Description

As you enter the cottage you walk directly into the spacious open plan lounge and dining area with wooden floors, dining table with four chairs, two leather sofas and the lovely gas burning stove which makes for a great feature in the lounge. This room gives a really inviting feel making it a real home from home.

The modern kitchen is very well equipped for the perfect self catering holiday with oven & hob, dishwasher, washer / dryer, fridge freezer and microwave.

Upstairs there are two pretty bedrooms. To the front of the cottage is the master bedroom with king size bed, and at the back of the cottage is the twin bedroom. Both rooms are well furnished and include luxury linen and towels.

The modern bathroom has a bath with shower over, hand basin and WC.

There is an enclosed patio with seating which makes a lovely place to relax on sunny days.

Complimentary Wi-Fi throughout.

Unrestricted parking is on street directly in front of the cottage.

Keswick offers plenty of options to keep you occupied during your stay. For walkers the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trial which starts next to the Keswick Leisure centre is a 5 kilometre (10 kilometre there and back) walk along what was once a railway track. It offers beautiful views and is a multi-user trial suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs and mobility scooters. If you fancy something with a little more elevation and spectacular views, Latrigg and Walla Crag can be reached from your doorstep, and you can even tick off some Wainwrights! 10 minutes out of Keswick is Whinlatter forest, which offers a huge selection of walks and outdoor activities.

Keswick itself offers lots of amenities, from shops to cafés, pubs to theatres, you will be spoilt for choice.

Return to Byways
We have stayed at Byways many times now. It's quiet but only a few minutes stroll into town. It was very clean as usual and improved by moving the double bed to a larger room. Kitchen is well equipped and has everything we need. A larger, more comfortable sofa would be beneficial after a long day walking. Customer service is efficient and friendly. We will return!

Thank you so much for you review of Byways! We love that you're returning guests and noticed the improvement of moving the double bed to the larger room. We are so happy like usual it was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped with everything you needed. Thank you for your suggestion about a larger, more comfortable sofa- we will pass this onto the owner. Thank you so much for you kind comment about our customer service, we really appreciate it and that you took the time to write this review. We can't wait for you to return! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great 3rd stay
This is our third stay at this property, and love its overall location, comfort and facilities. Everything in the property that you could need (love the family games/books). Our only slight issue is again with the overall cleanliness, which is unfortunately let down by some lack of attention to detail, e.g. dirty inside of kitchen exterior door, dust on surfaces where items have been dusted around rather than lifted up (top of fridge/shelves) and towel radiator in bathroom. We did initially have an issue with the Sky TV having a very restrictive child lock added - although this was resolved quickly on our second day by contacting the office and requesting the PIN code, but this should be provided as standard in the welcome pack.
Perfect few nights in Keswick
Cottage was clean and comfortable with everything required for a few nights away. Just a 10 minute stroll to the town centre.

Thank you for your lovely review of Byways, we hope you enjoyed your stay! Byways has a fantastic location, with a short walk into town but far enough away from the hustle and bustle, you can really relax! We hope to welcome you back soon! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Byways has been our favourite place to stay in Keswick for many years. Clean, cosy, comfortable, ideally equipped and closed to the town centre.
We’ve stayed in Byways 10+ times and it’s always brilliant. Very clean and well maintained, and this time had had a bit of a spruce up since we last visited in November. The bedrooms had been swapped over and a nice big king double had been added to the double room, very comfy and cosy. The downstairs had also had a lick of paint and was looking fresh. The only thing missing was the footstools which used to be in the lounge… they were very handy for resting aching legs after a day in the fells! As usual we had a great weeks stay in Byways and we’ll be back again later this year or in spring next year. Thanks :-)
I have booked three times now and never disappointed with the property and the facilities.
