Description

Built in 1880, this traditional Lakeland cottage was originally constructed to house teachers in the old school (now the Rawnsley Centre) opposite. Retaining many original features, and simple stylish decoration, this centrally located house has views of Skiddaw and Latrigg to the front, and a magnificent mountain vista to the rear. The property is a mere two minutes' walk to the heart of Keswick.

The ground floor, slate-floored throughout, comprises an entrance hallway, leading into a bright and spacious open plan sitting room and dining room, with Smart TV/DVD/WiFi facilities, and a welcoming wood-burning stove.The dining room looks out onto the enclosed stone-walled yard, which is perfect to enjoy sunny breakfasts and barbecues.

The modern and well equipped slate floored kitchen features a gas hob with electric oven, dishwasher and microwave, and a downstairs cloakroom leading off the kitchen has a WC, sink and washing machine.

Upstairs the master bedroom, with views of Catbells and beyond, boasts a king-sized bed and plenty of storage space.

A second double room features twin beds and similarly dramatic views.

The third bedroom, looking out onto Latrigg, has a single/small double bed. All bedrooms include cool cotton linens and towels.

The luxury wood paneled shower room comprises a large walk-in shower, WC and hand basin.

Additionally there is an outbuilding to the rear where bicycles may be securely stored (please bring own lock).

A complimentary car parking permit is provided for guest use in a nearby private car park.

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.

Coleridge Cottage.
A lovely cottage in a handy location close to the town centre. Parking 300 yards away so difficult to unload and load up as double yellow lines outside. Internally very nice and a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. All in all highly recommended but be aware of the parking issue.

Hi Steve, Thank you for your review. Coleridge Cottage is in a great location, very close to the town centre and all of the shops and restaurants. The cottage itself is the perfect home from home and the log burner in the lounge makes it extra cosy. We hope the parking situation didn't affect your holiday too much and you still had a fantastic time. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Keswick , September 2025

great central location
Very spacious cottage. Well maintained. On the main street but not at all noisy. Very convenient for central Keswick facilities, 23 min walk. Would stay again for sure and Keswick cottage staff very helpful and knowledgeable. Parking nearby was easy.

Thank you so much for your review! Its great you found the cottage spacious and well maintained. Thank you for highlighting that despite being on the main road, it isn't noisy inside. Being located in central Keswick means you can leave the car and explore the town by foot. Thank you so much for your kind comments about our team, we really appreciate it! We hope you had a wonderful time and hope to welcome you again! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great place
Great place to stay. Very clean and spacious. Bike shed is a bonus and parking near by. On the main road but frosted front window so still feels private.

Thank you for your 5* review of Coleridge Cottage, we are happy to hear you had a lovely stay! Coleridge, despite being on the main road offers a peaceful retreat for it's guests, and is a stones throw from all Keswick's attractions and amenities. We hope you managed to enjoy some of the local bike trails too! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Nice cottage in central Keswick location on the main road. Kitchen well equipped & house comfortable for a group of 4 friends. Helpfully some free parking was provided in nearby cafe car park.
Lovely cottage, stayed here twice now 2022 & 2025. Fantastic location walking distance from town and centrally placed to drive to many lakes and forests. The cottage itself is always lovely and feels like home. The front bedroom is a little noisy being next to the main road so take some ear plugs. Overall great and would stay again.
Great couple of nights in lovely house. Management team very responsive and helpful too. Will Def come again
