A large cottage with useful rooms like a utility/drying room, a room to hang coats, a playroom for the children plus lots of bath/shower rooms. The manager of the property was very helpful when I phoned up. The views even in bad weather were delightful. The toys left out were great for our toddlers and the table-tennis for the adults.

This is a superb property - great location, all the bedrooms are very good; there is plenty of seating in the dining and living room areas; there is also extra space downstairs including a carpeted area (where we did some yoga-type exercise) and a table tennis room (where we stored a pushbike). The kitchen is very well equipped with more than enougRead moreh cutlery and crockery. Everything works well, including the showers. Stunning scenery all round the property.

Parkergate Farmhouse has the most beautiful views looking westward across Bassenthwaite Lake. Its well equipped and comfortable with plenty of parking while Keswick and Cockermouth are easily accessible. Its a good base for the northern Lakes.

Lovely location. Barely noticed that there are other properties on the site. The Farmhouse is larger than the description leads you to believe. Five bathrooms is a real bonus for large groups. It's very comfortable and well equipped. Shower water pressure varies by room but apart from that all is in good order.
