The town boasts numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, excellent parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing and great mountain biking opportunities, whilst the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. Nearby, between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw or the famous Catbells, there really is something for everyone. Visit Castlerigg Stone Circle, the Jennings Brewery and Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the Bassenthwaite Lake, or take a fabulous boat trip around Derwentwater. With plenty of attractions for the kids, lovely parks and the nearby Lake District Wildlife Park this is a great Lakeland destination whatever the time of year.

Like a bad dream...

I was disappointed with our stay at Squirrel Lodge in December 2023. I appreciate that VRBO/Sykes are only going to try and show the good stuff about their property on their books in their web images, and they really have done that in this instance. So, the good bits; the lounge is OK, with plenty of chairs for the 7 of us that were staying, but I'd worry if all six rooms were fully occupied. Kitchen is OK, but again, very small if the house is fully occupied. The dining room would seat everyone around the large table, but that's where the good stuff dries up. I can't directly review the bedrooms on the first and second floor, but we were on the third floor, some 45 stairs up, which was tedious to say the least. But if the bedroom had been half decent I guess the exertion of getting up the stairs would have been worth it. It wasn't, it as terrible. As was the other bedroom in the attic. It was like a cross between student accommodation and a hostel. It was the kind of room you have bad dreams about ending up in if your life had gone wrong. I like to stay somewhere that is as nice or better than my house. This was not. The bed was small and terribly uncomfortable. The cheap foam duvet and pillows were as bad as the mattress. Very little storage. Furniture that wouldn't look out of place in a charity shop. Then woodchip walls have been patched up to within an inch of their life over the years. The décor was shockingly old and, the workmans
