About this property

Coleridge Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 5 guests in 3 bedrooms

  • Built in 1880, this traditional Lakeland cottage was originally constructed to house teachers in the old school (now the Rawnsley Centre) opposite. Retaining many original features, and simple stylish decoration, this centrally located house has views of Skiddaw and Latrigg to the front, and a magnificent mountain vista to the rear. The property is a mere two minutes' walk to the heart of Keswick.

    The ground floor, slate-floored throughout, comprises an entrance hallway, leading into a bright and spacious open plan sitting room and dining room, with Smart TV/DVD/WiFi facilities, and a welcoming wood-burning stove.The dining room looks out onto the enclosed stone-walled yard, which is perfect to enjoy sunny breakfasts and barbecues.

    The modern and well equipped slate floored kitchen features a gas hob with electric oven, dishwasher and microwave, and a downstairs cloakroom leading off the kitchen has a WC, sink and washing machine.

    Upstairs the master bedroom, with views of Catbells and beyond, boasts a king-sized bed and plenty of storage space.

    A second double room features twin beds and similarly dramatic views.

    The third bedroom, looking out onto Latrigg, has a single/small double bed. All bedrooms include cool cotton linens and towels.

    The luxury wood paneled shower room comprises a large walk-in shower, WC and hand basin.

    Additionally there is an outbuilding to the rear where bicycles may be securely stored (please bring own lock) and shared garden. Parking permit is provided for car park opposite.

Great place

Great place to stay. Very clean and spacious. Bike shed is a bonus and parking near by. On the main road but frosted front window so still feels private.

Coleridge cottage

We had a lovely stay. Perfect location. Great size. Nice and homely. Beds comfy. Kitchen Well equipped. We had doggy welcome packs and an essentials kit. Milk coffee etc. very useful arriving late. Close parking and bonus car park across the way. Downsides…. The shower didn’t drain great and the overall cleanliness could have been better. For us a grassed area would have been handy for fussy dogs but we just went over the road. None of the minuses would stop us from re booking. Keswick cottages communication was great. Emails easy to understand and replied to quickly. Over all a nice week spent with family in the place we love. Thank you

Wonderful few days away in a perfect location.

Wonderful few days away in Coleridge Cottage. Location was perfect with parking just a short walk away. I didn’t use the car once while here. An abundance of walks right from the doorstep. Although the property is on a main road into Keswick it was so quiet and peaceful. Just a five minute stroll into town centre. Everything about the property was excellent except that with one shower and toilet upstairs and one toilet downstairs, it might have been a bit difficult with a family or group staying there. Communication with Keswick Cottages was excellent. All information given before and after stay made it very easy. I couldn’t get TV to work (followed instructions) but didn’t contact anyone as I decided to enjoy the peace and quiet! Overall a fantastic stay in a great location.

Coleridge Cottage.

A lovely cottage in a handy location close to the town centre. Parking 300 yards away so difficult to unload and load up as double yellow lines outside. Internally very nice and a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. All in all highly recommended but be aware of the parking issue.

Great location

Just on the edge of town, close to the shops and pubs. Parking a little walk away in town but not a huge issue until it rains! House was spotless. Customer service quick and always friendly.

Recent Vacation 2024

As ever the stay at the cottage was excellent in our eyes. As usual the property was spick and span with all the necessary items to have an enjoyable stay. The property is within walking distance to the town centre, Booths and Derwentwater, hence why we choose the property yet again for our stay. The only issue that we didn't realise this time, was that the car could not be parked in carpark opposite the house as we could do in the past. This was our error in not reading the full description of the property which did mention the change. We parked in the Central Carpark for the duration of our holiday with no issues.

A lovely, spacious cottege in a great location.

We had a lovely week stay at Coleridge cottage. It is ideally situated, being a short stroll into Keswick town centre. Unloading the cars with our belongings took about 10 minutes, shuttling it across from the carpark, directly opposite. The road is quite busy, but there is a pedestrian crossing, roughly 50m from the cottage, making it a safe process. The cottage itself was very clean and well equipped and we took advantage of using the log burner on a couple of occasions, which was nice. Plenty of room in the Kitchen, which was also well equiped. I would suggest a vew more glasses/ tumblers, for that nightcap ;) (Brandy, whiskey, Baileys etc) & would also recommend the provision of a First aid kit and possibly a wall mounted rechargable torch, for those late evening, dark dog toilet breaks . We used the grassy areas, directly across the road from this purpose, which was ideal. All in all, an excellent place to stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Highly recommended

Coleridge Cottage is a fabulous property. The location is great being close to shops, pubs, eateries, walks and local attractions and easy to find on arrival. The cottage is spacious yet homely, furnished to a lovely standard and well maintained. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need whether you want takeaways, to cook a roast dinner or bake scones and the dishwasher to clean it all up for you. The separate utility room was a great bonus with downstairs toilet, washing machine and full size kitchen sink. The outside courtyard was lovely too as we were lucky to have lovely weather and could leave the back door open so the dog could be nosey and look through the gate, we didn’t use the garden table and chairs outside on our stay. The house was always warm even on the chilly mornings and we found no need to use the log burner. It was good to have a folder with all manuals for appliances in the lounge drawer. There was a great selection of books, puzzles and games should you need to occupy yourself with those. The wifi signal is strong and consistent throughout the property including the outside courtyard. Long stay public permit parking is not next to the property but only a few minutes walk away due to the great location of the property. Free parking on public roads can be found in various locations nearby too. All in all we (4 adults and a dog) would recommend Coleridge Cottage and be happy to stay here again. Keswick Cottages are also fantastic to deal with when booking a holiday stay.

Needs a clean

Location is ideal but cleanliness is not to the standard we are used to when booking with Keswick cottages. Cobwebs in living area , dust on sofas and tables. Walls could do with painting too. None of these are huge issues just annoyances as was the fact we had to buy batteries for the central heating thermostat to maintain the heating and hot water. Fortunately one of our party is a heating engineer so knew how to fix the problem. Reasonably well equipped and it wouldn’t take much to have changed this review to a 5 star one.

Perfect location

2nd stay in this lovely house. The location on the very edge of town is perfect for a diverse group , everyone can go out of the front door and do whatever they want then meet up later for a meal at the massive dining table. Great to get a parking permit as we hardly used the car.

Coleridge Cottage

We have stayed at Coleridge Cottage before but on this visit we were pretty disappointed and will not be booking it again. The lack of adequate parking close to the property is a major draw back especially when unloading and loading gear. Cleanliness of the cottage was not great either, badly stained rugs, discarded sweet wrappers, human hair, corroded cutlery, chipped mugs, old dried food on cutlery and plates. Although disappointing it did ruin our holiday and having stayed with Keswick Cottages before we know this is not their normal standard of delivery but we will not be booking Coleridge again.
