About this property

A delightful country house set in the heart of Lakeland

  • Castle Rock Cottage is a delightful country house set in the stunning scenery of the English Lake District. Recently renovated to the highest standard, Castle Rock is a comfortable and convenient base for exploring the fells, lakes and villages of Lakeland. Whether you're looking for a relaxing, peaceful break, or a fun family holiday, a warm welcome awaits you at Castle Rock.
    Castle Rock Cottage is located at the heart of The Lake District, near the shores of Thirlmere. It is situated in an elevated position in the tiny quiet hamlet of The Green, Thirlmere, and has wonderful views to the south and west from the windows and garden. The cottage is a semi-detached house on two floors and has a large private garden, with outdoor eating area, and also a walled back yard. Newly renovated, it has been tastefully decorated and furnished, provided with all mod cons, and offers you the perfect venue for your explorations of Lakeland.
    Venues for walking, mountain biking, rock climbing, paragliding, boating, and many other activities are all nearby and of course the bustling local towns of Keswick, Grasmere and Ambleside are within easy reach.
    The cottage is located on a private road in the secluded valley of St John's in the Vale, yet it is just 10 minutes by car to the Lakeland hubs of Keswick and Grasmere. There are plenty of delightful walks and mountain hikes, right from the door, the beautiful lake of Thirlmere just a few minutes away, and of course all the other attractions of The Lake District are within easy reach.
