The Sett for 4:

The Sett is the largest of three self catering holiday cottages in Brackenrigg Barn, our beautiful converted barn. 

The woodland close to the barn is home to a family of badgers, which is why we chose the name for this delightful retreat!

The cottage is spacious, airy and well appointed. These little details make The Sett an extremely comfortable place to stay.

There is a master room (13’x11’) and a twin room (19’x11’) . There is a family bathroom with an over bath shower, basin and WC. After a day on the fells, the spacious open-plan living area is a great place to relax and unwind with two comfortable sofas to sink into.

The open-plan kitchen has plenty of space and is well equipped including oven and halogen hobs, microwave, fridgefreezer, and a dishwasher. There is also a breakfast bar perfect for when you’re in a hurry or feeding the kids.

At the entrance there is a seating area with plenty of space for your outdoor gear. The huge floor to ceiling windows fill the room with light and look out onto the pretty fellside garden with patio, garden furniture and BBQ, and you can watch for red squirrels visiting the feeder close to your cottage!

Brackenrigg is delightfully situated in the heart of the Lake District only two miles from Keswick and ten minutes drive from Grasmere. Our magnificent views span from Helvellyn to the Blencathra/Skiddaw range. Brackenrigg is set in acres of garden, meadow and our own woodland, home to deer, red squirrel and badgers. You can walk the fells from the door, or be in Borrowdale or the Langdales after only a short drive.

Directions

Coming by road, you have a choice! You can either leave the M6 at Jn 36, and travel up through the Lake District, or leave at Jn 40 and avoid it. In our experience, there is little difference in terms of the time it takes - it's about 45 mins from Jn 36, whether you come off the motorway there or stay on & exit at Jn 40 (unless you are travelling at a busy time of day, in which case the route thro' the lakes can take a little longer). The road thro' the Lakes is windy in places (which children may or may not appreciate), but does offer some lovely views (except, of course, at night!).

FROM JN 36

Follow signs for Windermere, then Ambleside and Keswick. After Ambleside, you'll pass Grasmere, and rise up a long hill (Dunmail Raise, which marks the border between Westmorland & Cumberland). It's about 10 minutes from here. After descending the other side of Dunmail Raise, you'll drive along the Eastern shore of Thirlmere, and then pass a long white pub on your right, The King's Head. Two-and-a-half miles to go. There's a short stretch of dual-carriageway, a mile or so after which you'll see "Brackenrigg", a lovely white house and barn, set back from the road on your left.

FROM JN 40

Follow signs for Keswick, along the A66. For most of the journey, the spectacular sight of "Blencathra" dominates the view. After about 15 miles, there's a turn-off for Keswick &

Windermere, A591. (Avoid the temptation to take the much earlier turn-off to Windermere). After a few hundred yards, you'll reach a "T" junction. Keswick is down the hill to your right, but you need to turn left up the hill towards Windermere. "Brackenrigg" is about 2.5 miles along here. You'll pass a large roadside farm on your right, Dale Bottom farm & caravan site on your left, and then "Brackenrigg" will appear through some trees on the right. The first gate (white, 5-bar) is permanently closed, the entrance is 60 yards further on
