A big comfy house that's perfect for active family holidays. In a lively Lakeland village near Keswick with views over Derwentwater

Come here for an escape in the school holidays and have the whole place to yourselves. It's let as a B&B the rest of the time and is an easy-living, friendly home for all ages; there's space for two families, or extra friends can come along.

Spread over three floors with even more wowser views the higher you go, you'll find a cosy sitting room with views of the lake, open fire and interesting paintings that the owners have collected over the years. The kitchen has an Aga as well as a conventional oven and nice things left for you: coffee roasted in Kendal, locally made jam and cake made by Clive.

Meals can be eaten in the pretty garden or in the arty dining room. Decide which mountain you are going to tackle - there are lots of maps and guidebooks in the house. Walk down to the marina for lots of fun.

Caroline Howarth:

Want to climb one of Britain’s favourite mountains, like Catbells? Dreaming of a beautiful mountain scene all to yourselves? Training for K2 or keen to introduce your 3 year old to the joys of fell walking – we can find the perfect walk right from the door
If you have not joined the wild swimming craze, The Lakes is the perfect place to try it. Imagine a lake swim in the evening sun. Even a quick dip on a cold day is exhilarating. Take care though: it is an extreme sport – you may be hooked for life! We are!
Did you know that Cumbria is “food capital of the world thanks to its galaxy of Michelin stars” (Times, 2019)? It's hard to choose between these special restaurants nearby, or The Fellpack – a quirky café taking Keswick by storm or just a simple cosy pub.
Fancy learning to sail, in a stunning lake with beautiful mountains around you? Want good instructors, nice hot showers and a fab café on the lakeshore? Prefer kayaking, paddleboarding or windsurfing? Look no further – that’s all just a 5 minute stroll.
What kind of festivals are you into? Jazz, beer, literary, film or mountain? Keswick has them all! As well as world-class theatre and the old cinema. The market is a great place to potter. You'll come away with arty mugs, Cumbrian chilli jam or local slate
Set in stunning scenery, combining Cumbrian mining and adventure tourism, Honister is an exciting place both for adrenaline junkies as well as young families seeking an unforgettable holiday. Bad weather? A guided tour or climbing in the mine is perfect!
