Grisedale Cottage is a delightful holiday home located in the picturesque village of Stair, near Braithwaite in Cumbria. This charming, three-bedroom cottage, part of a row of former mill workers' homes dating back to the 19th century, has been enhanced with a modern extension. It offers a perfect retreat for families or couples, accommodating up to six guests. The cottage is ideally situated in a walker’s paradise, nestled at the foot of Catbells and Causey Pike, and is close to some of the most stunning peaks in the Lake District, with easy access to the scenic Newlands Valley.
Upon entering Grisedale Cottage, guests are welcomed into a hallway that provides space to store outdoor gear. The inviting dual-aspect sitting room features a charming bay window, original ceiling beams, and a cozy multi-fuel stove, creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Just a few steps up lead to the well-lit kitchen and dining area, also benefiting from dual aspects, which enhances the cheerful ambiance of the space. A door from the kitchen opens onto a patio that overlooks the lovely wooded gardens, providing a serene outdoor space to unwind amidst mature trees and shrubs.
The accommodation includes three comfortable bedrooms: a king-size double, a standard double, and a twin, all generously sized to ensure a restful stay. A modern family bathroom is equipped with both a bath and a separate shower, catering to the needs of guests. For those seeking adventure, the nearby Newlands Adventure Centre offers a variety of activities including rock climbing, canoeing, and archery, while the breathtaking views from the summit of Catbells promise a rewarding hiking experience.
In addition to outdoor pursuits, visitors can enjoy leisurely strolls to local attractions such as the Swinside Inn, known for its inviting bar meals along the riverside path. A short drive or a three-and-a-half-mile walk leads to the vibrant market town of Keswick, where guests can explore an array of specialty shops, restaurants, and cafes. The stunning Derwentwater, just a ten-minute walk from the town center, adds to the charm of the area, making Grisedale Cottage an ideal base for exploring the natural beauty and cultural offerings of the Lake District.
