Incredible
I was going to title this review no words! However I do have plenty!!! Im just not sure they'll be enough. What a beautiful weekend we had. Not only was the cottage absolutely stunning both inside and out byt the support we had from the keswick cottage team were second to none. The cottage itself was better then we pictured from both the images we saw and descriptions provided. It qas so spacious and beautiful. It was so clean on arrival and the added extra of a Christmas tree just made it extra special. All the details provided on how to look after the cottage, attractions near by, what to do and extras * such as additional parking, wood provided just made it hassle free, no stress and felt like home!!! We had an amazing weekend. We visit keswick all the time and have done for years and years and I nust say this time everything felt so homely and made us all feel so content and happy. But the team are the real star of the show here.... nothing was to big or small. They were so supportive, considerate, thoughtful, kind, attentive and made our stay that extra special. Any questions were answered so quickly and were always there for help if needed (although we didnt need anything whilst there). Everything down to direction to the cottage and parking were so detailed and nothing was missed. I dont think myself, friends and family will ever book with anyone else again! Thank you so much for the team for making our little Christmas girls weekend extra special. :)
Well located with a good social space
In the heart of Keswick with beautiful views. Supermarkets a few minutes away. Good social space downstairs, with a log burner. Good sized, comfortable bedrooms. Would definitely return

Hi, Helen! Thank you for your review of Coleridge Cottage. It sounds like you've had a great time! There's lots to love about Coleridge, but we do love the log burner lots. We hope you'll choose to stay with us again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

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

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
