The Ivy Cottage
Tucked into Keswick in the heart of Cumbria, The Ivy Cottage sleeps up to six and suits families or groups keen to explore the Lakes on foot. A bus stop and EV charging nearby make getting around straightforward, and Derwent Water at Crow Park is just 0.7 miles away for lakeside walks, though do note the water quality there is currently rated Poor if swimming is on your mind.

Keswick Museum & Art Gallery, Puzzling Place and The Retro Zone are all within half a mile, giving you plenty of rainy-day options close to home. For breakfast or a treat, Cornish Bakery and Bryson's Bakery are both a short stroll away, each with a five-star hygiene rating. Aspatria station, 13.6 miles out, is the nearest rail link if you're arriving by train.
