Holly Cottage is a charming, four bedroom, lakeland stone cottage ideally situated in a very desirable location close to the main street. Tastefully decorated throughout and well equipped, it is normally let on a weekly basis but short breaks may be available in the low season.
Keswick-on-Derwentwater is an attractive and picturesque market town at the heart of the Northern Lakes, making an ideal base from which to explore the breathtaking scenery of the Lake District National Park or beyond to the Solway coast or Hadrian's wall. The peace and tranquility of this beautiful area can be enjoyed whatever time of the year you visit.
The 4000-year-old Stone Circle of Castlerigg lies to the east and overlooks Keswick in its lovely valley setting, nestling neatly between the massive peak of Skiddaw and the calm of Derwentwater. Early lead mining, quarrying and the growth of pencil manufacture have all played their part in a long and often dramatic history.
Though small in size, Keswick offers a wide range of indoor and outdoor attractions for the visitor. Most of these are within a five minute walk of Holly Cottage and include the Cumberland Pencil Museum; 'Cars of the Stars' housing authentic James Bond cars among others; Keswick Victorian Museum and Art Gallery; The Teapottery; Hope Park; Fitz Park; Friars Crag; The 'state of the art' Theatre by the Lake; the stylish 1920's Alhambra Cinema; Indoor Leisure Pool; Indoor Climbing Centre; Derwentwater Launches.
It is currently the only place in England where you can see our native red squirrels and Ospreys in their natural wild habitat.
