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. It offers beautiful views and is a multi-user trial suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs and mobility scooters. If you fancy something with a little more elevation and spectacular views, Latrigg and Walla Crag can be reached from your doorstep, and you can even tick off some Wainwrights! 10 minutes out of Keswick is Whinlatter forest, which offers a huge selection of walks and outdoor activities.

Keswick itself offers lots of amenities, from shops to cafés, pubs to theatres, you will be spoilt for choice.

Nice cottage, dreadful access
We are an active 70+ couple who have visited the Lakes for 30+ years. On arrival the keysafe proved too difficult to open and after 30 mins of fruitless attempts a call to the office for assistance in gaining access was necessary. The issue was resolved quickly in a most friendly manner. Once inside a couple of minor maintenance issues were identified (these things happen) but again, these were soon resolved. Sams Cottage is well equipped for a comfortable self-catering break for up to 3 people, disabled or otherwise. Access to Bakers Yard is down a short but very narrow lane with high walls on both sides. There is much evidence of previous visitors to the Yard on the walls, and regrettably, in spite of taking the greatest care, we too scratched our car whilst entering the yard. The issue is made worse by other road users constantly parking on the footpath and on double yellow lines in St Johns St opposite the entrance to the Yard, preventing a wide sweep to enter the Yard at a straight angle. Once in the Yard if the other allocated spaces are full it is impossible to turn the vehicle around to enable an exit forwards from the yard. A reverse exit is not to be recommended. We feel that the advance information about the access does not adequately convey the reality of the situation, which seriously detracted from the enjoyment of our stay. For this reason alone we would not stay at Sam's Cottage again.

Oasis in the centre of Keswick
Lovely cottage in the centre of town. Just 2 mins away from the town centre, yet set in a quiet yard. All amenities within a stones throw. Very comfortable. If you are visiting in a larger vehicle, don't forget to pull your wing mirrors in when going through the arch !

Hi, Glen! We're glad that you enjoyed your stay at Sam's cottage. It's incredibly well-located, offering it's own privacy without sacrificing proximity. The cottage is perfect for those with additional access needs, with a wet room and the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area. Its facilities are modern yet homely, and the cottage is well-decorated. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Good , a few niggles
Although the cleanliness was very good, there were several chips on some grab rails and rusty screws in the toilet because of being a wet room. Everything gets soaked.The toilet has to be dried before it can be used. Also, there is no toilet lid. I know the property was built exclusively for Sam but if it's to be let then guests should be catered for too. Watch out for sloping floors if a walker or rollator is used, you'll find them rolling away from you tout de suite!

Hi Helen, Thank you for your review. Sam's Cottage is the only fully accessible holiday let in Keswick and the owner's disabled nephew does use the property regularly hence how it is set up. The cottage is ideally located in the town centre so you have everything from shops to restaurants right on your doorstep. The cottage also benefits from a parking space which in such a central location is an added bonus. We hope you had a fantastic holiday. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Second time we have stayed at this property. My dad is a wheelchair user and the whole property is designed with a wheelchair user in mind without making it overly obvious. Great location, parking, washing machine and welcome pack. We'll definitely be booking for a 3rd time!
