Lovely stay
This house is just great, perfect for a few people to stay, clean, comfortable and warm. The mattress, shower and sofas were exactly as you'd expect from a Keswick Cottages property - thank you. Full crockery and kitchen supply and even a food cupboard! The dark kitchen wasn't to my taste but nothing wrong with it. The dining table is next to the window which gives a lot of light but also reduces privacy from neighbours, a minor niggle though in comparison to all the good bits, would happily stay again and the parking on St Herbert's Street is not as manic as other streets in that area

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, Sue. We're delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable stay at Byways and that it provided a comfortable base for your visit. Customer satisfaction is our main priority, so it's wonderful to know the property met your expectations overall. We also appreciate your helpful feedback regarding the dining area, as guest comments are invaluable in helping us continually improve. Thank you for choosing Keswick Cottages, and we'd be delighted to welcome you back again in the future. On your next visit, we highly recommend exploring Buttermere, one of the Lake District's most beautiful valleys, with its stunning lakeside walk, dramatic scenery and peaceful atmosphere. We hope to see you again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Excellent dog friendly property in a quiet but central location
Lovely dog friendly property, the location is great. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and the living area cosy. The outside space was nice and felt private with the surrounding shrubs and trees. Would have been great if the twin room could have been turned into a double, as adapting to sleeping in a single bed as an adult was a challenge (but that's just personal preference). Main bedroom very spacious with lots of storage. Good to have a gate on the stairs to stop the dogs from coming up. We had a fabulous stay,

Hi Kathryn, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review of Byways. We're so pleased to hear you had a fabulous stay and that both you and your dogs enjoyed the property. It's lovely to know you appreciated the peaceful yet central location, the well-equipped kitchen, cosy living area, private outdoor space, and thoughtful touches such as the stair gate. Thank you as well for your comments regarding the twin room. We understand that sleeping in a single bed isn't everyone's preference, and we appreciate you sharing your feedback. Reviews like yours are incredibly helpful to us and to future guests when choosing the right property for their stay. We hope to welcome you back to the Lakes again soon, perhaps with a visit to the beautiful Lingholm Estate and the shores of Derwentwater, which are perfect for a scenic dog walk. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Beautiful Cottage
It is a beautiful cottage and very well equipped. There were some lovely additional touches of a welcome pack and dog treats. Communication was good and the location is quiet even in the peak holiday period. It is very close to shops, cafes and the park. Throughly enjoyed the stay and have booked again for next year.

Excellent location, cosy property with everything you need.
The Side Garden that got the sun for most of the day and the close location to the town centre.
Byways has been our favourite place to stay in Keswick for many years. Clean, cosy, comfortable, ideally equipped and closed to the town centre.
