Brasscam
Brasscam is a cottage tucked into the fells around Buttermere and Borrowdale, sleeping up to six in the heart of the Lake District. It's a good base if you're travelling by electric car, with EV charging nearby, and Windermere station is within reach for those arriving by rail.

Museum and gallery fans have plenty to explore, with Puzzling Place, The Retro Zone and Keswick Museum & Art Gallery all a short drive away. Derwent Water at Crow Park is the nearest beach, though be aware the water quality there is currently rated poor, so it's better suited to a scenic walk than a swim.
