About this property
This bespoke luxury cabin is nestled in a valley with stunning views across to Blencathra. It sits on a working farm with direct access to the Threlkeld to Keswick old railway line, a 3-mile-long footpath and cycleway. You can head for Threlkeld village (1 mile) and enjoy a drink and pub lunch or head into Keswick (4 miles), take in a show at Theatre on the Lake or go down to Derwentwater (7 miles). Take the regular launch service across the lake, hop on and off to explore the various landing stages, including the waterfall at Lodore (8 miles), the much-photographed Ashness Bridge (8 miles) and the walled garden that inspired Beatrix Potter at Lingholm (7 miles).
As you walk up to this wooden cabin, the location will leave you breathless and you can’t help but feel the love that has gone into building this cabin; every little detail has been carefully thought out. The open-plan bedroom with a king-size bed, Egyptian cotton sheets and embroidered robes offer you a touch of luxury. The bed looks towards the floor-to-ceiling bi-folding doors which have the most magnificent views across Hellvelyn and Blencathra. There are comfy seats at the end of the bed to curl up and read a good book, play a game of cards and enjoy a glass of wine! The wet room is located at the rear of the cabin and has a feature slate wall and a rainfall shower. There is a small kitchen area which is ideal to prepare breakfast or a light bite, but the village pubs in the area serve great food so you may prefer to venture out on an evening.
Step down from the cabin out onto your private patio with seating, fire pit/BBQ and a wood-fired hot tub. This truly is a special place to sit quietly in the evening and enjoy the dark skies and star gazing with a glass of bubbly.

Absolutely perfect. Couldn't have chosen a better place for a break. The accommodation was very well presented and we had everything we needed. The location is beautiful. We had a personal friendly welcome when we arrived. We will definitely be returning.

Amazing experience, spectacular views. Accommodation was very modern and spotlessly clean with most our needs taken care of and absolutely ideal for a couple to relax. The owner was there to greet us and gave loads of local information as it as it was our 1st time at the lakes and was just a phone call away if we needed her, which was handy when a sheep broke loose and ended up outside our cabin, within minutes someone was round with the dog shepherding it back. Yes we was on a farm and it was supa.
