“We really enjoyed staying at Grisedale cottage and loved the location as it felt like we were nestled in the fells!”
Overall really lovely cottage with comfortable beds, sofas and good cooking facilities and would definitely recommend a stay here. Some beautiful walks nearby and cottage was extremely cosy and comfortable for a week’s stay. The only things that could have been better was that the upstairs shower didn’t work properly (only went scalding hot or cold) so we couldn’t use it. We also had an issue with the general waste bin, which was full up when we arrived at the cottage and unfortunately ...
Overall really lovely cottage with comfortable beds, sofas and good cooking facilities and would definitely recommend a stay here. Some beautiful walks nearby and cottage was extremely cosy and comfortable for a week’s stay. The only things that could have been better was that the upstairs shower didn’t work properly (only went scalding hot or cold) so we couldn’t use it. We also had an issue with the general waste bin, which was full up when we arrived at the cottage and unfortunately didn’t get collected during the week. When leaving, the neighbour had a complaint about us leaving bin bags by the general waste bin and told us to take to a waste disposal, as did the house keeper too. This wasn’t convenient as they had to be taken to Keswick and we had a full car, so maybe one to look at for future stays. Overall would recommend staying here as the above was small and didn’t get in the way of a great week in the Lakes. We very much hope to be back in the future!

The property
Set in the delightful Newlands Valley at the foot of Catbells and Causey Pike, Grisedale Cottage makes a great base for a holiday in any season.
From here you can make the most of some of the finest peaks in the Lake District and with valley rambles for easier days and plenty of places to visit by car you will never be short of something to do. For the more energetic the Newlands Adventure Centre is close by, offering a range of activities such as rock climbing, canoeing, ghyll scrambling and archery.
For a more leisurely pace take a short walk to Derwentwater (about a mile and a half) and catch the launch from the pier to sail across to Keswick or down to Grange in Borrowdale.
You can walk beside the nearby Newlands Beck,, or take a short drive to Braithwaite for the village shop and a choice of pubs.

About the location
KESWICK
Bassenthwaite 7 miles, Ullswater 16.6 miles; Cockermouth 13 miles.
Between the magnificent northern lakes of Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite, lies the village of Braithwaite. Still retaining much of its traditional appeal, the Coledale Beck runs through the village with whitewashed Lakeland cottages, two village shops and two real ale Inns each brimming with character! Between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw, there really is something for everyone. Visit Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the lake with an open-air theatre, or take a trip around the lake. Lake District Wildlife Park, Dodd Wood, Derwentwater, and Keswick with its wide range of attractions, are also within easy reach.
