Having visited The Lingholm Estate’s Kitchen and Walled Garden as a post ‘Catbell’s summit conquer’ reward previously, EW&S were excited at the prospect of staying at Keepers Cottage one of the beautifully appointed self catering lets available on the Estate.  With work commitments only allowing for a 2 night break in the lead up to Easter, Lingholm came up trumps offering flexible, short stays even at the height of the school holidays, standing out from the majority of other cottages insisting on a week’s commitment minimum.

The Estate is situated on the Western Shore of Derwentwater in a dramatic location surrounded by incredible views of some of the best loved Lakeland fells.  Central to the Estate is a grand grade II listed Victorian house, converted into beautiful apartments, in addition to this are a number of cottages nestled in the grounds, the largest of which accommodates 12.
