Description

Entering the cottage from the porch, the spacious open-plan lounge-kitchen-diner provides a charming sociable living space for unwinding after a day of adventures. There is a leather sofa and armchair to curl up on in front of the cosy log-burning stove while you enjoy your favourite series on the Smart TV or unwind with a good book.

The new kitchen overlooks the garden and comes fully-equipped with fridge, induction hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher.

On warmer days, open up the french doors for an al-fresco drink and nibble, or a serene moment observing the comings and goings of the resident birds and wildlife.

At the back of the garage, there is a useful utility space with freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer.

Moving upstairs, there are two beautiful bedrooms. The master bedroom is at the front of the cottage with king-size bed, double windows and plenty of storage space. The twin bedroom is to the back of the cottage. Both bedrooms have quality beds and mattresses, made up with crisp, white bed linen and towels. The bathroom has a mirror with lighting, WC, handwash basin and beautiful bath with shower over, ideal for reinvigorating tired muscles,

There is an electric vehicle charging point next to the private, covered car parking space (please note the charging point is shared with Spa Cottage next door)

Guests can enjoy complimentary WiFi.

Braithwaite is a cosy, close-knit village just outside of Keswick. With a village shop, three local pubs, and plenty of walks right on your doorstep, you won’t even need to leave the village.

If you’re looking to venture out into the Lake District without a car, Braithwaite is serviced by the X4 and X5 bus services, running all the way from Workington to Penrith, linking Braithwaite to local train stations.

Glen Cottage
Our second stay at Glen Cottage. Great location for exploring north western lake district. Really useful to have a parking space, superb walks accessible from the cottage, set in a lovely village with 3 pubs and 2 cafes within walking distance too. Cottage has been extremely well refurbished and a super place to stay in any season. Log burner nice to have in winter but took some lighting and the use of firelighters might have helped with this.

Hi, Ian! Thank you for such a lovely review. It’s wonderful to hear that your second stay at Glen Cottage was just as enjoyable as the first. The location really is perfect for exploring the north?western Lakes, and having those fantastic walks right from the door — plus the bonus of pubs and cafés nearby — makes it a great base in any season. We’re delighted you found the refurbishment to such a high standard too. Your note about the log burner is really helpful. We'll pass this on! We’re so pleased you had another great stay, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back again. Let's go for a hat-trick! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great cottage in our favourite village
A lovely cottage, newly renovated, with everything needed for us as a couple and our collie dog (I could see it being a bit of a squeeze for 4 adults though). It's perfectly located for great walks from the doorstep and for eating out without driving anywhere. My only very minor niggle was the low level lighting and front hall security lights coming on every time you moved in the living room. It was unfortunate we picked a very wet December week, and after many soakings, decided to come home a day early as there are only so many times you can dry off a wet dog. Would not hesitate to come back again though.

Hi, Tania! Oh, no! What a shame that the weather wasn't better for you. Still, there's plenty to do in Glen Cottage, even with bad weather. There's a comfy leather sofa and armchair to curl up on in the lounge, in front of the cosy log-burning stove, while you enjoy your favourite series on the Smart TV or unwind with a good book. Hopefully, we'll see you again in summer, when you can make the most of everything Glen has to offer. The al-fresco dining facilities are really something special. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Lovely cottage but wouldn't think it is suitable for 4 Adults especially 2nd Bedroom A few tweaks needed Log burner needs protected glove for opening door when alight and maybe tongs when putting logs on fire Not much storage for food

Hi, Maureen! Thank you for staying with Keswick Cottages at Glen Cottage. We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay, and appreciate the feedback. Glen Cottage has ample pantry storage, both undercounter and overhead, as well as an under-counter fridge. There is also a large freezer in the utility area in the back of the garage, alongside a washing machine and dryer. This could be missed, so we recommend making use of the digital guide that we send to all of our guests prior to arrival- it's got all of the information you could possibly need about each property, as well as helpful local tips and tricks! Or, as always, a member of our team is always either a call or an email away. At Glen Cottage, there are two beautiful bedrooms. The master bedroom is at the front of the cottage with king size bed, double windows and plenty of storage space, and the twin bedroom is to the back of the cottage. Both bedrooms have quality beds and mattresses, made up with crisp white bed linen and towels, and we're confident that four adults can enjoy a lovely Lake District break in this cottage. We're always happy to pass on any feedback, and we appreciate the heads-up about adding some extra tools for the fireplace. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

This was a truly lovely place to stay with a helpful owner. The location was great located within walking distance of several hiking trailheads, the village shop, and several restaurants. It was comfortable, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed.
