3 Bedroom Cottage in Thornthwaite

Enjoying a quiet, unspoilt rural location the Swan Hotel, a former 17th century coaching inn has been sympathetically converted into several quality apartments. On the edge of the village of Thornthwaite, within five minutes walking distance of Bassenthwaite Lake and surrounded by delightful scenery it is the ideal location for a relaxing break. Fine walking opportunities abound for all abilities with many walks from the door - from fine tops to valley rambles. A cycle way passes the door with superb cycling links to the rest of the north Lake District. There is excellent sailing and fishing to be enjoyed on Bassenthwaite Lake as well as an abundance of wildlife. The southern tip of the lake has been designated a wildlife sanctuary, and from the nearby hide guests can observe many and varied forms of wildlife on and around the lake. The famous Bassenthwaite Ospreys can frequently be seen flying overhead during the season. Swan House is served by the X5 Penrith-Keswick-Cockermouth-Workington bus service with a bus stop outside the door, enabling guests to explore the area without using their car. There is a good choice of pubs and places to eat in the area and good shopping in the historic market towns of Keswick (3 miles) and Cockermouth (7 miles).
There is ample parking and benefits from large shared grounds with pond, orangery, picnic/barbecue area and decking. Lord's Seat is a fabulous three-bedroomed apartment situated on the first floor and enjoying stunning views to the front and back. The apartment has been completed to a high standard with quality fixtures and fittings.
The property is entered via shared entrance hall and stairs. Entering the hallway there is hanging space and storage for outdoor gear. From here you find the fitted kitchen with fridge, freezer, electric oven and hob, microwave oven, washing machine and tumble dryer. The solid wood Pippy Oak units are of a high quality with granite worktops with small breakfast bar and views to Barf and Whinlatter.
Steps from the kitchen lead to the spacious, bright lounge/dining area with windows to front and back. The lounge has feature fire-place with gas fired stove, TV, DVD, CD with mp3 and i-pod docking station, comfortable leather settees, dining table and chairs.
Each of the three comfortable bedrooms enjoy views to Skiddaw and along the valley to Keswick and the mountains beyond. The master bedroom has king size sleigh bed, TV and en-suite shower room with basin and wc.
The second bedroom has twin beds and the third bedroom has a double bed. All bedrooms will be dressed in luxury linen and towels.

Summary: Our fourth time staying here. Comfortable and clean with a high standard of furnishings. Lovely views in a lovely setting. Quite a walk to the nearest pb or shop, but the bus stops just outside. I guess we will be back again, so that’s the best recommendation I can give.
