Greenbank Country House, Borrowdale, Keswick, Cumbria
Greenbank Country House offers exceptional self-catering accommodation in the heart of the Borrowdale Valley, surrounded by some of the most breathtaking scenery in the Lake District. Its idyllic countryside setting makes it the perfect choice for those seeking a peaceful retreat while remaining close to popular attractions. Located just 3½ miles from the vibrant market town of Keswick, guests can enjoy a range of outdoor activities such as fell walking, climbing, and cycling.
The property itself is both spacious and welcoming. Upon entering through the main front entrance, guests are greeted by a grand hallway with an elegant staircase. The house features two cosy lounges at the front, both equipped with fireplaces and open fires, comfortable seating, and TV/DVD setups. Large windows in these rooms allow natural light to flood in and offer stunning views of the garden, valley, and fells.
Greenbank Country House is designed for large groups, comfortably accommodating up to 19 guests. The well-equipped kitchen includes a triple-oven Aga, a separate gas hob and oven, a dishwasher, a large toaster, and a microwave. A nearby utility area provides two large fridges, a chest freezer, and two washing machines for guests’ convenience. The adjoining dining room is bright and airy, offering ample seating for large gatherings and featuring expansive windows overlooking the side garden.
The ground floor includes two beautifully appointed bedrooms: one double and one twin, both with en-suite facilities, TVs, and lovely garden views. The first floor offers even more accommodation with six double bedrooms, a twin bedroom, and a single bedroom, all featuring en-suite bathrooms. Some of the bedrooms also have their own TVs. The en-suite bathrooms offer either full stand-up showers or over-bath showers, providing comfort and flexibility for guests.
Outside, the property continues to impress with a spacious parking and turning area and a large, well-maintained garden. The seating area with tables and chairs is ideal for alfresco dining or simply relaxing while soaking up the spectacular views of the Borrowdale Valley and surrounding fells. The house’s elevated position, accessed via a private driveway off Borrowdale Road, ensures both privacy and breathtaking scenery.
Borrowdale is a wonderful destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The valley divides into three smaller valleys—Watendlath, Stonethwaite, and Seathwaite—each offering picturesque walking and cycling routes. Just a short drive away, Keswick provides a variety of shops, restaurants, and museums to explore. For those looking to enjoy the beauty of the Lake District from the water, scenic boat trips around Lake Derwentwater are a must.
Greenbank Country House perfectly combines the charm of a traditional country house with modern comforts, making it an ideal base for families, friends, or groups looking to experience the natural beauty and outdoor adventures of Cumbria.
