Heathfield is located in the popular Crosthwaite area of Keswick and within easy walking distance of the town centre and market square.
This 1930s property had been refurbished to a very high standard by its current owners and offers spacious and luxurious accommodation for four people and is an ideal base for friends to relax and enjoy the combination of quality accommodation in a great location.
The vibrant Market square is just a ten minute walk from the cottage, with its twice weekly, award winning, market and a great selection of cafes, bars, restaurants and shops.
The spacious lounge is a great place to relax and the dining room with a large dining table, and views of the garden, is the ideal place to socialise with friends.
For those wanting to get out and about there are numerous options for walks direct from the door from the popular walk along the old railway to Threlkeld, or take in the beautiful views across Derwantwater and Bassenthwaite from Latrigg and of course the fell walkers will walk straight out of the garden gate and head directly to Skiddaw, the Lake District's fourth highest mountain that towers over the town.
Heathfield offers a first class accommodation in a great location and is the idea base for a great holiday whatever the time of year.
