Threlkeld cottages on map

Threlkeld is a small chocolate box village settled just below the striking and steep face of Blencathra and above the picturesque valley of St John’s in the Vale. While four miles away sits the market town of Keswick. It’s home to a rich history dating back over 800 years and bares a name that is taken from the Norse saying ‘well of the thrall.’ Close to Castlerigg Stone Circle, Derwentwater and Grasmere, Threlkeld is a serene and secluded base for your next escape to the Lake District.

Offering access to the heart of the Northern Lakes and tracks and trails for all abilities, Threlkeld is the perfect spot for a summer staycation. While also a wonderful choice for a wintry break. With plenty of traditional pubs (complete with roaring fires) within walking distance of our holiday cottages. It is a small community – but a very welcoming one – and we’ve made sure our properties occupy prime locations for exploring the beauty of the surrounding areas.

Panoramic views and gentle strolls through St John’s in the Vale are a highlight of any stay here in Cumbria. With many routes perfect for younger families and offering opportunities for plenty of tail wag worthy walking. Our dog friendly holiday cottages in Threlkeld ensure no one gets left behind.

Threlkeld has a 16th century church at its heart and the two local pubs with a colourful history – the first opening its doors in 1688. Coupled with stunning valleys, tall peaks and plenty of opportunities to explore stunning natural attractions, such Lake Derwentwater and Castlerigg Stone Circle.
