Tucked away in the northwest corner of the Lake District National Park, this beautifully decorated and comfortable home commands unparalleled views of Bassenthwaite Lake and Skiddaw.

Four generous bedrooms sleep parties of up to eight, with seriously powerful showers providing welcome relief after a long day on the fells.

Situated less than a mile from the A66 between Keswick and Cockermouth, East Cragg is a wonderful base for exploring the Lakes.

For those arriving by train, Penrith is the nearest station (c.35 mins by car), from where you can catch the X4/X5 bus, which stops at the end of the lane.
