Description
Darling How

Situated on Whinlatter pass, Darling How holiday cottage offers self catering accommodation in a large Georgian farmhouse with fantastic views of the Lakeland fells and hundreds of walks and forest bike trails right from the front door. The house has recently being renovated to a high standard to accommodate up to ten people and is an ideal place for large family gatherings and celebrations.

Whinlatter is a great starting point for hundreds of walks, either through the forest, up the fells or along the lakeshore paths of Crummock Water, Buttermere and Loweswater. The visitor centre at Whinlatter is a couple of miles away and has café, bike hire and high ropes course (Go Ape), as well as a live video camera in the Osprey nest (May-August). Keswick is just 15 minutes drive away with its bustling town centre, boating on the lake and outdoor activities.

For groceries there is a Sainsbury’s in Cockermouth (10 mins) or Booths in Keswick (15 mins). There are a couple of pubs in the village of Braithwaite (5-10 mins) or for a special occasion there is Winder Hall in Lorton (5-10 mins).

A wonderful private location on the fells but handy for Cockermouth and Keswick. Contemporary furnishings offering real comfort.
Lots to do out and about with many walks, the osprey project and attractions such as the Puzzling Place, Cars & Stars Museum and fine dining in Keswick but you won't want to tear yourselves away from such a peaceful location.
