Doddick Farm Cottages - Brackendale

Brackendale at Doddick Farm Cottages sleeps four and sits near Threlkeld and St Johns in the Vale, a good match for a small family or group keen to be close to the northern Lake District fells. The White Horse Inn is just 0.3 miles from the door, handy for an evening meal, while Threlkeld Quarry & Mining Museum is 1.6 miles away for a bit of local history. Keswick Museum & Art Gallery and the Puzzling Place are both around 5 miles off, so there's plenty to fill a day trip into Keswick. Penrith station, 10.8 miles away, is the nearest rail link, and Derwent Water at Crow Park is 5.3 miles off for a lakeside stroll, though the water quality there is currently poor. Surrounded by fells and with Keswick close by, it's a practical base for exploring this part of Cumbria.
