Manesty is a bungalow built on one level in Applethwaite, a quiet spot a mile north of Keswick. The whole property is yours alone, with three bedrooms, one bathroom, and space for six guests. Everything is on the ground floor: a living room with TV and DVD player opens onto a rear garden with seating, while the kitchen has an electric cooker, dishwasher and other essentials for self-catering. The main bedroom has a double bed, the second a three-quarter double, and the third holds two single beds. A utility room contains a washer-dryer for longer stays.
The bungalow sits in an elevated position with views across to Derwentwater and the fells beyond—visible from both the lounge and the garden. You have parking for three cars on site, a bike store, and an enclosed garden. Wi-Fi, towels and bed linen are included; heating is oil-fired. The location offers peace and quiet while Keswick's shops, restaurants and attractions are a short drive away, making it convenient for exploring the Lake District without the intensity of the town itself. No smoking indoors. One pet is welcome.

What guests say
Lakeside park at the southern end of Derwent Water, with woodland, wetlands and stony beaches. The mountains provide a fantastic backdrop, with Skiddaw to the north of the lake, and the Jaws of Borrowdale to the south. Paths are mostly fairly level and well maintained, with boardwalks crossing the wetlands. A well placed bench overlooking the lake is the perfect place to sit and enjoy the scenery for a few moments. Keep a look out for bird life, it's a good place to see herons. There's public parking at Kettlewell, managed by the National Trust, on the southeast shore of Derwent Water. It's a fair walk but not too challenging.

Located on the southern shaw's of Derwent Water with views of the Skiddaw mountain range in the distance and a perfectly positioned bench to sit and observe the landscape.

There is a variety of paths, some of which would be accessible for a pram or wheelchair. There are some small streams which also provided convenient drinking spots for our dog or place to rinse off mud. The woodland is mixed mature trees, so beautiful at any time of year even on a rainy day. There are views across Derwent Water looking towards Lodore falls or over to Skiddaw in the north and Catbells to the west. Great for a relaxing stroll with clear easy paths.
