lake district cottages?

Quoted message said:

Could anyone recommend a holiday cottage in the Lakes ?
I am considering having a walking holiday, but not sure about camping
TBH.
Google is full of booking sites, so a personal recommendation would be
nice.
Also I have only found a couple that offer WIFI Internet.. has any one
stayed at one offering this ?
I'm after a f 'home from home' experience I think :-)

I have used Keswick Cottages for a few years, stayed in most of them, and I
cannot fault them. See http://www.legend.yorks.com/~keswick/

Many have open fires for that comfy night on cooler evenings, all are
furnished to a high standard ..... but not the cheapest!

Now, as the name implies, all their cottages are in Keswick or close to
Keswick. We tend to stay in Braithwaite village along the A66 from Keswick.
Quite a few there, plus the Coledale Inn is great for beer and food. Plenty
of walking from the doorstep too.

Not been in any with WIFI though ... and not been lucky enough to get an
'open' network either.

Staying with them for 2 weeks in Sep (Keswick) and 1 week in November
(Portinscale) .... planning the walks already!

We've used these in the lakes and in Devon & Cornwall. Always been very
happy with them.

We've stayed at Burns Farm near Keswick a couple of times:

Try contacting the Langdale Hotel & Country Club. I believe they have some
cottages in Elterwater village. You also get the use of their leisure
facilities as well as access to a couple of nice restaurants on their site.
They also have WiFi.

It may be worth asking about their special breaks in their hotel. Depending
on when you want to go it can be quite reasonable.

Nice walking straight from the door, no need to take the car anywhere if you
don't want to.

Cheers

Jem

Many thanks Jem, and for every one who took the time to reply, I'm
all booked up now !
