Great location.
We found the cottage very clean and comfortable. It has everything you'd need for a short break. The location is fantastic, a few steps away from Fitz park, which is very dog friendly and has 2 nice cafes. We didn't use the car all week as lots of walks straight from the door or easily accessible by bus or ferry. The long stay car park round the corner was fine and a permit comes with the cottage. We brought the car up to the house to load/unload it. It's a very short walk to town, and it's easy to get down to the Lakeside (maybe 10/15 minutes walk). We'd happily stay there again. Communication with Keswick cottages was impressively good and quick.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you found the cottage clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everything you needed for your stay. It’s wonderful to know you made the most of the fantastic location too. Being just steps from Fitz Park, within easy walking distance of the town centre and Derwentwater, and with so many walks, bus routes, and lake cruises accessible without needing the car really does make it a fantastic base for a Lake District holiday. We’re pleased to hear the parking arrangements worked well for you, and that having the permit included made things straightforward during your stay. Your kind words about our team mean a great deal to us as well. As a small, local, independent business, we pride ourselves on providing a personal and responsive service, so it’s lovely to hear that stood out during your stay. Thank you again for your recommendation. We’re delighted you had such an enjoyable week and would happily stay again — we’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Perfect Location!
This was our 3rd stay at Fairbank and we book it purely for the location: love the ease of access to the town centre, yet there's a feeling of being in the countryside due to the quiet lane and view of the river and park. The house is absolutely fine: the bed is comfy, it's warm and has a little suntrap of a garden at the back. If I were to suggest improvements it would be: provide a long length mirror and a large pot for cooking. We'll definitely be back!!!

Perfect for a car-free trip!
Another wonderful week in the Lakes, and a first time in a central location. Barely needed to move the car. Great customer service.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you had another wonderful week in the Lakes and that trying a more central location worked so well for you — being able to leave the car parked up and explore on foot really is a bonus. It’s also great to hear your kind words about our customer service; that really does mean a lot to our team. We’d be very happy to welcome you back again in the future, whether you choose central Keswick again or somewhere a little further out for a different experience. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
