“The cabin was perfect, spotlessly clean and very comfortable.”

It is an ideal situation, peaceful and lovely views, but only about a 15minute walk into Keswick. The cabin had everything you would need for a holiday and a lovely bottle of wine to greet us. We will definitely be back.

“Fantastic location.”

...lodge was like a home from home. Amazing views over Skidaw and surrounding hills. A hosepipe would have been useful to clean our dogs when they got dirty..

“Lovely lodge that was perfect for 2 adults and 2 small dogs.”

Very clean and comfortable accomodation. The bath was a bonus to relax in. As was the gate on the veranda that kept our little dogs secure in the property whilst able to go in and out as they pleased. If like us you know you will have an issue keeping your pets off furniture I would advise dog owners to take 2 large throws to cover sofas and a dog crate for the bedroom. This way you can enjoy the holiday without risking any damage or mud to furniture. We covered everything. Location of accomodation to Keswick and surrounding lakes and attractions is great. Easy walk into Keswick for a chip supper. There is a lovely park in Keswick with a river for the evening stroll before bed. Overall a lovely stay...good communication with the person organising your stay. Only negative is the dishwasher was not emptied and therefore it took us ages to find the mugs.

The property

Squirrels Leap is a charming log cabin hosting the ideal spot in the great outdoors, with Keswick town centre just moments away and all the Lake District has to offer surrounding you. This lovely pine lodge is fully equipped for you and your loved one to enjoy all the delights of the area in peace and comfort, with wonderful views of the Lakeland Fells and the foothills of Skiddaw and Latrigg mountains within easy reach. When you arrive, you can unwind in the open-plan living room with a drink and admire the green space before you, the large patio doors open out onto an enclosed patio area. Choose to put on the electric fire for some extra warmth during those winter months and get together for a hot meal at the dining table. You can prepare all your meals if you wish from the well-appointed kitchen, which comes with a slimline dishwasher and a washing machine for your convenience. At the end of each evening, retire to the bedroom, providing you with fitted wardrobes and a dressing table as well as an adjoining bathroom, which can also be accessed off from the kitchen. Enjoy a luxurious hot bath before bed or a refreshing shower, whichever you may prefer. Those long summer evenings will welcome chilled drinks out on the patio where you can listen to the sounds of nature and truly escape from the world a little. Each day you are here can be filled with walking and hiking should you desire, with many routes leading right from the doorstep. You can saunter into Keswick and find many things to do, including visiting the local shops and pubs, some excellent parks and even the Pencil Museum. Derwentwater is worth a visit to admire the scenery and walks there, as well as Ullswater and Aira Force Waterfall, offering the perfect setting for nature observing. If you like skiing, the Lake District is perfect for a winter visit and in summer you might want to head over to Whitehaven for its 17th century harbour or visit St. Bees Head to view England’s only cliff-nesting seabird colony. On a clear day you can even see out as far at the Isle of Man from here. Choose a restful break in the Lake District with Squirrels Leap as a base, you won’t be short for wonderful days out making memories with your other half.
