Place to stay in Keswick

Our static caravan is nestled at the edge of a small wood in the beautiful valley of Borrowdale in the heart of the English Lake District. It's a cool and affordable glamping -like holiday in a stunning countryside setting. It's great value for week long stays. The space The caravan has many of the original fittings and has been really well cared for - we'd call it 'good vintage condition'. We've gone with the 70's vibe with the accessories! There is a double (4ft double bed) room and the second bedroom can be either a double or a twin (it has two 2ft beds). The fully equipped galley kitchen extends to a spacious living/dining area. The wooded fell is behind the caravan and to the front are fabulous views across the valley. The wood is home to our resident tawny owl, red squirrels and woodpeckers. So, it's great for wildlife enthusiasts as the birds can also be watched from inside at the breakfast table or from the sofa. Outside, there's parking for one car (more nearby if you need it) and picnic tables and chairs to enjoy the views. THE AREA Manesty is less than a mile from the Derwentwater lakeshore and about the same distance from the pretty village of Grange, with its teashop and double hump-backed bridge over the River Derwent. The 'Honister Rambler' bus takes you into Keswick from the doorstep between Easter and November, or the launch runs all-year round, as does a bus from Grange. We're in a perfect location for walks, water sports, touring the villages, or just sitting back to relax! We provide all our guests with our 'walks from the door' which we have written ourselves: 11 walks of varying lengths that you can enjoy straight out of the gate. Our family have lived at Manesty, a traditional Lakeland farmstead in Borrowdale, for nearly 200 years and have a long history of welcoming visitors to share our beautiful part of the world. We live in the house built by Alan's father and grandfather near the original farmstead and let the caravan, original farmhouse and converted barns as holiday accommodation. We're here to help you get the best out of your stay if you want and are always happy to offer advice. FACILITIES: ‘Free Sat’ TV. Shower room/wc with shower over hip bath. Utility room adjacent to the caravan with washing machine and drier and pressurised hot water cylinder for great showers. Kitchen: the 5 cubic ft refrigerator has a small ice box. There is no dishwasher or microwave, although we can provide a microwave if you wish. Heating: electric. ******* Please note, we usually let the caravan for full weeks, arriving and departing on Saturdays. Shorter breaks are available at the last minute and at the beginning and end of the season. ******* Guest access Guests have their own parking space and exclusive use of the caravan and immediate outside area, with table and chairs. They are welcome to explore our small wooded fell side behind the caravan, as are guests in our other accommodation. We have one outdoor wood fired hot tub in our little wood, which can be booked for a day at a time for an additional cost by guests staying in any of our accommodation. Please book in advance and check availability before you book accommodation if this is an integral part of your holiday plans. Other things to note Before your stay we will email you full information about check in and details of your stay. We are always at the end of the phone to help when you want it and usually around to chat with our guests.
