Brandlehow - a house that sleeps 7 guests in 4 bedrooms

  • If you're seeking an extraordinary property for your holiday then look no further than Brandlehow. This private characterful cottage is positioned right on the edge of Derwentwater, with the Woods and Catbells behind, and even has a famous neighbour, the much loved ‘Teddy in the Window'!

    Being right on the water's edge and amongst some of the most picturesque scenery this property is ideal for adventure lovers and all things outdoors! There is plenty of space in the property to store bikes, paddleboards and kayaks, before launching from the front door!
    The journey to this cottage is a wonderful experience in itself with stunning views on route, followed by a private access road through the woods to lead you to your holiday home.

    On entering the property you'll be greeted by the farmhouse style kitchen with plenty of worktop space, fridge-freezer, double sinks, and stove. There is a dishwasher, however you may find yourself volunteering to do the washing up just to admire the amazing views over Derwentwater! The large dining table makes this the perfect space to gather together with family and friends to socialise and dine. The utility off the kitchen provides plenty of space for boots and coats, and has a washing machine and dryer.

    Pass through the spacious hallway, where there is access to the garden, to find yourself in the homely living room with leather sofas, wall mounted TV and cosy log burning stove.

    Upstairs there are four bedrooms, two king bedrooms, one double and one single bedroom, all well furnished with solid furniture, quality Lake District artwork, and with beds dressed in luxury crisp linen. The master bedroom has the added bonus of a wall mounted TV and also an ensuite shower room.

    The modern family bathroom is conveniently positioned between the bedrooms and has a bath with shower over.

    There are two areas upstairs on the landings with seating, one of which also has a desk, where you can escape to take a quiet moment and admire the views.

    Despite how lovely the house is, the enclosed garden with fire pit is most likely going to be where you'll spend most of your time! The views and scenery are breath-taking (even on a dull day) and it would be difficult to find a more idyllic location!

    Fancy an extra treat during your holiday? Hot tub hire is available at this property - please enquire for hot tub availability and prices

    There is a Keswick Launch jetty nearby for easy access to attractions including Nichol End, Lingholm, and central Keswick. If you fancy an evening meal or drink closer to home the Borrowdale Gates and Lodore Falls are less than 1.5 miles away.

If we won the lottery we would buy Brandlehow

Our 3rd visit to Brandlehow and another truly stunning week, a mix of activity and relaxation. The house, the location, and the Keswick Cottages team all combine to make a fantastic experience … plus meeting our late changes to suit the wedding vows renewal at Gretna midweek. It made it all so very special for all of us, thank you

Amazing family break

We booked this cottage quite last minute, and were amazed to see that it was still available, and I continue to be amazed that it was still available, because it was absolutely perfect. The location was like like something from a dreamland… So many walkers commented on it and I was reluctant to tell them the truth that it was just a holiday rental, as it was really a property to be in or of an unfortunate I couldn’t claim I live there! Absolutely stunning, the kids had a blast in and out of the water, walks from your doorstep on steroids, what’s not to love?

Perfect location

We loved our stay here. With beautiful views of the lake, direct access to walking paths, and a 5 minute walk to a ferry stop, it was the perfect location for us and our dog.

Stunning spot on the lake shore.

I doubt there can be many other properties that can match this location! Absolutely stunning. Great walks right from the house, Catbells, Newlands round etc.. once the round the lake walkers have disappeared for the day the silence is incredible. The house has really comfortable beds and good communal space. The garden has stunning views and great spot for a post walk beer.

A cottage located in paradise

We have been walking to Borrowdale and around Manesty for years and often passed Brandlehow thinking who lives in a cottage like this …. Well we were fortunate enough to stay there last week … The views are spectacular and we were blessed with good weather. Keswick cottages were very helpful over a few requirements we needed for our stay at the cottage Thank you Wonderful memories made

Stunning location with extraordinary views

Brandlehow is the perfect place to relax and refuel. The location is superb, nestled in the woodlands and on the shores of Derwentwater. Most days began with a coffee overlooking the lake, watching the sunrise and the cloud disperse. Beautiful walks from the doorstep and of course a lot of kayaking right from the door. The water levels were incredibly high when we arrived so couldn't make the best use of the launches as we have in the past but enjoyed a trip later in the week. The footpath that runs adjacent to the garden is really only busy around lunchtime as it is midway round the lake loop. Delighted with the additional option of hiring a hot tub too. Beds are very comfy and the landing windows overlooking the lake were great to sit and look over the lake when it got cooler.

Tranquil setting for relaxation

Beautifully positioned on banks of Derwent allows easily access for water sports. Wonderful views from the garden and the viewing corridor (by bedrooms). Heating and hot water in plentiful supply. Well stocked kitchen for prepping and cooking. We were blessed with beautiful weather which made it a perfect stay for us all.

Summer holiday at Brandlehow

My first experience dealing with Keswick cottages and they were happy to help me with regards to changing my check in and check out dates so that I could be there for my birthday which I was grateful for. When we arrived I was delighted to find a bottle of prosecco and lovely box of chocolates with a card which I thought was a really lovely touch. The house was perfect for us, two couples and two adult kids with plenty of space and comfortable beds. The outdoor space was great for late night fires, card and ball games. We soon became acquainted with a robin which we fed every morning along with duck food bought for the ducks that visited us at the lake shore. All in all it was a perfect week away filled with local walks and lovely food. I would definitely recommend Keswick cottages and would book with them again. Brandlehow is a wonderful place. Thanks again Keswick Cottages x

Keswick Cottages were very helpful and responsive. The house had the most amazing views and the location was perfect on the edge of Derwentwater and close to many great walks.

Great Stay

Lovely property in a perfect location. Property management team, really helpful & pleasant. Dealt with any issues straight away. (we only had the one). Would definitely recommend this property. Plenty of walks on the doorstep & Keswick only a 15 minute drive away.

Fabulous cottage, stunning location. Enjoyed the hot tub but perhaps should have been included in the overall price of the accommodation and not as an extra. We found there were only 2 folding chairs for outside and needed couple more for older members of party to carry down to lakeside. Overall a really enjoyable week

We are so glad we came back for a second visit ...

This was a return visit 12 months from the previous one, and we loved it ... from the first moments of arrival to the sad departure a week later. Keswisk Cottages had clearly looked at our few pointers from a year ago, and had made some subtle but really effective changes: a bit of TLC and some nice touches here & there. Brandlehow is so wonderully positoned just yards from the waters edge, the welcoming feel of the property and the great condition of the place just makes it feel like a real home-from-home ... we like it so much we are already trying to book again for next year! Thankyou to the Keswick Cottages team for their support through the booking and the period before we arrived, and the odd phone query from us on a couple of specific topics which we handled with aplomb by the team.

Possibly the best located holiday cottage in the Lake District.

We booked this cottage because we like to take our two spaniels to nice places. This is the most dog friendly place we have ever been. Secure, large garden and stunning traffic-free walks literally from your doorstep. We stayed late November when the ferry was not running, a round trip to Kewick in the car for shopping is at leat an hour so arrive well stocked. If the weather gods play ball, watch beautiful reflections on the lake by day and the Milky Way at night. Last but not least, Keswick Cottages were efficient, professional and a pleasure to deal with. Book direct for best price.

Amazing stay

We all had an excellent stay at Brandlehow. The location was beyond exceptional, with easy access to both Keswick and the surrounding environs of Derwent Water and Borrowdale. Sunrise in particular was a moment of pure bliss. The facilities on site were excellent and beyond our expectations. Having a separate boot room / toilet to dump walking gear proved to be handy. The kitchen was very well appointed. The lounge comfortable. The hall was ideal for our dogs. The bathrooms were clean and spacious. The bedrooms were comfortable, fresh and inviting. Although the beds were a little soft and pillows a tad big, hence the 4 out of 5 rating. The hot tub was great, especially after a long walk, with an amazing aspect. The only improvement could be some hooks outside to hang towels or dry robes, perhaps under an awning to keep them dry. Overall, lots of thoughtful touches, with treats for the dogs, the attention to detail with the App guide, matches to light the fire pit, games and jigsaws and even a smart TV. Well done, we’ll look to come again. Teddy in the window rocks!

Old house, hidden by the lakeside.

If you want isolation (save for a few walkers using the footpath), to use the lake and walk, and you don't care that there isn't a pub within walking distance, this is the house for you! The furnishings are fine/good, although some table lamps downstairs would be a really nice addition to make it feel a bit cosier in the evenings. We walked, swam and kayaked every day for 2 weeks in all weathers, and popped into Keswick frequently for food, shops and the lovely Alhambra cinema. You need a car - the house is down a long single-track lane. Keswick Cottages are a pleasure to deal with, and responded well to every problem that came up.

Over priced and under-loved property

Following our stay in the above cottage, we feel that our feedback to yourselves would be advantageous. Whilst the location of the cottage is superb, many – if not most – features were sadly of a poor standard, and not what ought to be expected at such a premium price point. We feel that the price of this accommodation is in the higher price bracket and that this was not reflected in what was offered. Positives: 1. Location 2. The information app that was provided 3. Quality and amount of kitchen appliances 4. WiFi Negatives: 1. Although the cottage was not wholly unclean, there were some areas that had not been cleaned properly and required additional attention on arrival. Quite simply, many walls and surfaces could have been cleaned better; with some looking as though they hadn't been given attention for some time. All the window sills on arrival were dusty/dirty, which should not be expected. These are areas that are obvious and give a final impression of any property, and ought to have been cleaned along with the numerous and unnecessary plastic plants. The freezer drawers also needed a clean. Surely areas such as this ought to be on the regular cleaning schedule. 2. The plastic plants were almost comical – especially those placed in the dilapidated attached greenhouse. To the best of our knowledge, they did not grow whilst we were in attendance. Considering the flora and fauna of Borrowdale, and its reputation as one of the wettest valleys in England, plastic plants from Ikea were neither in keeping or positive. In truth, they came across as a cheap afterthought. 3. The boot room aka the bat room was unusable at night time due to bats. This meant the downstairs toilet, tumble dryer and storage for bikes etc were inaccessible at this time. 4. The seating in the lounge was cheap, shabby and uncomfortable. The cushions were likewise shabby and cheap. with at least one torn cushion. We were subsequently accused of doing this, or our none existent dog was. If we had caused any damage we would have been honest enough to admit it. Quite frankly, having rented properties all over Europe, the lounge was not even up to a 1 star rating. The seating was not suitable for the room, and it did not allow relaxed interaction. Once again, it came across as a cheap afterthought from a second hand store. In a similar vein, the carpet was also not of the standard to be expected. 4. We appreciate that this is an old/quirky house, but perhaps the number of indoor steps/stairs should have been highlighted for people with mobility issues. One member of our group has mobility issues and this did cause some concern and problems. 5. Three of the bedrooms did not have mirrors, the lampshades in one double bedroom did not fit correctly and that room also had a torn cushion. We had exceptionally good weather, yet the limited garden furniture was not sufficient for all of us to sit comfortably - 2 people had to use cheap folding camping seats. There was a small table and no parasol or sun canopy, despite the regular beating down of the sun – which Borrowdale is ironically noted for – I lived here 35 years ago, and can vouch for this. 6. A clothes rail dryer would have been useful, rather than using the tumble dryer in the bat/boot room. The carpets in the house could have been cleaned with a detergent, as there were numerous stains on them. 7. Approximately half of the window at the kitchen sink had internal condensation which made it difficult to admire the scenic views whilst washing up. There was also a leak under the kitchen sink which had a bucket to catch the drips, perhaps a fix is in order. 8. A recycling bin would have been useful rather than having to take our recycling to a car park in Keswick. 9. Each person was given only 1 mid-size towel, and if lucky a hand towel. I'd advise guests to diet in advance of attending, if you expect a bath towel to wrap yourself in. In all honesty, to be asked to pay extra for the towels that ought to be allocated is a joke and something we have never before experienced. 10. The shower fitting in the over-bath area was clearly broken. Any attempt to move and adjust the height resulted in the need to fix the fitting and hope that it would stay in place. 11. The welcome pack - considering this property had cost £2.5k – was none existent... unless of course we paid extra. Quite frankly, if you can't be bothered to provide something welcoming within that budget, I'd rather go to M & S myself. Am I genuinely supposed to be impressed that I can pay extra and select a welcome pack? That's not a welcome pack – it's a shopping delivery! We feel that if we were asked to give a rating for the house it would only be 2.5 stars. Although the location was superb, the property sadly failed to live up to the location, purely due to what seemed to be a lack of care and attention. Quite frankly, we got the impression that it was owned by somebody who lived a distance away, and had no idea how to set out a rental property in this price bracket. The truly sad point in all of this is that, having stayed in Borrowdale over the past 40 years, the cottage has so much potential. It is simply unloved and treated as a cash generator, with no attention – or money – given over to making it a pleasant and stylish interior. It is sad to say this, when the cottage has so much potential, but it is simply true –– we will not return, nor recommend the cottage to anyone else in its current state. Maybe some of the fees being charged ought to be properly invested into ensuring that the condition, upkeep and styling match the aesthetic beauty of the cottage in this location.
