About this property

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).

Hot tub hire available at this property - please enquire with host.

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.

Lovely bungalow in a good location with great outside space.

We had a lovely 4 nights in baking hot weather so the outside space was fantastic. We ate outside every night, and didn't need to use the covered BBQ area - a genius idea for the usually wetter Lakes! The bungalow was spotlessly clean and the kitchen was well equipped. An added bonus was the utility room which allowed us to store our teenager's mountain bike safely. It's a great spot for riding up to Whinlatter Forest or walking up Grizedale Pike from the door.

Wonderful Location

Rock Lynn is a lovely house in a quiet location with wonderful views and lots of walks locally. A short walk up the hill at the rear of the house is worth it for the view.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Lovely

Another lovely stay with Keswick Cottages. Rock Lynn was clean, tidy, and well equipped with lovely walks direct from the door, and a pub and shop just down the road in Braithwaite. The driveway and garden are steep and could be a problem if you have mobility issues!

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.

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 property in a superb location.

Great property in a superb location. Very spacious with excellent kitchen and bathrooms. Lovely garden with amazing views especially when you climb up out the back of the bungalow. I think the lounge could do with a little modernisation and a smart TV. Braithwaite is ideal with a super village shop, great pubs, a bus service and fantastic walks from the door. We also booked a tennis court at the tennis club which had amazing views of skiddaw. We have been to Rock Lynn 4 times and will definitely return.

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!
