Field House

Field House is a picturesque, 400-year-old cottage resting in the Borrowdale valley near Keswick, Cumbria. This traditional and characterful property boasts a hot tub, woodburning stove, barbecue, original fixtures, and open-plan living space – with ample off-road parking available, Field House is idyllic for couples retreat to a peaceful Lake District getaway.

Step into your new haven and back in time to the 1600s, featuring original wooden beams and heated stone floors throughout the open-plan living space. Gather around the fire to plan your next day and whip up a delicious dinner in the kitchen space, equipped with range electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge, and freezer, then dig in at a rustic dining table for four.

After a day of adventuring on the hills, why not sizzle up some supper on the barbecue and dine alfresco in the outdoor area, where you can take in the views across the majestic Cumbrian Fells. When the evening chill starts to draw in, pop your plates in the dishwasher and hop in the hot tub for a warm, bubbling front-row seat to admire the sun sinking behind Maiden Moor.

Freshen up in the shower room before cosying up with a film on the Smart TV, then welcome sleep in a double or four-poster king-size bed. The winding country lanes offer walking and cycling opportunities and, for the more energetic, the nearby Fells of Catbells, High Crags, Scafell, Skiddaw, Glaramara and the famous Great Gable.

Water pursuits at nearby Derwentwater, with equipment available to hire in Portinscale, one mile north, make this an ideal location for those who enjoy an active lifestyle. The tranquil setting is only a short drive from the delights of Keswick where you will find a selection of amenities and attractions including the Derwent Pencil Museum, Puzzling Place and the Castlerigg Stone Circle.
