About

Welcome to Manesty Holiday Cottages, the ideal base for your Lake District self catering holiday. If you are visiting Borrowdale for the first time, you’re in for a treat amongst some of England’s most spectacular scenery: walk the lake shores, valleys and high fells; tour picturesque villages and fascinating places; cycle, row, birdwatch, fish, climb; or simply unwind in rural tranquility.

Our cottages, 1 to 4 bedrooms in size, are converted from the original farmstead buildings and constructed in the traditional Lakeland style. They are comfortably furnished and well equipped: facilities include satellite TV, DVD players, free wireless broadband internet and an outdoor, all natural, woodfired hot tub which can be booked by the day.

In addition to our main 5 cottages, we have:

  • A luxury 1 bedroomed cottage, Cocklety How Byre, which is available Mon - Fri and Fri - Mon all year round.
  • A studio apartment for short breaks all year round.
  • A holiday caravan for the ‘close to nature’ experience.

 

As a family business, we are proud to offer excellent value and our guests’ comfort is our priority. In the interests of our customers we have a no smoking indoors policy and do not take pets.

Situated in the beautiful valley of Borrowdale, just five miles from Keswick, Manesty Holiday Cottages is in the heart of the Lake District. The elevated situation gives magnificent views across Borrowdale, and the extensive well kept grounds are attractive all year round. Less than a mile from the shores of Derwentwater, Manesty is one of the most peaceful corners of Borrowdale. The picturesque village of Grange is 3/4 mile away. Manesty has been in the Leyland family for six generations, so we are a mine of local knowledge. Our ‘walks from the door’ are just one example of how we can help you make the most of your Lake District self catering holiday. We look forward to welcoming you.

Walks from the door to fells, lake shore, woodlands and riverside. Wood fired hot tub. Wireless internet.
