Keswick Cottages must be doing something right!

As good (and it was very good) as the first time we stayed here - 14 years of annual visits. Long may it continue.

Our 11th stay at Birchgate

We wouldn't stay anywhere else in Keswick. The cottage has everything we need for a great Holiday. We are coming back in November and have already booked for Spring 2026 too. The cottage is very comfortable, in an ideal location and has everything you need for a great stay.

Well positioned, good for small damilies

House is well situated, very near the park and a short walk to town. Access & parking is tight for cars but manageable. Lots of great walks nearby. Good shower, house was clean & good welcome pack.

Lovely cottage in Keswick

Ideal location for walks in and around Keswick. The cottage was perfect for the two of us with the added advantage of off road parking.
Stayed 6 nights in Aug 2024

Cosy cottage

Cottage was warm and clean, conveniently located with small but adequate parking space. Whole process for booking and gaining entry was very smooth. Small but appreciated welcome pack even though we were only there for 3 nights was a great gesture. Would use Keswick Cottages again; like the local/personal feel they provide.

Lovely Cottage, Great Location

We have stayed at Birchgate many times and really enjoyed our stay each time. We particularly appreciate the location close to town centre in Keswick and parking on site. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable and we noted and enjoyed the various improvements and updates this year. Service from Keswick Cottages was friendly and efficient as always. We hope to return next year!

Quiet, comfortable and well equipped

Quiet location but still very convenient for the centre of town (less than 10 minutes walk). Well equipped kitchen. The bedrooms are conformable with plenty of storage. Front room well furnished and comfortable. Overall an excellent holiday cottage.

Excellent stay

Had a perfect week. Beautiful location just a short walk into central Keswick. Easy directions right to the parking space! Good communication throughout, clean and tidy, fluffy towels, sharp knives- a well equipped property. Big thanks to housekeeping staff.

An excellent base for exploring the Lakeland fells

Perfect for a couple or young family - 4 adults might find the accommodation a bit cramped. Not sure how warm the property would be for a Winter stay. As usual in an older property a little TLC would not go amiss in a few places but this in no way detracted from our stay.

Mid week stay

We have stayed at Birchgate many times over the years. On our last visit the property needed updating and redecoration. This has been carried out to a high standard and as a result we were extremely impressed and as a family had an excellent time. As usual excellent service from Keswick Cottages and we will definitely be back.

Doggie hols

Our elderly dog loved it, especially as there were large rugs on the laminate flooring so she didn’t slip. The location was perfect for her and loved her jaunts to the park opposite to watch for rabbits! The lake was within walking distance for her too.

Birchgate

We had a lovely stay at Birchgate. The cottage is really well equipped, especially the kitchen. It is cosy and warm. The cottage was spotless and tidy. Great to have parking and an enclosed garden. The location is great, right next to the park and the town centre. Loads of walks without having to take the car anywhere. We and our dog loved it and hope to stay again.

Birchgate Keswick

Have stayed many times before - a comfortable and cosy cottage with parking and close to Keswick centre. Plenty of walks from the door too. There were some dog hairs as pets are allowed. Overall, well equipped and furnished.

Another stay with Keswick Cottages

We enjoyed our stay at Birchgate Cottage, very comfortable clean and tidy. I did ring the office to say that the carpet area at the bottom of the stairs was very dirty they would have sent somone to clean but as it did not affect us we were happy to leave it . All in all a very enjoyable week. Parking space a bonus in Keswick!

Our 10th year at Birchgate, returning every year and now for 2 weeks.

A lovely cosy cottage not far from the centre of Keswick. Recently refurbished and the colour scheme changed to green. It has been updated without losing the cosy nature of the cottage. Has everything you need for a wonderful stay. Keswick Cottages staff are very helpful, professional and friendly and we wouldn't stay anywhere else in the Lake District. 10 out of 10 as always. Already booked again for 2025.

Excellent cottage close to town and well equipped

Our family of four (with 3 year old and 8 month old baby) loved our stay in this lovely cottage which was a bit larger than we were expecting. Having a parking spot on the drive is invaluable in the busy Keswick residential area and helped with quick hops in and out of the car if it was raining with the kids. The kitchen is very good, clean and well equipped. Super to have a dishwasher and good washer-dryer. Lounge nice and comfortable, good smart TV. Beds comfortable and bathroom a good size for kids bathtime. Would stay again.
