The Mouse House

Tucked away in the peaceful Newlands Valley near Keswick, The Mouse House is a charming stone cottage offering a truly special escape for two. Once a traditional barn on the historic Rowling End farm, this beautifully converted retreat blends rustic character with thoughtful modern comforts, creating an inviting base in one of the Lake District’s most scenic corners.

Upstairs, the spacious bedroom can be arranged as either a luxurious super-king double or twin beds, making it wonderfully flexible for couples or friends. The stylish en-suite shower room features a walk-in shower, basin, and WC, providing a calm and contemporary space to unwind after a day on the fells.

Downstairs, the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area has been designed with comfort firmly in mind. A wood-burning stove, complete with a complimentary basket of logs, creates a cozy atmosphere on cooler evenings, while the Smart TV with Apple TV and free high-speed WiFi ensure relaxing nights in. The well-equipped kitchen includes an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, and washer-dryer — everything you need for a carefree self-catering stay.

Outside, a private patio with garden seating offers lovely valley views and a peaceful place to relax. For an extra touch of indulgence, sink into the wood-fired hot tub beneath the stars. Dedicated parking for one car is provided, with EV charging available on site.

Perfect for romantic breaks, solo escapes, or a quiet getaway with a friend, The Mouse House also welcomes up to two well-behaved dogs. With wonderful walks straight from the door and breathtaking scenery all around, this is Lake District living at its most tranquil.
