Refurbished June 2021, this beautifully presented 17th-century cottage has been thoughtfully decorated to show off some of the original features, including a stunning oak beamed ceiling. The heart of the house is downstairs and features an open plan living room, kitchen and dining space, offering an open fire for those cosy nights in. Upstairs has a modern bathroom, and there are two very comfortable, good-sized bedrooms comprising a double, with lovely views and plenty of storage, and a full-size bunk bedroom. There are open views from the upstairs windows as far as the eye can see and the changing colours of the seasons are a sight to behold when you wake in the morning. It really makes this cottage one to remember.
Osprey Cottage is an ideal escape from the hustle and bustle of 21st century life, whether you are in the lakes for relaxation, culture, sightseeing or adventure, you are in a prime location within a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Lake District National Park. Situated in the popular village of Bassenthwaite, the property benefits from amazing views looking south towards Bassenthwaite Lake, Catbells and the Borrowdale Valley and takes in some stunning sights of the surrounding Northern Lake District Fells. Immediately behind the property is a wood with lots of wildlife, including red squirrels, osprey and other birds of prey, and from the top, a sensational view of Skiddaw. Within a short walk of the property you have two pubs offering great food and local ales. It is just 8 miles from the popular towns of Keswick and Cockermouth.

Keswick is on the shores of Derwent Water, which offers an abundance of shopping and dining experiences, as well as a variety of cultural hotspots and tourist attractions including the Pencil Museum, the Theatre on the Lake, Keswick Convention Centre and Keswick Museum and Art Gallery. Cockermouth is a quieter 800 year old market town, again with lots of shops and places to eat. It is the birthplace of William Wordsworth and another famous son is Fletcher Christian who led the mutiny on ’The Bounty’.

The property has no rear garden and although there is a lovely garden which can be seen from the rear windows, it does not belong to this cottage. Shops 8 miles, pub and restaurant ¾ mile. Osprey Cottage can be booked together with Holly Bank (CC113125) 200 metres away, to accommodate up to 12 guests.
Free WiFi

Please note there is no access to the garden at the rear of the property which belongs to No.3.

We had a lovely holiday in Osprey Cottage.
We had a lovely holiday in Osprey Cottage. Nice and cosy, beautiful views from the kitchen and landing windows, very peaceful. The neighbour was extremely helpful when we managed to lose our key! We enjoyed a meal at the nearby Sun Inn as well as further afield, and found the shops in Keswick well stocked and good quality. We hope to return another year.

Gorgeous cottage with amazing views.
Gorgeous cottage with amazing views. While local amenities weren't the best, they weren't the worst as well. You just have to be well prepared! Keswick is not far away for your shopping so do take full advantage. We will be back to this cottage in the future. It was simply breath taking!

We arrived to a soggy towel in the fridge which had obviously been defrosting.
We arrived to a soggy towel in the fridge which had obviously been defrosting. No note of apology or explanation. Also no welcome tray which is always a nice touch. We felt slightly duped by details 're outside space... so called bistro table is between 2 large and overflowing bins.. and on the driveway ... so basically no outside space. The bed is ok but arrangements for mattress could be better. Otherwise we had a fantastic week... this is a perfect base for a relaxed week in the Lakes.

Great cottage for our family of 3.
Great cottage for our family of 3..seemed to have a slight fly problem but we simply used fly spray daily and accepted the reality of an old building. Lack of outside space a downside and no shop near by but as we went out most days we could shop in other locations .Would be happy to return and would recommend.
