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.

Amazing cottage

Had a fantastic week in Rock Lynn. Clean, comfortable and everything you should need for a week away. Really comfortable bed and amazing views. Fantastic location and a lovely village with 3 pubs within walking distance as well as a bistro serving breakfast and lunches. Highly recommend this beautiful cottage.

Perfect in every way

The cottage, its location and the superb views from it were perfect in every way. We also found the email communication and friendliness of Keswick Cottages shop staff to be exactly what one would hope from a holiday cottage letting company. We have been annual visitors to the Keswick area for over 25 years and we have now found our new "go to" cottage for our future visits. We have already rebooked for 2027!

Peaceful place with a view

Wonderful cottage tucked away on the hill side with amazing views both from inside or at the top of the garden , this comfortable cottage had everything and more for us and the dogs in our favorite place in the lakes, can't wait to go back .
Response from VrboOwner on 19 Mar 2026
Hi, Craig! Yes, Rock Lynn is a really popular property for a reason! I mean, what's better than a wood-fired hot tub, with views like that? Rock Lynn is so cosy, grounding you in the rural, relaxing feeling of the Lake District, with added luxuries that make your stay extra special. Shall we expect a call to book your next visit?

A cottage with a view and a hot tub!

Very comfortable and well appointed bungalow with fantastic views. Lovely terrace if the weather's nice enough to sit out. And the hot tub is great, whatever the weather! We love Braithwaite so the property was ideally located for access to the local pubs and village shop.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Feb 2026
Hi, Sarah! Thank you so much for your lovely review. It’s wonderful to hear how comfortable you felt in the bungalow and that those fantastic views—and the terrace—made your stay even more special. The hot tub really is a treat in any weather, so we’re delighted you enjoyed it. Braithwaite has such a warm, welcoming feel, and it’s great to know the location worked perfectly for you with the pubs and village shop just a stroll away. We’d be thrilled to welcome you back whenever you’re ready for another visit. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Hi, David! It's great to hear that you enjoyed your trip to the Lakes with us. Rock Lynn is a detached bungalow set in an elevated position above Braithwaite village with the most fabulous views over the village towards Skiddaw, the Helvellyn range and right round to Barrow which you can enjoy from the wood-fired hot tub.

Great cottage, beautiful setting

Great cottage, spacious, 2 bathrooms, well kitted out. Amazing setting, walks from your doorstep, handy for Keswick, Derwent Water, Buttermere, etc.
Response from VrboOwner on 10 Sept 2025
Hi Robert, Thank you for your review. Rock Lynn in Braithwaite is the perfect base for a break in the Lake District. There is lots to do right on your door step such as fell walks or even Go Ape up at Whinlatter visitor centre. There is a bus service that runs though the village that will take you all over the Lakes so no need to use your car once you've parked up. We hope you had a fantastic holiday. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Rock lynn

A comfortable bungalow with far reaching impressive views, though the extremely steep drive is something we’d rather not tackle in icy weather. Keswick Cottages have very good customer service and the digital information ahead of visiting is very helpful. A nice welcome pack and lovely and warm on arrival. Overall would definitely recommend this property

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.

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.
Response from VrboOwner on 19 Aug 2025
Hi Diane, Thank you for your review. Nestled in the village of Braithwaite, Rock Lynn is the perfect base for anyone wanting to get out and explore the area. Not far from Whinlatter with Go Ape and lots of mountain bike trails or only a short bus trip or nice walk in to Keswick. We're so pleased you got the chance to use the outdoor space with the fantastic weather we have had recently. We hope you had a fantastic holiday! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

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!
