2 Bedroom Cottage in Thornthwaite
Nestled in the heart of Thornthwaite in the North of the Lake District, is this beautiful property dating back to the 1600s, Pen Cottage. Formerly part of the Swan Hotel, the property has been converted into a number of luxury dwellings for family and friends looking to enjoy all that this idyllic location has to offer. Pen Cottage encompasses a fresh and modern feel along with a delightful display of fine furnishings and décor with oak beams and thick walls, echoing the warmth of the original 17th century coaching inn that it once was. From the entrance porch, head straight into the fitted kitchen where you will find all the essential appliances to rustle up a hearty feast, with assistance from the electric oven, gas hob, microwave, fridge and freezer. Gather round the dining table to enjoy your home-cooked meal while discussing how you shall spend the remainder of your holiday – will it be rambling the surrounding fells or exploring the quaint streets of Keswick and Cockermouth? A couple of steps takes you into the lounge where double glass doors invite you onto the decked patio, perfect for sitting out with a glass of wine while admiring the landscaped gardens and panoramic views of Skiddaw in the distance, with the elevated position affording Pen Cottage some of the most mesmerising views in the Lake District. As the night rolls in, choose between the king-size and twin bedroom to catch your rest, each of which benefit from oak furnishings to store your personal belongings. There is also a family bathroom with a choice of a relaxing evening bath, or a quick brisk shower to freshen up before the day ahead. Avid walkers and cyclists can delight in the surrounding area with the coast-to-coast cycle path nearby, as well as Whinlatter Forest Park to explore, or challenge yourself to a hike up Skiddaw, well-worth your efforts for the beautiful vistas once you reach the peak. Take a night off cooking and treat yourself to a meal at one of the fine restaurants in the area, with the Pheasant at Bassenthwaite and Ivy House in Braithwaite being just a few examples of wonderful cuisine, whilst Keswick offers evening theatre, cinema and fabulous shopping. The northern part of the Lake District offers a wide range of areas to explore, including Derwentwater, Ullswater and Helvellyn, along with opportunities to go boating, hiking and camping. Whatever you choose to do, consider Pen Cottage for your next escape to this magnificent National Park.
