Cosy cottage, great location
Nicely equipped cottage in centre of Keswick right near the CoOp. In good condition and nice and clean. Well equipped but could do with a few more mugs etc. Lovely character to it and would book again. Parking is in the long stay car parks nearby or at Lakeside. Also a short stay across the road for an hour which was worth the £1.50 when we were popping in and out again. Also Booths have an hour free parking round the corner. Kingfisher fish and chips were excellent, Rookin’ house equestrian was great for a 2h hack for our 16yo, otherwise the fells were lovely as ever.

Thank you for your fabulous review, we're delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Coleridge Cottage. The location of the property is wonderful and so handy for the shops and restaurants, we're glad that you got to sample the delicious fish and chips!, it sounds like they were very well deserved after your adventures in the fells! Thank you for your feedback - we have now stocked the kitchen with more mugs :-) hopefully we will host you again for another Lakeland break soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Another great yearly visit to Keswick and Coleridge Cottage which is very well located. Coleridge is also ideal for groups as downstairs the lounge/dining area is all open plan

A lovely, spacious cottege in a great location.
We had a lovely week stay at Coleridge cottage. It is ideally situated, being a short stroll into Keswick town centre. Unloading the cars with our belongings took about 10 minutes, shuttling it across from the carpark, directly opposite. The road is quite busy, but there is a pedestrian crossing, roughly 50m from the cottage, making it a safe process. The cottage itself was very clean and well equipped and we took advantage of using the log burner on a couple of occasions, which was nice. Plenty of room in the Kitchen, which was also well equiped. I would suggest a vew more glasses/ tumblers, for that nightcap ;) (Brandy, whiskey, Baileys etc) & would also recommend the provision of a First aid kit and possibly a wall mounted rechargable torch, for those late evening, dark dog toilet breaks . We used the grassy areas, directly across the road from this purpose, which was ideal. All in all, an excellent place to stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Thank you for your fabulous review, we're really glad that you enjoyed your stay at Coleridge Cottage and got to make use of the log burning stove, it's certainly getting to the time of year for it. A nightcap in front of the fire sounds like a fabulous way to relax after a day out and we're sure that the pooch will have loved it too! Thank you also for your helpful comments and suggestions, we will be sure to pass these on to the owners. We hope to host you again soon for another Lakeland stay. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Extremely comfy spot thats in a great location for exploring Keswick and the surrounding area of the lake district. Felt like you were at home.
The cottage was lovely, cosy and clean. We had our booking changed at the last minute by the cottage, they were very accommodating to find us a new one.
Very comfortable cottage. very well equipped and spotlessly clean. Good location and handy for shops, pubs etc bit of a pain not having on site parking and easy access to unload and load luggage. Great service from Keswick Cottages, as ever!
