Oak Lea
Oak Lea is in Thornthwaite, up in the Whinlatter area. It's a semi-detached cottage, painted white. You're right on the edge of the woods here. The road ends at the house.
It sleeps four. Two bedrooms, one bathroom. It's a 3 Star place, so it's comfortable and clean. Nothing too fancy. The garden is split-level with a stream running through the bottom part. The views from the windows are good, you can see Skiddaw.
You're in a hamlet called Seldom Seen. There are only three houses. It's very quiet. You can walk or take a mountain bike straight out from the door onto the forest trails. If you've got binoculars, you can sometimes see ospreys from the cottage.
The nearest shop and pub are about two miles away, in Braithwaite or Keswick. Keswick is about a ten minute drive. That's where you'll find the big supermarket, pubs, and the lake.
You're basically at the foot of Whinlatter Forest Park. It's good for walking and cycling. For a day out, the Whinlatter Visitor Centre is close by. The National Trust places in Borrowdale are within half an hour. Same with the western shores of Ullswater.
Inside, there's a woodburning stove, which is nice in the evening. There's WiFi, a TV, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. Bedding and towels are included. You can park right there. We allow up to two dogs.
