Description

On entering the cottage you will be greeted by the modern kitchen diner which is well stocked and equipped for your holiday. The newly fitted facilities include oven, separate fridge and freezer, washer/dryer and dishwasher. The solid wood table seating four is ideally placed for socialising with friends and family while preparing meals and cooking.

The living room with Smart TV, CD player, sofa and two easy chairs makes a warm cosy space to curl up and relax on an evening.

Upstairs the two bedrooms are light and bright with views over Fitz park, which is conveniently only a stones throw from the cottage. Both bedrooms are beautifully presented with quality bed linen and towels to ensure a restful stay.

The fabulous Victorian style bathroom has a modern 3 piece suite with shower over the bath.

There is an enclosed front and rear patio perfect for sitting outside and enjoying some sunshine and a good book. Complimentary Wi-Fi is provided.

Visitors to Fairbank have the convenience of a complimentary parking permit for use in Keswick's long stay car parks: Otley Road, Central Car Park and Lakeside 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.

Enjoyable Stay
This was our first time staying at Fairbank and the first time we have booked with Keswick Cottages. We were quite happy with both and the welcome box of tea and biscuits was a lovely gesture! Fairbank was in an ideal location for our needs...being so close to accessing Fitz Park via the bridge opposite the property was lovely. We were wary about the parking permit having never used one before when staying at a cottage, but we had no trouble at all with this. We were able to park in Otley Road car park which was just a stones throw away from the cottage. Fairbank was very comfortable and we would certainly book again. The only things we would raise would be that the bathroom towels were very rough on the skin and there were numerous cobwebs in the property, especially in the main double bedroom. These are just trivial points and did not compromise our stay at Fairbank. Overall we had an enjoyable stay and are saving hard for our next visit!

Hi Angela, Thank you for your review. Fairbank is located in a quiet area of Keswick but still close to the town centre and all it's amenities. The cottage looks over the River Greta and Fitz Park where you can play tennis or visit Cafe Hope NW and catch some live music. I will pass on your comments regarding the towels and cobwebs to the housekeeping team to ensure this is resolved. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

A cosy cottage with in a scenic location.
Millbank is a homely cottage in a peaceful location. It was lovely to hear the cricket match going on in the park and the kids loved being so close to the river and play area. We would love to return one day.

Hi Laura, Thank you for your review. Fairbank Cottage is in a lovely location, right next to the River Greta and Fitz Park.

We hope you had a great stay and that we can welcome you back again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Fairbank
A lovely cottage with every thing you need. Love Keswick and the location of this cottage was ideal. Only downside was the parking, not always a space in the nearest car park but we managed to park on the side road. Bath was not the easiest to get in and out of , could do with having a separate shower. Otherwise ideal especially being so close to the park for the dog to walk in and not far from the bus stops.

Hi Karen, Thank you for your review. Fairbank is in a lovely location overlooking Fitz Park. The bridge in to the park is opposite the front door so access for walking your dog is perfect. It is only another short walk in to the town centre where you can find lots of interesting shops and great places to eat, most of which are dog friendly. We hope you had a fantastic stay. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
