This traditional market town is full of great things to discover.

Lovely comfortable spacious cottage, everything you would need. Ideal location, just a 2minute walk to town centre. Off-road parking a real benefit in Keswick too! Highly recommend for a family stay.

Wonderful cottage beautifully decorated, really well equipped and spotlessly clean.
Wonderful cottage beautifully decorated, really well equipped and spotlessly clean. Some lovely homely touches including a fabulous welcome pack and muscle relaxing bath salts made it feel like a real home from home. Located in a quiet side street but with everything Keswick has to offer right on the doorstep. Park handy for early morning and late night toilet stops for our 2 dogs. Perfect!
The property is very nicely equipped and has been recently been decorated in a charming manner. The location is excellent for Keswick. It's always a good sign when the kitchen for a holiday let is well stocked, and that is certainly the case here.
We had a couple niggles regarding some entry mats that smelled quite badly of animal urine - we had to put them outside the property due to the smell. Hopefully easily remedied. Also I think the property could benefit from strong internet connection as we weren't able to stream successfully on the TV at all times, and there is no freeview. Again, things that can be fixed. The owners clearly care about their guests and property so I would assume these issues will be addressed and I would certainly consider staying here again.
