Derwent Lea - Detach Holiday Home Overlooking Derwent Valley
House with 4 Bedrooms, Sleeps 8, Garden
Derwent Lea offers very gracious living for up to eight people, ideal for two families sharing, a holiday with the grandparents, or a group of friends.
It is a detached house, surrounded by a lovely garden, in which children and pets can play in safety, and has views over the Derwent valley and up into Borrowdale and Newlands valleys that will take your breath away.
Applethwaite itself is a very quiet, charming hamlet with no shops or pub, -but the delights of Keswick and Lake Derwentwater are only a mile and a half away. There you will find shops of every hue, a world class theatre, a cinema, and scores of pubs and restaurants.

The lounge looks out at the wonderful view, and is comfortably furnished with a coal fire, colour television and DVD. The fitted kitchen is well equipped, with built-in electric cooker, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble drier and of course all the usual kitchen equipment.
The dining room shares the fabulous view, and eight of you can eat here in comfort; and it also has a second TV in case of disputes! On a sunny afternoon or evening there is nowhere better than the the patio, with a gin and tonic and the world waiting to be put to rights, while the children play in the big garden.
Derwent Lea upstairs has four bedrooms. The master bedroom has a king size bed and again looks out on that view. Another also has a double bed, the third two single beds and the fourth a set of full sized, very solid bunks. Sheets and duvets are provided throughout, but you do need to bring your own towels.
The upstairs bathroom features bath, washbasin and WC and a very useful airing cupboard. A second bathroom downstairs has a WC, washbasin and shower. There are also a cot, high chair and iron.
Heating: Oil fired central heating keeps the whole house snug even in deepest Winter. The price includes oil, electricity, coal and linen.

Local activities in and around Applethwaite, North
Keswick is a lovely Lakeland town, with outdoor shops, a theatre, a cinema and of course Lake Derwentwater. Here you can rent all sorts of boat or just walk alongside the lake.
There are thousands of walks of every type, from the gentlest to the most taxing. Keswick is noted as 'the adventure capital' of England, and there are opportunities to hire equipment and training for sailing, canoeing, mountain biking, horse riding, quad-biking, paragliding... any sport you like, really.
There are also lots of places to visit: castles, stately homes, museums, exhibitions, the Whinlatter forestry centre and 'Go-Ape' high wire course, and the famous Ospreys on Bassenthwaite Lake. You could easily spend a fortnight here and do no walking, if that's your choice! We can't promise every day will be sunny, but we can promise that even if it rains there will be lots of things to do.
