Summary

The cottage is modern, well-equipped, and in a great location for walks and visiting the nearby town. Guests appreciated its cleanliness, views, and comfortable setup. However, issues included a small fridge and some maintenance concerns like a rotting balustrade and remote control functionality. Overall, a highly recommended stay.

The property

This is a beautiful, recently renovated two-bedroom holiday home in a most attractive rural setting on the edge of Thornthwaite village, which is three miles from the bustling, market town of Keswick. It lies in a peaceful location next to the former Swan Hotel, which has been converted to exclusive properties. The cottage benefits from extensive shared landscape gardens to the rear of the Swan. It's a great base for walkers and cyclists with good forest tracks from the doorstep, to Whinlatter Forest Park and the fells beyond. It is ideal for a family or two couples.
Walk through the hallway to find your two delightful and spacious bedrooms on the ground floor: a double bedroom with king size bed and lovely, en-suite spa bathroom and twin bedroom, which is served by a separate shower room. Walk upstairs to discover a bright and stylish open plan space full of natural light and tasteful décor. Your sitting room area is cosy and comfortable with appealing roof lines, stylish furnishings and a warming electric log stove. Take a few steps up to admire your fully fitted, modern kitchen and dining area. Walk out on to the balcony, sit for a while and start to anticipate alfresco breakfasts and memorable family evenings in this lovely space.
