4, Peartree Cottage - Zwei Schlafzimmer Haus, Schläft 4

Amid a beautiful community of white-painted cottages at the foot of the Whinlatter Pass, this two-bedroom abode makes an excellent base for outdoor adventure. Enjoying views over Bassenthwaite Lake and the surrounding fells, Braithwaite village serves up fabulous walks from the doorstep, including routes onto Barrow Fell, Causey Pike and the Coledale Horseshoe. Above Braithwaite, the remains of Force Crag Mine – the last mineral mine to be worked in the Lake District – have been lovingly restored, while 2 miles away, Whinlatter Forest offers lots of opportunity for walking and mountain biking, with play areas and tree-top adventure Go Ape for thrill-seekers. Ensuring an effortless self-catering stay, Braithwaite has a convenience store plus a choice of friendly pubs and other eateries, while the bustling market town of Keswick – home of the Cumberland Pencil Museum – sits at the top of Derwentwater, just 2 miles east. At the southern end of the lake, Borrowdale (9 miles) is a must-see. For contrast, head to Georgian Cockermouth (11 miles), a gateway between the western lakes and the Solway Coast. With a friendly shop just metres away and fabulous fell views from the doorstep, this pretty property puts you at the heart of village life.
Just inside the front door, the vestibule has space for boots and coats before you head further in, where a welcoming lounge/diner awaits. Stretch out on a comfortable L-shaped sofa or curl up in an armchair for a chilled-out evening in front of the TV. The wood burner will give a warming glow after dark, while table lamps add to the ambiance. At the far end of this room, the dining suite sits conveniently close to the kitchen, which has contemporary styling and all the chef’s must-haves. A door leads to the rear garden. When it’s time to sleep, stairs from the living room ascend to two restful bedrooms, one with a king-size bed and the other with twin beds. A modern shower room completes the comfort for all.
You’ll enjoy lovely scenery from both the front and back gardens of this inviting terraced home. A traditional stone wall forms a boundary between the front garden and the lane beyond, while shrubs and containers provide seasonal plant interest. At the rear, the enclosed garden is a patio-style extension to your living space, complete with outdoor furniture.
