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.

Reviews

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.
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

Highly recommended
Coleridge Cottage is a fabulous property. The location is great being close to shops, pubs, eateries, walks and local attractions and easy to find on arrival. The cottage is spacious yet homely, furnished to a lovely standard and well maintained. The kitchen is very well equipped with everything you need whether you want takeaways, to cook a roast dinner or bake scones and the dishwasher to clean it all up for you. The separate utility room was a great bonus with downstairs toilet, washing machine and full size kitchen sink. The outside courtyard was lovely too as we were lucky to have lovely weather and could leave the back door open so the dog could be nosey and look through the gate, we didn't use the garden table and chairs outside on our stay. The house was always warm even on the chilly mornings and we found no need to use the log burner. It was good to have a folder with all manuals for appliances in the lounge drawer. There was a great selection of books, puzzles and games should you need to occupy yourself with those. The wifi signal is strong and consistent throughout the property including the outside courtyard. Long stay public permit parking is not next to the property but only a few minutes walk away due to the great location of the property. Free parking on public roads can be found in various locations nearby too. All in all we (4 adults and a dog) would recommend Coleridge Cottage and be happy to stay here again. Keswick Cottages are also fantastic to deal with when booking a holiday stay.

Thank you so much for your amazing 5* review of Coleridge Cottage, it sounds like you had a fabulous stay and it was a joy to read! You have described the cottage wonderfully; it is the ideal property for families and groups of friends to use as a base with its close proximity to Keswick and all that the town has to offer (with the perks of parking!). It also sounds like your pooch had a lovely time too! Thank you also for your kind words about our service, as a small family run business comments like these really do mean a lot to our hard-working team! We look forward to welcoming you back on your next Keswick visit! 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
