Osprey Cottage

Osprey Cottage comes ready to use. Bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi are all included, along with initial logs for the fire. The kitchen has an electric oven, hob, microwave, washing machine and fridge-freezer, so you can cook proper meals rather than rely on takeaways. Heating runs throughout via electric radiators, supplemented by the open fire in the living room—the kind of thing that makes a rainy evening feel intentional rather than inconvenient.

The layout spreads across two floors. Downstairs is open plan: living area with a smart TV, dining space and kitchen all in one, with an exposed oak beam ceiling that hints at the cottage's 17th-century origins. Upstairs holds two bedrooms (a double and a full-size bunk) and a bathroom with a bath, shower and heated towel rail. The property sleeps four and there is a cot, highchair and stairgate available if needed. One dog stays free; smoking is not permitted.

A rural farming village setting means the Farmers Arms is less than a mile away. Windows upstairs frame views across to Bassenthwaite Lake and the surrounding fells; woodland directly behind the property attracts red squirrels and birds of prey. Keswick and the wider Lake District are within reach for walking, exploring or simply changing scenery.
