Third Visit to Fairbank!
We have become creatures of habit, staying at Fairbank for the third year in a row. It has everything we need in terms of being a delightful cottage with all the facilities we need, nicely furnished (plenty of wardrobe space) decorated and excellent heating and hot water which is a must in February. Its located directly opposite Fitz Park and the river so it has a beautiful view from the kitchen and master bedroom. For us its brilliant for taking the dogs out especially for a quick walk first thing in the morning and last thing at night! Fairbank is just a 5 minute walk from Keswick Town, which we love. Lots of shops, great restaurants and friendly pubs. Basically to us Fairbank is the perfect cottage for us. If we could we would live there! I would also like to mention that Keswick Cottages provided us with excellent service. I had to change my booking due to a work commitment after I had made my initial booking. They were very helpful.

Hi Vanessa, Thank you so much for your wonderful review — it absolutely made our day! [Emoji Removed] It means the world to us that Fairbank has become your home-from-home, and we’re so happy to welcome you back for a third year. Hearing that the cottage continues to tick every box for you — from the cosy heating and plentiful hot water (a February essential!) to the lovely furnishings and that gorgeous view over Fitz Park — is just fantastic. We’re delighted the location works so perfectly for you and the dogs too. Those early-morning and late-night walks sound absolutely dreamy with the park and river right outside the door. And being just a few minutes’ stroll from the heart of Keswick really does make everything so easy, doesn’t it? Shops, restaurants, friendly pubs — it all adds to the magic. Your kind words about our team truly mean a lot. We were more than happy to help with your booking change, and we’re so pleased we could make everything smooth for you. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us year after year. Knowing that Fairbank feels like the perfect cottage — so perfect that you’d live there if you could! — is the best compliment we could ever hope for. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Stunning location
Ideally located just yards away from the footbridge over the Greta into Fitz Park. A beautifully decorated cottage, very comfortable and a great place to stay. Beds very comfortable, and having the sound of the river flowing by is just lovely.

Hi, Kevin! This is so lovely to read; thank you for your kind review of Fairbank! You really can't beat the sounds of the river. It's one of those lovely little charms of the property that keep guests coming back. We hope you'll choose to stay at Fairbank again soon! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Fantastic stay at Fairbank
Fairbank is a lovely property with a fantastic location for Keswick and the Lakes. This is our 5th visit to the property and we always enjoy our stay there. Keswick cottages are a superb local company which helped us to find Fairbank. Thanks. Barbara

Hi, Barbara! It's always a pleasure to have you stay at our properties. We know our properties well and love to matchmake guests with the holiday homes we know are right for them. Hopefully we will welcome you again in the summer and you'll enjoy a sunnier view of Fitz Park, and be able to use the patio to its full potential. Still, the rainy winter weather is a great excuse to cuddle up in the living room and watch a good show on the smart tv. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
