Rock Lynn - a bungalow that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

The lounge is lovely and bright has an open fire in a pine surround, two leather settees, colour TV, DVD, video and CD player. There are fabulous views towards the fells from the main bay window and side window. This is a perfect room in which to relax and just look out towards the views.

The dining kitchen is fully fitted and very well equipped with gas hob, electric oven, fridge, freezer, dishwasher microwave, etc, dining table and four chairs and patio doors which lead to the patio area. Off the kitchen there is a utility area with a washing machine and tumble dryer.

There are two very comfortable bedrooms, one double room with a super king size bed, pine furniture, and coordinating fabrics. The front bedroom has an en-suite shower room with shower, WC and wash hand basin. The second bedroom is again well finished and has two single beds and an en-suite bathroom with bath, WC and wash hand basin. Both bedrooms have zip-linked beds which means that either room can be made up as a double or a twin room. If you require a change in configuration of beds. (eg two doubles or two twin rooms) a charge of £15.00 will be made.Towels provided (one bath & one hand towel per person).

This is a lovely, bright bungalow with plenty of space, private parking to the front for up to four cars, a private patio to the side with picnic bench and the most exceptional views towards numerous fells. Rock Lynn is an ideal property where you can escape and relax but within striding distance of the pubs and shop and superb walking from the doorstep. To the back of the bungalow there is a steep grassed area where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the fells.

Fantastic stay

Great cottage in a lovely village. It has everything you need with a garden overlooking the village and nearby fells which was great to sit in at the end of the day. The bed was so comfortable.

A great location in Braithwaite

Lovely relaxing break

Lovely cosy cottage. Clean, well equipped and fantastic views! Great location for walks and local pubs. The drive up to the cottage is definitely steep (hence the great views!) so not easy for our elderly dog so we used the car more than anticipated. Oh and the welcoming bottle of Prosecco was much appreciated!

Rock Lynn was as advertised a beautiful view from the house, the garden behind the house is challenging and could do with steps put into the grass slope to make it easier to get up to the garden. Apart from that small issue everything else was fantastic.

A lovely winter break at Rock Lynn

We thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay at Rock Lynn, a very well presented, comfy and cosy property in a great location with lovely views all around. Comfortable bed and good modern bathrooms and kitchen, well equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor space was also very good and would be great in the warmer weather.

Peaceful retreat

Great bungalow with fabulous views. Clean, comfortable and in good location. Only one small negative point the sofas could do with being replaced as getting a little tired. Overall excellent accommodation and would like to return in the future.

Our Favourite

We have stayed in Rock Lynn many times. It is a lovely property with stunning views. It is clean and comfortable. The village of Braithwaite is peaceful and there are many walks locally. The town of Keswick is a short drive/walk from the house.

Another week away.

After Christmas we booked another stay at Rock Lynn. A wonderful property in a great little village just outside of Keswick. The ideal property as a base for walks or just a week's peace and quiet. Some great walks and strolls from the front door, and we took advantage of its perfect location....and the property was spotlessly clean. All in all, another great week.

Not sure what this means

Superb position overlooking Braithwaite and surrounding mountains. Difficult to imagine a better spot.clean and very comfortable Only problem was that when it rained we could not get to reception. Something that should be looked at if possible Really enjoyed our stay. We have stayed in many cottages in various parts of the Lake District but this was the best

Comfort

We have stayed in Rock Lynn for many years and it is always a joy to return. Very spacious accommodation with a large double bedroom with ensuite shower, and large twin with access to the main bathroom with shower over bath. The lounge is spacious with 2 large settees and a super smart TV for those quiet nights, with stunning views over the Fells and the Vale of Keswick. Plenty of area for after wet walks, a covered area in the garden for wet dripping clothes, plus a large utility room that also houses the washing machine, dryer and freezer. The kitchen is a good size, with ample space for food preps, with table and chairs offering more stunning views over the Coledale Fells. Ample parking for 2 cars. This is the perfect Lakeland location for a relaxing holiday.

Nice house

We had a lovely stay in Rock Lynn. The house was very comfortable had good amenities. It was also in a lovely location with amazing views. We were a bit disappointed with the state of the outside area by the kitchen/utility room. It had a lot of weeds and there were many dead leaves in the lean-to and the barbecue looked quite dirty. The grass was cut weekly which was great but a bit more attention to the patio/stoned area would have been appreciated. It was also a bit disappointing that we had to chase for the linen and towel change - we were expecting it to be done on the middle Saturday but we’re only told when chasing that it would be done on the Sunday. The lack of communication was disappointing.

Relaxing and peaceful holiday in a beautiful location

We had a wonderful and peaceful stay in Rock Lynn. We had everything we needed in a lovely location to many of the Lakes. The bungalow was lovely and quiet and ideal for travelling to many beautiful areas. The only down side was the garden was steeper then expected for my dogs and elderly parents but this is the only negative. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you.

Fantastic place to stay , views were amazing even on the wet days . Cottage is well equipped and great for a dog , only complaint is the bedroom curtains need to take an eye mask as they let lots of light in.

Great half term stay

Booked this property very late and price had been reduced to within our budget. Lovely clean, spacious bungalow with superb views. Braithwate is just a short hop to Keswick, great if you use the bus. It's in a quiet location but close to the two pubs and little shop/cafe. Could had done with a TV in the kitchen and a pity the room in the loft was not used. But the place was spotless and had really good bathrooms. We normally try and stay more in the middle of the Lakes but enjoyed our time here and would definitely think about returning.

Great dog friendly cottage

We have stayed here lots of times over the years and as regular visitors to the Lakes, it's our favourite dog friendly place. It's spacious, full of amenities Inc a great boot room/place to dry the dog and in a perfect location for us! Lovely recently refurbished kitchen and bathrooms too. We've stayed in summer and winter - been lucky enough with good weather to use outside patio and in the winter it is lovely and cosy. Only thing I would mention is that it doesn't have a Smart TV which is unusual these days (hence the loss of one point)Otherwise fantastic place!

Great family holiday in August!

We have a wonderful stay at Rock Lynn last week - the property is immaculate and in a great location in a lovely village. There are two great pubs within easy walking distance, a super coffee shop and a well-stocked village shop. The property is lovely inside and out - comfy beds, great kitchen with all appliances and lovely bath/showers - plus fabulous views and an enclosed garden (albeit this is steep!) for the dog. There's also a short walk accessible from the back garden up the steep hill behind too, which had lovely views across the valley. Would definitely recommend this property and we will certainly return!

Just Wonderful!

Our 8th visit to this wonderful property in such a glorious location. Ideal for walking from the property as well as handy access to Keswick, the A66 to both the Western Lakes and Penrith. Will certainly be back!

A miserable wet and windy Christmas week.

Saved by our stay at Rock Lynn. We had a wonderful stay with our son and Tina. Cracking accomadation and for us the absolute perfect spot to stay. Just far enough from the village centre to be quiet.....but 2 minutes walk to the pub. Just far enough from keswick, but minutes in the car, a little longer on the bus and a happy 40ish minute scenic stroll. Sat above the cottage on the small seat up the hill every morning enjoying the view and tranquillity. Breaks my heart to think someone may read this and find this little hidden gem that stops us getting our next booking. It ticked all our boxes.....and put some boxes I hadn't even thought of there. The Christmas we will never forget was spent at Rock Lynn for all the right reasons. Many thanks to Toshy and the keswick cottages team.
