Recent Vacation 2024
As ever the stay at the cottage was excellent in our eyes. As usual the property was spick and span with all the necessary items to have an enjoyable stay. The property is within walking distance to the town centre, Booths and Derwentwater, hence why we choose the property yet again for our stay. The only issue that we didn't realise this time, was that the car could not be parked in carpark opposite the house as we could do in the past. This was our error in not reading the full description of the property which did mention the change. We parked in the Central Carpark for the duration of our holiday with no issues.

Thank you so much for this 5-star review! We love that you're returning guests to Coleridge Cottage and that the cottage was excellent as usual. The location of the cottage is ideal for a short stroll to the town centre, booths or to the shore of Derwentwater. The complimentary digital parking permit is for any of the long stay car parks and its a great bonus to have. We hope you had a wonderful time during your stay at Coleridge Cottage again. We hope to see you again in the near future! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Lovely cottage in a great location. This is our second time staying at Coleridge as this would be our cottage of choice depending on availability.

Thank you so much for this lovely review! We love that you are returning guests to Coleridge Cottage and that it is your favourite place to stay! The views of the fells from the bedroom windows are stunning and the welcoming wood-burning stove is perfect for when the nights start to get colder! We hope you had a wonderful time and we can't wait to welcome you back when you next visit Keswick! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

We have stayed at Coleridge Cottage before but on this visit we were pretty disappointed and will not be booking it again. The lack of adequate parking close to the property is a major draw back especially when unloading and loading gear. Cleanliness of the cottage was not great either, badly stained rugs, discarded sweet wrappers, human hair, corroded cutlery, chipped mugs, old dried food on cutlery and plates. Although disappointing it did ruin our holiday and having stayed with Keswick Cottages before we know this is not their normal standard of delivery but we will not be booking Coleridge again.

Very comfortable cottage. very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Good location and handy for shops, pubs etc bit of a pain not having on site parking and easy access to unload and load luggage. Great service from Keswick Cottages, as ever!
Keswick Cottages were excellent throughout. The cottage was clean, comfortable and spacious. A bit like the Tardis, it seemed much bigger on the inside than from the outside. Our party was 2 couples & a single plus 1 dog. The bedrooms were ideal for us. There is only 1 bathroom but it has a really good shower. The lounge & dining area were very spacious with lots of comfortable seating. The kitchen is very well equipped and has all you would need. Best of all is the location. It is 1 minute from the Co-op, 2 minutes from Booths supermarket and the bus station. There are lots of pubs & eating places within 5 minutes. Overall we were delighted with the cottage and recommend it highly.
2nd stay in this lovely house. The location on the very edge of town is perfect for a diverse group , everyone can go out of the front door and do whatever they want then meet up later for a meal at the massive dining table. Great to get a parking permit as we hardly used the car.
