Spa Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 3 guests in 2 bedrooms

As you enter the cottage you will find yourself in the porch area, where there is space for coats, boots and walking gear.

To the front of the cottage is the lounge, which is full of character and comes with two seater leather sofa, chair, TV, and a lovely warming stove perfect for curling up on winter evenings. There is a selection of books and DVD's on the shelves for guests to enjoy.

The dining room separates lounge from the kitchen, which is supplied with cooker, hob, microwave and dishwasher. Under the stairs will be found the washing machine, and there is a tumble drier in the outhouse.

Upstairs to the front the master bedroom has a king-size bed and catches the morning sun, while the rear bedroom has a comfortable single bed. Both bedrooms will be made up with luxury crisp white bed linen and towels for guest arrival.

The bathroom is also upstairs and has a bath to soak tired muscles after a day of exploring the Lakes, there is a hand-held shower head over the bath, WC and basin.

The pretty rear garden catches the afternoon sun and is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine on warm, lazy summer evenings.

The historic Village Shop is a must-visit conveniently situated across the road, selling everything from household essentials, to craft beers, take-away snacks/drinks, locally baked bread and cakes, and gifts to take home for family.Braithwaite is a pretty Lakeland village situated at the foot of the Whinlatter Pass, less than 3 miles from Keswick. Tucked below Grisedale Pike, the village is the perfect base for exploring on foot the hills forming the Coledale Horseshoe, or on a bike the mountain trails of the Whinlatter Forest.

Bassenthwaite Lake and Derwent are within 5 minutes and the Valleys of Borrowdale, Buttermere and the Whinlatter Forest (Go Ape/Mountain bike trails) are close by. There are three pubs in Braithwaite village, The Coledale, The Ruddings and The Royal Oak, all within walking distance from the cottage.

Complimentary Wifi is included for guest convenience.

There is unrestricted on-street parking in front of the cottage.

Braithwaite is a great centre to stay in. It has a shop, coffee shop and a very good restaurant, The Ivy House, where we had two evening meals. It is good for buses to Keswick and walks. The cottage is very small and if you are self catering bring condiments oil etc, washing up liquid and towels. Lots of games to play and books to read. Bed comfortable with a good duvet and pillows. No sunshade for sitting in the garden. Owners very helpful and responsive.

Lovely, warm and well presented cottage.
This was a lovely, warm and well presented cottage in a great location. The only downside was that there was a hand held shower over the bath, no stand up shower. Other than this, it was excellent.

Cosy Cottage
We found everything about this cottage delightful. The location was excellent, with plenty of walks available without the need to go out in the car. Keswick was an easy walk away, and an even easier bus ride. The village shop opened at 8.30a.m, every day, including on Sundays and didn't close until 5.30 p.m. The cottage itself was well equipped, spotlessly clean and warm - just what you needed after a long walk in the rain. Had the weather been better, we could have enjoyed drinks or meals outside in the well fenced pretty courtyard garden - as it was only the dog got to enjoy this facility. We would stay again.

Fabulous place, looking forward to staying again.
This property and location exceeded our expectations. The owners have done everything to make their cottage a delightful place to stay - by the end of the week we felt as though we lived there. Little surprise then that we'd love to return for another week.

Lovely place, we felt very comfortable and at home. Ideal location and enjoyed the log fire, I would recommend it. Would have preferred more hot water in the evenings for x2 hot baths or improved shower head pressure.

Excellent location
Cottage is ideally located to explore Keswick and the surrounding area, excellently equipped and on street parking outside property. Well stocked village shop opposite. 2.5 miles walk into Keswick or you can park and walk in free parking less than 1 mile from Keswick. Outside seating area, at the rear for quietness, a bench at the front for people watching. Several walks on your doorstep so you can leave the car parked up for the day!

Fantastic Cottage in the Lakes
Superbly situated in the pretty village of Braithwaite. Amazing walks on our doorstep. Lovely cottage decorated to a high standard. Nice enclosed garden to the rear which was ideal for sitting out with our dogs in the morning/evenings. Would thoroughly recommend.

Gem in the Lakes
Spectacular village location. Surrounded by peaks, characterful and very well equipped cottage...... We had a great week using Spa cottage as our base. The cottage has all a couple away for a week needs. Kitchen is small but a mix of eating in and eating out suited us fine, and it had all the equipment we needed when we did cook. Always managed a parking spot right outside the cottage each evening which was great. Met Kirsty in the village and she and Chris were excellent hosts. A bottle of wine, lemon drizzle cake and fresh milk in the fridge on our arrival was a delightful touch. We enjoyed the wine in the sun trap garden in the evenings. Highly recommended.

Comfortable cottage
This was a well placed cottage near all amenities. It was very comfortable and the heating was efficient. When we head a minor problem of a drawer sticking the owner came round promptly to fix it. I think the oven could could perhaps do with updating but it wasn’t a major problem

Fantastic break at Spa Cottage
Set in a great location, village shop directly across the road with 3 pubs close by. Good base for access to local walks. Spa Cottage has all the amenities you would expect and has been maintained to a high standard. Good communication with the owners before and during the stay. Really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely recommend this property to all.

this is a great little place to stay : pretty cottage. pretty village. If we had to come up with any shortcomings, I would say the storage heater in dining room doesn't seem to work well and if you are not eating out there isnt a lot of food storage space, but these are very small matters in comparison to the pleasure of staying.

Absolutely delighted to stay in this beautiful cottage. Very high standard of cleanliness and overall quality. Communication with the owners was very easy and they were very accommodating too. Couldn’t be a better location for access to walking routes from the doorstep and beyond as well as local places to eat and drink. Handy having the village shop opposite too!
