Whispering Pines

As you turn into the driveway marvelling at the wild abandon of this place, nothing prepares you for THAT view which does not fail to impress! And the absurdly fantastic vantage point that Whispering Pines offers, from the contemporary cosy interiors to the terraces with fragrant pines and aromatic wild strawberry borders during summer months.

Marvel at panoramic views from the northern fells of SKIDDAW, west to Bassenthwaite Lake, Whinlatter Forest, Grizedale Pike and further south over Derwentwater, CAT BELLS, Robinson, Hindscarth, taking in CASTLERIGG to the East. The breath taking views are genuinely therapeutic and can be enjoyed both INDOORS and OUT.

This two storey, three bedroom detached holiday cottage in Keswick, the English Lake District, is set amongst a cluster of unique properties with far reaching views. Located in Lonsties off Castlerigg Brow, Whispering Pines is a great base for a comfortable self-catering holiday, with a generous living space and covered outdoor area which are PERFECT FOR WEATHER-PROOF family holidays.

Crisp white EGYPTIAN cotton linen furnish our COMFORTABLE beds to help make your stay that little bit more relaxing. If you do leave the indoors Lakeland mountain views, you can walk or cycle in almost any direction from the front door on footpaths, quiet lanes and forest tracks. Walla Crag, Ashness Bridge and Castlerigg Stone Circle are all fabulous walks from the cottage front door.
