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.

A lovely cosy cottage (with wood burner). Good WiFi. Great location for local walks. Nice pub round the corner. Great for the odd supplies with the shop over the road. Great for pets. Road parking was fine. Everything was great in fact, except the pillows were too thick for me (I had to find a cushion and put the pillow case on that), the fridge was a bit small and the kitchen a bit small too (only space for 1 cook at a time)!

Great cottage with everything you could need,very well equipped. Lovely welcome pack. Views of Skiddaw from the window were amazing! Perfect location for walks from the door and to the local pub The Coledale. Only downside was that the bed was too soft for us.

Lovely cottage in one of our favourite locations. Ideal position in the village across the road from the shop. It was on-street parking and as we stayed at Easter, the parking was a nightmare. For this reason we wouldn’t stay here again. Which is such a shame because we loved the cottage. Good quality furnishings - including duvet and bedding - and well resourced in the kitchen.

10/10

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.

Spa Cottage is perfect in every way. This was our second visit in January and won’t be our last It’s very homely and comfortable and lacks nothing with a well equipped kitchen too. It’s warm and cozy with option to put the log burner on, although the heating is wonderful Internet is fast, TV is free view so lots of choice The beds are very welcoming after a day on the Fells. The bath is deeeeeeep!! Our dogs stayed in the dining room so safely and cleanly restricted to one room with the kitchen for water. Enclosed garden assures their safely too and the nearest Fell literally up the road for early morning or later afternoon leg stretch With the shop, now with a cafe, across the road, you can nip there in your dressing gown!

Cosy and comfortable, Spa Cottage is ideally located for a Lake District holiday. Well equipped and very clean, we really appreciated being able to hike straight from the front door some days. The friendly village shop opposite provides all essentials plus delicious treats. Communication with the host was excellent both before and during our stay and we will definitely return.

Compact but has everything you need with comfort. Everything worked. Great location. Quiet. Parking is tight, but we always got a spot.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.
