This 2-bedroom cottage is a single-storey ground-floor property sleeping four guests in the village of Grange near Keswick in Cumbria. This home sits in the Borrowdale valley with mountain views from every room. Maiden Moor overlooks the garden and Grange Fell is visible from the double bedroom.

The location puts you right in walking country. Castle Crag is a short walk away and the Bowder Stone sits just one mile south. Buses run to Keswick on a timetable and a lake launch operates throughout the day. The area is rich in birdlife and you might spot red squirrels.

Inside you'll find two bedrooms: one double and one twin. The double bedroom has been redecorated with plenty of storage. There's a family bathroom with shower over the three-quarter-length bath plus a separate WC. The lounge-diner has an open fire and the kitchen includes an electric cooker with oven, grill and hob plus microwave and fridge-freezer.

The Methodist Chapel (300 yards away, 2 minutes) houses The Borrowdale Story with memorabilia dating back to the 1500s. Honister Slate Mine (6 miles, 15 minutes) offers tours. St Andrews Church in Stonethwaite (2.5 miles, 8 minutes) displays mining history.

This stay works brilliantly for walkers and families wanting a base in Borrowdale. Off-road parking for two cars makes arrival easy.
