Welcome to Croftlands Cottages

Lake District holiday cottages located close to Keswick, Bassenthwaite, Whinlatter and Cockermouth with superb views and walks from the door

Croftlands Cottages are three family owned and run self-catering cottages in the Northern Lake District National Park. They are located in the beautiful and peaceful village of Thornthwaite not far from Derwentwater and the popular market town of Keswick.

Fox Howe and Squirrel cottages sit next door to each other with a shared private off road parking area. Jasmine cottage is located just around the corner in the heart of the village.

Currently all three of our holiday cottages are dog friendly. From 2024 we will continue to welcome dogs in Fox Howe and Jasmine but Squirrel will become our dog free cottage.
