Great home away from home
We had a great stay in Birchgate. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need for a great holiday. Parking our van in the drive was a bit tight but we managed. Definitely don't follow sat nav for the property details as it took us up a very small narrow drive, follow the instructions from the email! The only negative we would say would be the lack of bootroom/utility. Being the lakes it was wet and having a room to enter first with wet clothes, shoes and dog would be a bonus! But all in all it was a fabulous place to stay.

Thank you so much for your review! We're so happy you had a great stay at Birchgate and that it was well equipped with everything you needed. It is a wonderful cottage located in central Keswick. We hope to welcome you back again! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Our 10th year at Birchgate, returning every year and now for 2 weeks.
A lovely cosy cottage not far from the centre of Keswick. Recently refurbished and the colour scheme changed to green. It has been updated without losing the cosy nature of the cottage. Has everything you need for a wonderful stay. Keswick Cottages staff are very helpful, professional and friendly and we wouldn't stay anywhere else in the Lake District. 10 out of 10 as always. Already booked again for 2025.

Thank you so much for your 5-star review of Birchgate! We love that you're returning guests and that this was your 10th year here. We're so happy you liked the recent refurbishment and that it kept the cosy cottage theme. We are so glad you thought it was well equipped for your self catering holiday. Thank you so much for your kind comments about our customer service, as a small local agency we truly appreciate it. We are so pleased to know you had another wonderful stay at Birchgate and we can't wait to welcome you again next year! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Lovely stay
We had a lovely short break at Birchgate. It is very cosy and the open fire was great. Short walk into Keswick centre too. Would recommend.

Ideal location for walks in and around Keswick. The cottage was perfect for the two of us with the added advantage of off road parking.
Lovely little cottage in a perfect location! Everything the cottage was perfect and in a super location!
We've been coming to this cottage for over 10 years. It still ticks all the boxes. There's only two of us and we like to spread out so if you're like us you may feel a little cramped if there are four of you. My all-time favourite feature is that you have somewhere to park the car. If ever you've tried to do that in peak season in Keswick you'll understand why that is so good. My second favourite is that the cottage is tucked away in the town but within easy walking of all other parts, yet is is delightfully quiet.
