it was a great short stay
Very good location and we enjoyed our stay , very quiet and just what we needed for a relaxing time from the hussle and bussel of day to day life . its a thumbs up from us
Our 12th visit
We have been coming to Birchgate since 2015. Love the cottage and the location. Already booked for next year. Can't wait

Hi, Joanna! Wow, we're so glad that you're just as in love with Birchgate as we are! Twelve visits is seriously impressive; here's to thirteen! There's lots to fall in love with at Birchgate, but a few of our favourite things are the open fire, enclosed garden, and private parking. The biggest benefit is its location, as you said. No through traffic passes by this row of houses, making it perfect for a peaceful, relaxing break in the Lakes. We can't wait to welcome you again next year! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Our third time at Birchwood
We really like this cottage, it is dog friendly and has a real fire. We have stayed three times already so it feels like a second home. We love Keswick and the people there. We will book again next year.

Hi, Jemma! We're glad you enjoyed your fourth stay at Birchgate! We love dogs too, so we hope they enjoyed the complimentary 'pup pack', and that you enjoyed the 'welcome pack' we provide on arrival. The real fireplace is a great bonus, especially with all the horrible weather we've been having... Hopefully your next visit will be during better weather, where you can make full use of the enclosed garden, equipped with dining furniture and chiminea. Outdoor cushions and lantern are also provided for your enjoyment. To the rear there is another small, south-facing garden with more dining furniture and private parking for one car. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Lovely place to stay, a nice cottage within easy walk of Keswick town centre and Derwent Water.
Enjoyed the stay here, lovely place and will definitely be back. Has its own parking spot which is great because parking wasn’t the best in the surrounding areas.
What a perfect little place to stay. Just right size with lovely lounge with an open fire and close to Keswick centre. We enjoyed walks directly from the cottage so only drove once in the week. Hosts responsive and friendly and there was a little Xmas tree and few other decorations to make it feel homely and Christmassy. We loved staying there and would love to return.
