Description

Sitting directly on the shores of Derwentwater, extending into the lake and enjoying the most beautiful location and views imaginable. Keswick Boat House offers a truly unique experience, being the only property of it's kind in the Lake District.
From the balcony overhanging the water you can enjoy a glass of wine while watching the launches arriving and departing from the jetties and the ducks splashing about on the lake. Inside the property is equally as stunning, consisting of an open plan design with antique furniture and a wealth of beams, some of which you may need to duck underneath.
There are many wonderful walks from the doorstep around the lake, both low level or high peaks for the more energetic. The renowned Theatre by the Lake, The Keswick Tea Gardens and Hope Park are all within 200 yards and Keswick Town centre with its many amenities is only a 5 minute walk.

About the local area

Keswick is overlooked by spectacular scenery including the towering Skiddaw and Lonscale Fell to the north and Derwentwater a stones throw away to the south, in the heart of the Northern Lakes.

The market town gained its original charter in 1276 and although small it now forms the hub of the Northern Lake District. Keswick has great character with its well tended appearance (Winning several national awards); two large parks close to the town centre, speciality, gift and outdoor shops and a range of outdoor and indoor attractions.

Close by is the 4000 year old Castlerigg Stone Circle and the shores of Derwentwater are a mere stroll away past the Theatre by the Lake. During the summer months visitors can enjoy a free minibus service run by the National Trust from Keswick linking into round trips to Buttermere.

Keswick is a great base for a holiday in the Lake District with plenty of facilities close at hand but in the midst of beautiful north Lakeland countryside.

What our customers say

F Hollas - March 2013

It was even better than we had imagined


S Ashmore - February 2013

We loved the quirkiness of the property and the homely feel it had. The outside light needs to stay on a bit longer when coming back from the town in the dark. That is the only minor negative thing but thought might be worth mentioning. Thank you so much for a week of pure relaxation and indulgence in such a beautiful part of our country.


R Brooks - July 2012

We thought the whole experience was fantastic,thank you.
