We had a great week's stay at Coleridge Cottage. The house has a spacious downstairs, with a big living/dining room and a kitchen that has pretty much one of everything. The bedrooms are decent sized and the beds well equipped with nice sheets and lots of pillows (they're comfortable, too!). We stayed in January, and very much enjoyed the fact that the heating warms the house up pretty quickly and that the shower runs nice and hot. Keswick Cottages were great with communication, giving us all the info we needed in plenty of time, and responding rapidly to emails. Basically, a fine stay, in a really good house, provided by really efficient people!
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.
