The pretty rear garden catches the afternoon sun and is perfect for enjoying a glass of wine on warm, lazy summer evenings.

Cosy, comfortable, ideal location.

Cosy and comfortable, Spa Cottage is ideally located for a Lake District holiday. Well equipped and very clean, we really appreciated being able to hike straight from the front door some days. The friendly village shop opposite provides all essentials plus delicious treats. Communication with the host was excellent both before and during our stay and we will definitely return.

Great cottage with everything you could need,very well equipped. Lovely welcome pack. Views of Skiddaw from the window were amazing! Perfect location for walks from the door and to the local pub The Coledale. Only downside was that the bed was too soft for us.

Great cottage in a great location

A lovely cosy cottage (with wood burner). Good WiFi. Great location for local walks. Nice pub round the corner. Great for the odd supplies with the shop over the road. Great for pets. Road parking was fine. Everything was great in fact, except the pillows were too thick for me (I had to find a cushion and put the pillow case on that), the fridge was a bit small and the kitchen a bit small too (only space for 1 cook at a time)!

Lovely cottage

Lovely cottage in one of our favourite locations. Ideal position in the village across the road from the shop. It was on-street parking and as we stayed at Easter, the parking was a nightmare. For this reason we wouldn’t stay here again. Which is such a shame because we loved the cottage. Good quality furnishings - including duvet and bedding - and well resourced in the kitchen.

Location, location

Braithwaite is a great centre to stay in. It has a shop, coffee shop and a very good restaurant, The Ivy House, where we had two evening meals. It is good for buses to Keswick and walks. The cottage is very small and if you are self catering bring condiments oil etc, washing up liquid and towels. Lots of games to play and books to read. Bed comfortable with a good duvet and pillows. No sunshade for sitting in the garden. Owners very helpful and responsive.

Perfect in every way

Spa Cottage is perfect in every way. This was our second visit in January and won’t be our last It’s very homely and comfortable and lacks nothing with a well equipped kitchen too. It’s warm and cozy with option to put the log burner on, although the heating is wonderful Internet is fast, TV is free view so lots of choice The beds are very welcoming after a day on the Fells. The bath is deeeeeeep!! Our dogs stayed in the dining room so safely and cleanly restricted to one room with the kitchen for water. Enclosed garden assures their safely too and the nearest Fell literally up the road for early morning or later afternoon leg stretch With the shop, now with a cafe, across the road, you can nip there in your dressing gown!

Spa Cottage Review

Our second visit to Spa Cottage and it did not disappoint. Its a small, clean cottage that is ideally located to explore the Lake District. The cottage was clean and tidy upon our arrival and there was a small welcome pack which was much appreciated. Car parking was limited but we managed to get parked in front or close to our property every day. We would recommend this property and look forward to returning again some time in the future.

Perfect cottage in the perfect location

Absolutely delighted to stay in this beautiful cottage. Very high standard of cleanliness and overall quality. Communication with the owners was very easy and they were very accommodating too. Couldn’t be a better location for access to walking routes from the doorstep and beyond as well as local places to eat and drink. Handy having the village shop opposite too! Would highly recommend, we had a wonderful stay thank you! Jilly and Paul

Cosy Cottage

We found everything about this cottage delightful. The location was excellent, with plenty of walks available without the need to go out in the car. Keswick was an easy walk away, and an even easier bus ride. The village shop opened at 8.30a.m, every day, including on Sundays and didn't close until 5.30 p.m. The cottage itself was well equipped, spotlessly clean and warm - just what you needed after a long walk in the rain. Had the weather been better, we could have enjoyed drinks or meals outside in the well fenced pretty courtyard garden - as it was only the dog got to enjoy this facility. We would stay again.

This property and location exceeded our expectations. The owners have done everything to make their cottage a delightful place to stay - by the end of the week we felt as though we lived there. Little surprise then that we'd love to return for another week.
