Braithwaite Cottages
Located mid way between Bassenthwaite Lake and Derwentwater makes this a popular choice with visitors looking for a quieter base to enjoy a holiday away from the hustle and bustle of Keswick only 2.5 miles away.
The village has a shop with tea room, restaurant and 2 pubs all serving food, but for more choice the market town of Keswick is a short drive away with shops, pubs, restaurants, takeaways, attractions and a theatre.
The area is perfect for those who enjoy an active holiday, being at the base of Whinlatter Forest, the entrance to the Newlands Valley and popular Wainwrights including Grisedale Pike, Barrow, Outerside, Causey Pike and the Coledale Round are all on the doorstep.
Whinlatter Forest is home to Go Ape, mountain bike trails, Gruffalo trails and a number of children’s outdoor play areas providing hours of entertainment for young and old alike.
