Hawse End is a traditionally built stone cottage located at the head of the magnificent Borrowdale valley, and overlooking picturesque Derwentwater. There's lots to do in the area, the bunkhouse is across the lake from the popular market town of Keswick, which is easily accessed from the launch or lakeside walk.
Keswick is also home to the 'Theatre by the Lake' one of the most beautifully located theatres in England.
