Great Lake District location
The house was perfect for our short stay in Keswick. Very spacious, clean, well equipped, and comfortable. It's a short walk into the centre of Keswick, which has everything you could want for an easy day mooching around town. Also a great base for the whole north lakes area.

Perfect little bolt hole
Probably the nicest cottage we have stayed in for many years. Very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The small sunny garden was a bonus!

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.
