Description

Elm Cottage is a truly wonderful Lakeland residence from which to enjoy your holiday!

This pretty, two-bedroomed detached cottage is ideally situated within the popular and highly sought after area of Elliott Park in Keswick town centre.The location is peaceful yet makes an ideal base for exploring with walks from the doorstep, the vibrant shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants only minutes away, and Booth’s supermarket (which has an electric car charging point) and E-Venture shop for easy bike hire are minutes away.

The living room is a lovely place to relax and unwind after a day of adventures, with two comfortable leather sofas, quality oak furniture and French doors overlooking the garden area (table and chairs are provided).

The modern kitchen is well equipped with plenty of cookware, cupboard and worktop space. There is a fridge-freezer, gas cooker, washer-dryer, dishwasher, microwave, and a Tassimo coffee machine.

Upstairs, there are two pretty bedrooms, one large twin room and a smaller double room. The twin room is very spacious and has two single beds (which can be made up as a super-king for an additional charge), wardrobe, drawers, and bed-side cabinets. The double room has a double bed, wardrobe, and drawer space. Both bedrooms will be dressed in cool crisp linen and fresh towels for your arrival.

The flexibility of bed configuration makes the cottage an excellent choice for families, couples or walkers requiring a bedroom each.

The bathroom is newly refurbished with shower over bath.

Guests will not need to worry about where to leave their car as there is a private allocated car parking space.

Complimentary WiFi.

Being only about 15 yards away from Quaver Cottage may prove ideal for two families wishing to holiday together but not to be in the same house.

Reviews

Great location
We booked for the location and parking and were very happy with both. Access to Booths, buses and Keswick centre all excellent. The cottage was well equipped throughout and kitchen and bathroom good. The pottery and cutlery required up, (2) to dish was most days. No special cooking facilities eg blender. Had to ask what the coffee maker make was - nothing on line or in the house manual -there isn't one. It was Tassimo! We had to wait to a while to download (O2 poor as usual) the manual to find the wifi password. We forgot to download the manual. Most we have stayed in have a card 6” x 4” in a pic frame. The on line facility was very good but lacked some fine details. Now the bad bits. The lounge sofas were very poor and well past their use date (esp in this price bracket). We paid for the singles to be put into super king mode (paying was a first). The beds were awful too hard lumpy and prevented a comfortable nights sleep (again not what I expect in this price bracket). These two failures meant it was not comfortable to sit in the cottage or sleep in it, so we left two days early. The bathroom had a smart light up mirror but very little space to store bathroom essentials and was also missing a shaver point. Lastly the tv was a smart tv but so old (2016 model) that it was from the Samsung hates Apple era so no mirroring from my iPhone. Luckily there was working iPlayer and Netflix so bring a FireTV stick! We enjoyed our stay in Keswick - the cafes, shops lake and no worries about parking.
Great Location for a walking base
Elm Cottage had everything we needed in the kitchen. One bedside lamp was not working. Beds were very comfortable. The only downside was that the house is quite dark inside during the day. Next door to a very good supermarket. Parking was a definite benefit.

Thank you for your review, Eimer. We're delighted to hear that Elm Cottage worked so well as a base for your walking holiday and that you found the beds comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, and the parking such a benefit. Having a supermarket right next door is certainly handy too. We appreciate you bringing the bedside lamp to our attention, as well as sharing your thoughts on the natural light in the cottage. We will definitely pass this information on and do our best to fix it as soon as possible. If you're back in Keswick, we'd recommend the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trail, a beautiful and accessible walk with lovely views along the way. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience, and we hope to welcome you back to Elm Cottage in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

a great stay
We had a great week at Elm cottage with all we needed. One bedside lamp did not work even with new bulb. A runner inside the front door would make taking shoes off easier

Hi Anne, Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear you had a great week at Elm Cottage and that you found everything you needed for an enjoyable stay. Thank you as well for letting us know about the bedside lamp. We'll get this checked over, as it sounds like the issue is more than just the bulb. We also appreciate your suggestion about having a runner inside the front door. That's a great idea, especially for making it easier to remove shoes on arrival, and we'll be sure to pass this feedback on to the owners. Thanks again for taking the time to share your comments. We hope to welcome you back to Elm Cottage again soon! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
