    Description

    The Duck House is the quintessential rural retreat from which to immerse yourself in the splendour of the Lake District. Perfectly situated in the picturesque village of Braithwaite, you will be ideally placed for exploring the multitude of local attractions, whilst enjoying the quiet countryside idyll in this homely and inviting bungalow.

    As you enter there is a spacious hallway, opening up to a large bright triple-aspect living and dining room, complete with a traditional wood-burning stove in the fireplace, and plenty of space to sit and relax after a long day of adventures. The large dining table offers ample room to serve up a feast for all the family, and is easily accessible from the kitchen.

    Being in a modern country style with the work surfaces finished in local green slate, the generously sized kitchen is very well-equipped. With full size fridge and freezer, a dishwasher, ceramic electric hob and full oven, you have everything you need to easily make the family’s favourite cuisine at any time, whilst the breakfast bar complete with stools offers additional seating if needed. There is also a further utility cupboard with washing machine, tumble dryer and airing rack.

    On through the kitchen you will find a bright and welcoming sun room, which has double doors opening out onto the patio with views across the garden and onto the hills beyond. Nicely furnished with rattan table and chairs, this makes a perfect space for your morning coffee whilst you make plans for the day.

    The bedrooms are all light, airy and spacious with ample storage. The master bedroom has a king size bed, wall-mounted television for that holiday lie-in, and a modern en-suite bathroom with a smart shower enclosure, glass-surround basin, and toilet. The second bedroom has zip-link twin beds - normally made up as one king-size bed, although you can request twin beds if required. The third bedroom has one full size single bed.
    The main family bathroom, is fully tiled, and offers a bath complete with mains shower over, basin and toilet.
    There is high speed broadband internet connection available.

    Outside, there is a very well-proportioned garden, with a sunny aspect, multiple features of interest and stunning views out across the fells. There is a large patio which can be accessed either through double sliding doors from the main living room or from the sun room. There are two sets of wooden table and chairs to seat four and two respectively, offering the opportunity to dine al fresco in the summer months.

    A natural stream known as Chaplin’s Beck flows through the garden, often complete with ducks paddling along, giving the house its’ name. There are also beautiful planters and borders, making it a colourful and pretty place to sit and soak in the views whilst listening to the murmur of the water.

    Please note that the garden is not enclosed from the road nor the stream, and as such children must be closely supervised at all times.
    The village of Braithwaite offers many amenities, including a local shop, a tea room, excellent pubs, and multiple glorious valley walks right from the doorstep.

    Only 2 miles away is the picturesque market town of Keswick, where you will find various café’s, independent shops and deli’s.

    The surrounding area offers breath-taking scenery of the north-western Lake District, with Braithwaite being at the foot of the Newland’s Valley, and the well-known Buttermere Valley only a 15 minute drive away.
    If you enjoy a spot of hiking, why not head up the fells to Grizedale Pike, or the Coledale Horseshoe for some unforgettable scenery. Also within easy reach is Bassenthwaite Lake, a known nesting site for Ospreys.

    Book easily online today through the Finest Retreats website, and start looking forward to your holiday in the stunning Lake District.

    This was our second time at The Duck House and we’ll definitely be back. It’s idyllic to have breakfast at the dining table and watch that garden birds outsidesit in the sunroom and listen to the pheasant calling outside.

    The village is lovely and it’s so easy to pop out to the shop, for a walkto one of the nearby restaurants.

    All three of us love coming here. It feels so homely. It’s exceptionally clean, yet cosy. It is well set up for families and Mary goes above and beyond to ensure guests are well catered for. I also appreciate the detailed instructions left around the house which take away any uncertainty.

    A boring point, but I was thrilled how quiet the washing machine was in its cupboard. We could use it overnight with no disturbance!
    I can’t think of any improvements!

    I was delighted by the location at the edge of the village. Braithwaite is a beautiful place to be based with access to many different places. The quiet darkness provides ideal sleeping, especially after walking in the fells.

    What a wonderful house in a beautiful area! The house is well laid out, so modern and clean and clearly very well kept. It was well set up for visiting with a toddler and we really appreciated the use of the travel cot and high chair. This is a great base from which to explore Keswick and the wider Lake District area. We immediately felt at home and look forward to visiting again in the future.

    The house is located in a cul-de-sac in a beautiful village. It is spacious and very well maintained. A lot of attention has been put into the details of making the guest experience brilliant. There are a few walking trails nearby and one right outside the house. The hostess is a kind and thoughtful lady. She came around and introduced herself soon after we checked into the house and told us where & how to find her if we ever needed anything. We stayed for a week and definitely hope to visit again.

    Second visit to the Duck House. It is a large, bright bungalow with a conservatory and parking, situated in a lovely spot in Braithwaite. Everything you could want has been catered for to start your holiday. Braithwaite is a lovely village with a small shop and 2 coffee shops (and pub) you can be in relative peace and quiet, but close enough to Keswick to walk in to all that it has to offer. At certain times, Braithwaite is busy with cars going through and lots of walkers. Lovely to have wonderful walks from your doorstep. Mary, the owner, is very friendly and lives nearby. She comes and fills up the bird feeders regularly. A lovely array of birds come to feed, including 2 ducks!
    We would suggest taking a cable to connect your laptop to the TV, so that you can watch netflix, bbciplayer etc, as the TV is not the most modern in terms of channels. Other than that, no improvements required.

    The skylight in the master bedroom isn’t a good idea as you wake at dawn needs a cover for those of us who like dark bedrooms!

    The access to the driveway is challenging, particularly with a larger vehicle. You certainly need your wits about you! The location pin provided by the host was not accurate but the written directions were. You are asked to strip the beds and do some other things before you leave (more than I've come across in other stays). Check out time is 9.30am so this was difficult with a small toddler. Overall we enjoyed the stay and these are just very minor gripes.

    Lovely bungalow - nicely furnished and decorated, very well equipped. Comfortable beds, great shower. Wi-Fi worked well. We enjoyed sitting in the sun room looking at the lovely view. There is a nice back patio with a table and chairs which would be lovely on sunny days. Off-road parking. Great location for access to village shop and pubs plus beautiful walks from the door. Buses run through the village into Keswickit’s a nice walk. Hosts were helpful and friendly. We appreciated their efforts to recycle, reduce single use plastic and to use non-polluting cleaning products. We would definitely consider staying again.
    Phone signal wasn’t great but that’s due to the village location - not the property.

    For our first stay in the Lake District, The Duck House in Braithwaite was in a perfect location for Keswick and the surrounding areas. Braithwaite is a lovely little village and we were within walking distance of a couple of pubs which served lovely food. The house had everything we needed and we had a great stay! We can definitely recommend this property.

    The Duck House
    Clare (United Kingdom)   
    Cottage was beautiful, clean and well appointed. Central Braithwaite village. Great to stroll to the village shop. All local areas easily accessible. Great walks on the doorstep.

    We found the key safe a bit of a trial as we were in and out quite a bit but that is really a very small thing. Probably need a stash of parking discs as they are easy to forget to return

    The Duck house is a gem! In a fantastic location for walking, with easy access to Keswick. It is clean, comfortable, tastefully decorated and very well equipped. Lovely comfortable bed, smart kitchen and very modern bathrooms powerful showers and a huge deep bath! A lovely conservatory with a huge picture window looking over beautiful countryside. The Duck House is surrounded by mountains... with great walks from the door. Private parking, and a short walk to the village store, The Royal Oak and Jasper's coffee shop. We loved our stay and recommend it highly.

    The bungalow was great. Exactly as the photos and spotlessly clean. It had all the facilities we needed and was a fantastic base for days out in the lake district.

    It was our first visit to the Lake District and we absolutely loved it! The Duck house’ location was perfect and enabled us to explore lots of beautiful scenic places nearby without having to drive too far. The stream next to the house was magical, and so were all the different birds that were in the garden. We loved looking at the sheep on the hill in front of the house. The hosts were accommodating and left us some essentials that were really appreciated after our long drive from London. We would definitely go back again!

    A perfect place to stay in the lakes. Beautiful location, walks on your doorstep as well as great pub and restaurant. The house was so clean and a lovely tranquil spot with a stream running along the house. Only one slight downside for us, there was no blackout blind in the main bedroom and it has a skylight so it’s light from when the sun is up. We would stay again as we throughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you

    A great house in a great location. We had a wonderful week exploring Keswick and The Lakes, with some great walking and cycling directly from the house.
