Great Cottage
The property was exactly what we needed as it was difficult to find a 4 bedroom house in Keswick for a reasonable price. We also liked the option of having twin beds in one of the bedrooms rather than a king-size bed. Parking was a bit tricky but we expected that. The communication from the company was excellent and if we return to Keswick we will book this house again.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear the property was exactly what you needed and that it provided plenty of space for your group at a reasonable price. It’s great to know the bedroom configuration worked well for you too. Having the option of twin beds can make a real difference for families and groups, so we're pleased that suited your requirements. Thank you as well for your comments regarding the parking. As you mention, parking can sometimes require a little manoeuvring in Keswick, but we’re glad it was as expected and didn’t detract from your stay. Your kind words about our communication mean a great deal to us. As a small, local, family-run business, we take pride in providing helpful information and support throughout the booking process, so it’s wonderful to hear that stood out. The fact that you would book the house again if you return to Keswick is the best compliment we could receive. We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great location, great amenities, a lovely place for a get away!
Excellent stay in a beautiful cottage, spacious living area and separate dining area with big table so we could all eat together. Good location with easy walk to town centre and to lakeside attractions
Incredible location and place to stay a few steps from the town and mountains. We loved our stay, especially the cool house (during summer heatwave), pristine kitchen, spacious entertaining and bedrooms. Hosts were responsive, helpful and welcome pack has more than enough information and details. Would 100% stay again!!
