Manor Cottage sits in Portinscale, a pretty lakeside village less than a mile from Derwentwater Marina and just one mile from Keswick in Cumbria. This spacious property sleeps eight guests and welcomes up to three dogs. Two king-size bedrooms and a bunk room with four adult-size beds provide flexible sleeping arrangements for families or groups.

The location puts you within walking distance of Derwentwater where you can swim or kayak from your doorstep. A 10-mile walk circles the lake with picnic spots and cafes along the route. Theatre by the Lake operates in Keswick. Keen walkers can tackle Catbells, Skiddaw or the Coledale Horseshoe.

Inside you'll find a living room with wood burner and exposed wooden beams. The kitchen-diner seats eight around the dining table and includes an electric oven, induction hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher and washer/dryer. Three bathrooms serve the property including an ensuite shower room.

An enclosed lawn at the rear provides secure space for dogs. Front and rear patios offer outdoor seating. Manor Cottage works perfectly for families seeking easy access to the lakes.
