Good location
We very much enjoyed our stay in Byways, good location, easy walk into town and on road parking not a problem. We would definitely stay again. Always try and book with Keswick Cottages if we can.

Hello, Rob! We're glad you enjoyed your stay at Byways! The location is so convenient, isn't it? Especially the pub and shop being less than a mile away... All of this just contributes to the real homely nature of the property, the kitchen in particular is very well equipped for the perfect self-catering holiday with oven & hob, dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge freezer and microwave, so you can stay assured that we have everything you need to spend the evening cooking, if you don't opt to eat at the Twa Dogs nearby, or head into town, that is! We appreciate guests that choose to book with us again. It's a real testament to the love and care that we put into everything we do. We can't wait to see you again! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Clean, comfortable and convenient
A clean, comfortable house in a quiet location but only a short walk away from the town centre and restaurants, shops etc. The welcome pack was a nice touch, and particularly welcomed by our four-legged friend! Just a few minor issues: - the kitchen door doesn't close securely, so our small dog could easily push it open. The sneck needs adjust. - the stair 'gate' seems past its best. It was tricky to operate and the lock released only after several tries. - whilst it wasn't the weather for sitting out, the outside area, including the small yard, could do with a general clean-up. Despite these minor issues, we would probably stay here again.

Hi William, Thank you for your review. We hope you had a lovely stay at Byways and we're thrilled to hear that your pooch liked their pup-pack! Thank you for your comments regarding the door, stairgate and garden. We will pass them on to our maintenance team for them to rectify for future guests. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Hi Dave, Thank you for your lovely review. We're thrilled to hear that you have been coming to Byways for such a long time and intend to come next year. It is in the perfect location, especially if you have a pooch as Fitz Park is only a 5 minute walk away. We look forward to welcoming you back next year! 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.
