Children (and the young at heart) can spend many happy hours playing in the wood, pooh sticks from the bridge, swings, football, or cricket on the village green, feeding the ducks and chickens and watching their comical antics, or sit by the stream on the benches and just relax with a book or drink or watch the world go by.
Brook House 2 is in the heart of Bassenthwaite village in the northern region of The Lake District National Park, Cumbria, approximately 15-minute drive from the towns of Keswick and Cockermouth. Keswick is a magnet for the Lake District visitor, with Lake Derwentwater, several parks including crazy golf, mini golf and putting, all its outdoor clothing shops, cafés, restaurants, galleries, museum, cinema, theatre, brewery and more. Cockermouth, more of a ‘locals’ town has Jennings Brewery tours, Wordsworth House (the birthplace of the poet William Wordsworth), the annual food festival in September and a good selection of unique independent shops and eateries.
The cottage is an excellent base with plenty to do and many places to eat nearby in this quieter part of the Lake District, avoiding the towns and busier villages in the Lakes if you prefer. You can take walks from the door down country lanes, including 2 miles to the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake, or for the more adventurous walk to Dash Waterfalls or climb Skiddaw Mountain, the fourth highest mountain in the Lake District or some of Wainwrights other northern fells.
