A great property close to all amenities.
This was our first stay at Coleridge cottage and it won't be our last. All the bedrooms were a good size and the beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious with a great shower and plenty of hot water. The kitchen was really well equipped with everything you could need. The living and dining rooms were perfect for relaxing after a day walking the fells as was the sunny outside area. The weather was perfect but there were plenty of books and boardgames for when the weather isn't so good. We also appreciated the doggy welcome pack. The communication before our arrival and the information provided by the agency was first class. We can highly recommend Coleridge cottage.

Hello David! Thank you for your lovely review of Coleridge Cottage. We're delighted to hear that your first stay was such a success and that the cottage provided everything you needed for a comfortable and relaxing Lake District break. It's wonderful to know that you found the property so well equipped and enjoyed returning to a welcoming space after days spent exploring the fells. We're also pleased that the doggy welcome pack was appreciated and that the information and communication from our team helped make your stay as smooth as possible from the outset. On your next visit, we'd highly recommend a walk along the old railway path to Threlkeld, finishing with a visit to the excellent Threlkeld Coffee Shop for a well-earned refreshment. Thank you again for your kind recommendation, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Coleridge Cottage and the Lake District again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great location, property spacious, clean and as described Responsive hosts and lots of helpful information available
Facilities, decor, welcome pack especially for the dog was a lovely touch, best location as quick walk to town but quiet at night.
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!
