The Larches

The Larches is in Thornthwaite, near Keswick. It's a detached cottage, so it's on its own. You're surrounded by woodland, part of the Whinlatter Forest area. You do sometimes see red squirrels.

It sleeps six. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms. It's got a 4 Star rating. The layout is upside down, so the main living area is upstairs. That room is long, about 27 feet, with big windows looking out towards Skiddaw. There are a few paintings by local artists on the walls.

The garden goes up the fellside. At the top there's a summer house with a deck, a table and chairs, and lights. The view from there is good, out over the Derwent marshes and the fells beyond.

You can walk or cycle straight from the door into Whinlatter Forest. Bassenthwaite Lake is nearby if you want to sail. There's an art gallery with a coffee shop in Thornthwaite village. For a pub, a restaurant, or a shop, you'd go to Braithwaite, the next village over. Keswick has everything else you'd need, and it's only a short drive.

Facilities: there's parking, wifi, a washing machine, a dishwasher, and a woodburning stove. You can bring one dog. Bedding and towels are included.
