The view that tells you what to do: hike the hills, sail the waters, canoe, and climb. More mild than wild? Try golf, Theatre by the Lake, or a tour of the Keswick Brewery.
You can do some wonderful walks straight from the house, or jump in the car and head off on the most scenic tours you can imagine, or take out a mountain bike or electric bike from E-Venture Bikes and cycle around Derwentwater.
There’s a cricket and croquet sets available, along with footballs to enjoy in our extensive grounds. And there’s plenty of country side pursuits available nearby too, including: clay pigeon shooting, archery, off-road driving, go karting, quadbiking, and paintballing.
Make the most of being near the lake and get out on the water with kayaking, sailing and canoeing all available from Derwentwater Marina, only a short drive from the house.
You can also sample some fine cuisine at a local gastro-pub or restaurant. The Pheasant Inn (Keswick) is only a couple of minutes walk from the house, or The Chalet Restaurant, which is informal yet stylish, is a mere 5 minute drive. Keswick offers great dining out. For lunch and lighter bites we recommend The Lingholm Kitchen and Treeby & Bolton. Other favorites for a special occasion are The Pheasant at Basenthwaite Lake, or The Cottage in the Wood, Whinlatter. We recommend booking.
