Great location for exploring the Keswick area
Tawny cottage is clean, well equipped, and well located for exploring this area of the Lakes. It's walkable into Keswick so you don't need to take the car for shopping or pub trips and there is a great bus service from opposite The Chalet tearoom that takes you out to Buttermere via the starting points of many great walks! The Farmer's Arms is a welcoming pub - book in advance if it's peak times. And yeah, the bed is a bit hard and the parking a bit tight but overall a good, clean place to stay and we enjoyed it.

We had a lovely stay in Tawny Cottage. Spotlessly clean, well equipped and very comfortable. We loved the open fire - it was spacious but also cosy! Easy access to beautiful scenery and walking. Thanks for a great Christmas stay.

Thank you so much for this 5-star review! We are so happy you found it well equipped, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The open fire is a great feature of the property and adds to the cosiness of the cottage. We agree it is situated perfectly to explore the beautiful scenery. We hope you had a fantastic stay and we hope to welcome you back if you visit again. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Overall very good
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage. A couple of things would have made it better. It seemed very clean on the surface but we took our case down from the top of the wardrobe at the end of the week and it was very dusty, as we're some of the skirting boards. Also, I would have expected at least one spare toilet roll but we had to go out and buy some

Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay in Tawny Cottage. Thank you for letting us know about the cleanliness, we will let our cleaning team know and if you needed extra toilet paper, we do offer a package that includes extra toilet paper, bin bags, dishwasher tablets for a small charge. We hope you had a fantastic time exploring the Lake District and found Tawny Cottage the perfect place to enjoy your holiday at. We hope to welcome you back again. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

A great cottage, nicely furnished with comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen. It was well heated, making it very cozy to come back to, after day long hikes in the rain and definitely helped in drying clothes. Very nice welcome packages with tea/coffee and cleaning products.
