Description

Styled to a beautiful high standard, No. 3 The Townhouses offers you the option to stay together with friends or family in your very own private Lakeland residence. Built at the turn of the century in the vernacular slate architecture, the Townhouses are warm and welcoming yet stylish, light and spacious. The houses are tastefully stocked to make your stay in the Lake District a pleasure. Many period features are retained and sympathetically restored, including original floor tiles, fireplaces and ceiling coving.

The four elegant bedrooms are spread over three floors, providing both space and comfort, including a kind size bed on the ground floor for those who prefer to avoid stairs.

A well-stocked kitchen teamed with walnut finish dining table makes a cosy location for breakfast or dinner. Essentials such as cutlery, utensils, cookware and appliances are paired with indulgent little extras such as an espresso machine.

The stylish living area is on the first floor with a log burning stove to complement the central heating enjoyed throughout. A flat screen smart TV permits access to services such as Netflix, Amazon Prime (please bring your subscription details to log in to these services) as well as a DVD player and normal TV channels.

Cole and Lewis bathroom toiletries are offered in both the main bathroom and the ground floor shower room, together with fresh complementary towels.

The twin bedroom is located on the 2nd floor with views over the northern mountains (it can be made up as super king on request at a supplement of £15).

High specification wifi is provided throughout for your convenience and connectivity to home.

No 3 has its own private outdoor area, with seating for 8 people to enjoy a meal or a glass of wine at the end of the day. The restaurants, wine bars, supermarkets and other diversions of Keswick are only a moment’s walk away yet the quietude of the fells can be experienced in under an hour’s walk or a few minutes’ drive. Windows open onto views of Skiddaw and Latrigg to the north and to Catbells over the rooftops of Keswick to the south. Visitors to No.3 have the benefit of two complimentary parking permits to the adjacent long stay car park at Otley Road. Please note, the Townhouses are not available for hen or stag events.

Keswick offers plenty of options to keep you occupied during your stay. For walkers the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trial which starts next to the Keswick Leisure centre is a 5 kilometre (10 kilometre there and back) walk along what was once a railway track. It offers beautiful views and is a multi-user trial suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs and mobility scooters. If you fancy something with a little more elevation and spectacular views, Latrigg and Walla Crag can be reached from your doorstep, and you can even tick off some Wainwrights! 10 minutes out of Keswick is Whinlatter forest, which offers a huge selection of walks and outdoor activities.

Keswick itself offers lots of amenities, from shops to cafés, pubs to theatres, you will be spoilt for choice.

Reviews

Great location at short notice.
Needed a 3/4 bed property at short notice for the May half term week and the lovely people at Keswick Cottages came up with this. Great location – on quite a main road into Keswick but the traffic noise didn't bother us at all as windows and doors are well insulated. Lovely lounge and great views from the upstairs bedrooms. Keswick Cottages were very helpful and provided an extra quilt we needed. The kitchen/diner is quite small for 8 people to sit around the table and the mismatch of odd chairs and a bench was a shame, but we managed OK. The main problem for us was that the ground floor double bedroom had an extremely noisy bedstead and uncomfortable mattress – it was impossible for one person to move a muscle without making a lot of noise and shaking and waking the other person. I think the first-floor bedroom was the same, but we only had one person in that. Other minor issues which may or may not bother other guests were: rear patio looking onto piles of other properties' rubbish; no cupboard space for food in the kitchen, no trays to carry food to the upstairs lounge; very weak wifi; TV can't show Netflix unless you have the old ad-free service; no change of sheets/towels after more than a week; no cleaning or clothes washing products provided; minimal “welcome pack” (Keswick Cottages do highlight this, so we were prepared, but seems very mean-spirited to provide only 2 toilet roles and 4 tea bags for an 8 person house for 10 days). But overall, enjoyed our 10 days there.
Great place and location
The property was perfect for us over the weekend. My only comments would be the beds are metal framed and very squeaky, and there were not enough seats for us to eat at the table together.

Thank you for your review of 3 the Townhouses, we are so glad to hear you had a great weekend stay in the property! 3 the Townhouses is a fantastic property for those wanting to explore Keswick; with its central location and use of two parking permits, it is easy to park up the car and leave it for the entirety of your stay! Thank you also for your feedback. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Fabulous location
We have just stayed for 3 nights in 3 The Townhouses. This was a lovely 4 bed property in a fabulous location, within easy walking distance of Keswick centre. The house was very clean and offered all the facilities that you required. Would stay again and would definitely recommend to my friends and family.

Thank you for your fabulous review, we're so glad that you enjoyed your stay at 3 The Townhouses! The location of the property couldn't be better, with all the shops and restaurants of Keswick just round the corner. We're glad that it ticked all the boxes for you and you had a comfortable stay, and we're looking forward to hosting you again in the future! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
