Harriet's Hideaway

Thornthwaite, North West England

Harriet's Hideaway
Harriet's Hideaway is a cottage in the quiet village of Thornthwaite in Cumbria, sleeping four and well suited to those wanting a peaceful Lake District base. It's near a bus stop and has EV charging nearby, while Aspatria station is 11.1 miles away for anyone arriving by train.

Derwent Water at Crow Park is 2.9 miles off for lakeside walks, though the water quality there is currently rated poor. The same distance takes you into Keswick, where you'll find The Retro Zone, Derwent Pencil Museum and Puzzling Place for a family day out, plus Bryson's Bakery and the Oddfellows Arms, both five-star hygiene rated, for something to eat.
