stay in Solway. The cottage was pristine and in a beautiful location with views of surrounding mountains. Comfy beds and hot showers. Very spacious too with a useful boot room. Would definitely stay again.
