Description

Styled to a beautiful high standard, the Townhouses offer you the option to stay together with friends or family in your very own private Keswick cottage.

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 out over three floors for space, comfort and privacy.

On the ground floor, there is a spacious bedroom with king-size bed, a well-stocked kitchen teamed with rustic bench and seating, and also a shower room to the back of the house. 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 flatscreen Smart TV permits access to Netflix, Now TV, Amazon Prime (please bring your subscription details to log in to these services) as well as a DVD player and normal TV channels. Also on the first floor is the main family bathroom, and a double bedroom. Cole and Lewis bathroom toiletries are offered in the bath and shower rooms, together with fresh towels.

The twin bedroom is on the second floor and can be made up as super-king on request (please be aware there is a £15 charge for this service), along with another double bedroom.

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

Each house has its own private outdoor area, with seating, 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, and 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.5 have the convenience of two complimentary parking permits to the adjacent long stay car park.

Please note the Townhouses are not available for hen or stag events.

Keswick offers plenty of activities and amenities for your stay. Whether you're looking for adventure activities, retail therapy, or new and exciting things to do, there's something to keep everyone entertained.

Need to stock up on groceries for your self-catering Keswick holiday? Booths and Co-Op are Keswick's two main supermarkets, with produce also available on the Keswick Markets.

If you're looking to venture out into the Lake District without a car, Keswick is serviced by the X4 and X5 bus services, running all the way from Workington to Penrith, linking Keswick to local train stations

Summer Holiday
We really enjoyed our summer stay here ss a family of four with a dog. Very central location. Clean and comfortable location. Parking permits are provided for the long stay car parks - the closest is basically across the street but it does make loading/unloading luggage tricky, particularly if you had mobility issues. Parking spaces are not reserved for the accommodation. Overall an excellent holiday!

Hi there! Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you and your family (including your dog!) had such an enjoyable summer stay. It’s great to know you found the property clean, comfortable, and in such a convenient central location for making the most of Keswick and the surrounding area. Thank you as well for your helpful comments regarding the parking. As you mention, parking permits are provided for the nearby long-stay car parks, with the closest being just across the road. While this is a convenient arrangement for most guests, we appreciate that loading and unloading can be a little more challenging, particularly for those with mobility concerns. We’re so pleased these were only minor observations and that you had an excellent holiday overall. Thank you again for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’d be delighted to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

2 couples staying at the end of June, weather generally good.
Historic reviews on this property have been mixed but we really enjoyed our stay. The property is located on a busy road but very conveniently close to Keswick town centre with its shops, restaurants and pobs. The long stay car park is c100m. Be aware there is a bus stop outside the property. There is road noise but we were out during the day and we were not disturbed at night. The layout of the property is slightly unusual with the lounge on the middle floor but this takes advantage of the impressive distant hill views. The lounge was comfortable. We used the double bedroom on the ground floor which was spacious and the bed comfortable. The bathroom with shower was the other side of the kitchen and all worked well. The kitchen was well equipped. The second bedroom used was on the top floor. Again, this was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom on the middle floor included a shower which worked well. The outdoor space is very limited and not particularly attractive and, as such, we didn't use. Instead we enjoyed early evening drinks in the outdoor area of Keswick Brewing Company (100m away, near the car park). Overall, the property was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The App supplied was detailed with clear instructions. We really enjoyed out stay.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your detailed and balanced review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the property clean, comfortable, and well equipped. It’s great to know the location worked so well for you, with Keswick’s shops, restaurants, and amenities all within easy reach. As you mention, the property is situated on a main road and close to a bus stop, so we really appreciate you sharing your experience that, while there is some daytime road noise, it wasn't disruptive at night. We’re also pleased the layout suited your stay. The split-level design is a little unusual, but it does make the most of those wonderful fell views from the lounge, and it’s lovely to hear you found both the bedrooms spacious and comfortable. Thank you as well for mentioning the outdoor space. Whilst it is quite limited, it sounds as though you found an excellent alternative at Keswick Brewing Company — a great local spot! It’s particularly reassuring to hear that, despite some of the mixed historic reviews you had read, the property exceeded your expectations and provided an enjoyable stay. We’re also delighted that you found the guest app helpful and easy to follow. Thank you again for taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. We’d be very happy to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Spacious and well located
Enjoyed our stay, (4 adults) plenty of space and very handy for the town. Downstairs bedroom is handy for those who can't manage the stairs but the bed is very creaky.

Hi there! Thank you for your review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the property spacious and well located for enjoying everything Keswick has to offer. It’s great to know the ground-floor bedroom was a useful feature too. Thank you for mentioning the bed — we're pleased to say this has now been replaced, so future guests can enjoy an even more comfortable night's sleep. Thank you again for your feedback, and we’re so pleased you had an enjoyable stay overall. We’d be delighted to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
