Highly Recommended
Great cottage - well equipped, comfortable and conveniently located, with its own off street parking spot. The cottage is located close to Keswick town centre and only a couple of minutes walk from Booths Supermarket but it's well off the main streets and by the river do it's really quiet and peaceful. The USP is that the owners encourage you to put out bird food (provided) and if you do you'll be rewarded with visits from all kinds of birds - including some pretty tame pheasants who aren't adverse to trapping on the patio doors to remind you to feed them! There are also rabbits that visit regularly. The cottage itself is very comfortable and well equipped, clean and maintained to a high standard. Keswick Cottages are great to deal with. They have a very good web site and provide you with plenty of information about the cottage and local attractions and amenities. All in all highly recommended.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your fantastic and detailed review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage comfortable, well equipped, and maintained to such a high standard. It’s wonderful to know the location worked so perfectly for you too. Being just a short walk from Keswick town centre and Booths, whilst tucked away in a peaceful riverside setting, really does offer the best of both worlds. We absolutely loved reading about the wildlife visitors! The birds, rabbits, and of course the resident pheasants certainly have plenty of character, and we're so pleased you were able to enjoy them. It's one of those unique touches that makes the cottage extra special and memorable for so many guests. [Emoji Removed] Thank you as well for your kind words about Keswick Cottages. As a small, local, family-run business, we take great pride in making the booking process as easy as possible and providing plenty of information to help guests make the most of their stay, so it's lovely to know that was appreciated. Thank you again for your recommendation. We’re delighted you had such an enjoyable stay and would be absolutely thrilled to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great place to stay
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Quaver Cottage. Spotlessly clean, very well equipped, excellent location. The patio and back lawn are a lovely sun trap. We will definitely be back.

Cosy, comfortable accommodation in the heart of Keswick
Quaver Cottage is a modern, well-equipped townhouse in a quiet location, within a few hundred yards of central Keswick. Booking was easy, and a PDF guide was sent in the week before arrival, with all necessary information. Although it should be possible to download the document I somehow only saved a bookmark, which was useless without the wi-fi password - so I strongly recommend writing down or printing the street address, key safe code and wi-fi password in case technology lets you down. The accommodation is as well equipped as a modern home, clean and comfortable. We very much appreciated our own parking place, and access to a lockable visitor's parking place in case friends or family visit. The living room and main bedroom look out onto a small lawn behind which are shrubs and trees, and the River Greta out of sight. The garden has delightful visitors, including rabbits, garden birds and pheasants. Feed for the birds & animals is thoughtfully supplied. Central heating was easy to use, which is essential in Cumbria's unpredictable weather! All in all, we had an enjoyable stay and would thoroughly recommend Quaver Cottage.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your wonderful and detailed review — it was a real pleasure to read. We’re delighted to hear you found Quaver Cottage to be so well equipped, comfortable, and in such a peaceful yet convenient location. Being just a short walk from the centre of Keswick while still enjoying that quieter setting really is something special. It’s great to know the booking process and pre?arrival PDF guide worked well for you, and we really appreciate your helpful tip for future guests about noting down key access details — a very sensible suggestion and one we’ll keep reinforcing. We’re also so pleased you enjoyed the outlook from the cottage. The garden wildlife really does add an extra charm, and it’s lovely to hear the birds, rabbits, and pheasants made an appearance during your stay. It’s fantastic to know the cottage had everything you needed, from the heating (always important in Cumbria!) to the parking arrangements, which we know are a real bonus in Keswick. Thank you again for your kind recommendation — it truly means a lot to us as a small, independent business. We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back to Quaver Cottage in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

The perfect spot! We loved our time at Quaver cottage. It’s clean, beautiful and has comfy beds. Perfect location to get to town a surrounding sites. Happy to recommend and will definitely be visiting again.
I very much enjoyed my stay at Quaver Cottage. It’s in a quiet area yet very close to all the amenities of Keswick. Free parking is a definite bonus. The cottage is extremely clean and extremely well equipped. As it is someone’s holiday home it is more cosy and homely than some other more corporate places. The cottage is close to the river and the garden attracts a lot of birds. I thoroughly enjoyed watching a family of pheasants hanging out in the garden and I think it’s the first time I’ve seen rabbits just outside my back door! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this place - I thought it was great.
A fabulous cottage in a wonderful location, just a couple of minutes from the centre but really quiet despite that. I felt at home immediately and it was really cosy and clean.
