The location is absolutely killer. Sitting proudly with views across Derwentwater lake and the surrounding fells, you're literally across the road from the marina. Keswick is just a short walk away for all your shopping and pub needs. The outdoor spaces are just as impressive as inside - multiple dining and lounging areas, plus a quirky Arctic wooden lodge with an indoor BBQ for those typical Lake District "sunny" days.
The main house offers 8 bedrooms (6 king-size ensuite, 2 twin ensuite) while the adjacent lodge provides 3 more (2 king-size ensuite, 1 double). You'll find two games rooms with pool tables, a cinema room, hot tub and two living rooms. The massive dining table seats 16 comfortably - finally, Christmas dinner without someone stuck at the kids' table!
The Lake District's best attractions surround you. Try hiking Troutbeck Tongue, golfing at Windermere (15 miles/30 mins), or simply exploring Keswick's shops and restaurants (1 mile/5 mins). The hot tub in its covered courtyard is the perfect spot to soak tired muscles after a day of adventures.
Derwentwater House is ideal for multi-generational gatherings, celebrations, or friends who want luxury without compromise. The beers in the welcome pack are just the cherry on top!
