Description

Traditional, stone cottage on the outside, contemporary, spacious home on the inside!

From the moment you enter, this welcoming retreat for eight is sure to make a great first impression, and have you feeling right at home. You'll find storage and hooks in the hallway ready and waiting for your coats and boots.

On your left is the spacious living room; light, bright and inviting, this really is a wonderful space to gather with friends and family to recount the days adventures, and plan the next! Curl up and make yourself comfortable on the two three-seater sofas or the tartan easy chair with footstool, ideally positioned around the warming, cosy log burner. There's a wall-mounted Smart TV to enjoy your favourite programmes and a selection of games and books for entertainment.

The modern kitchen-diner, with island and bar stools, is well-equipped and sure to make your self-catering break in the Lakes a pleasure.

The four comfortable bedrooms are nicely furnished, with plenty of storage, and quality mattresses for a good nights sleep. There are two double bedrooms with en-suite facilities and TVs, and two twin rooms, one of which boasts a TV, and these are serviced by a sleek family bathroom. Each bedroom will be dressed in luxury crisp white bed linen and towels ready for your arrival.

Outside, there is a patio area with seating and a parking space for one car, a real bonus so close to the centre of Keswick, and there's plenty of on-street parking nearby for guests travelling in more than one car.

Fancy an extra treat for your holiday? Hot tub hire is available (add this on on the 'extras' page)

Excellent place to stay
2 families and a dog had a wonderful time at Wordsworth House. Plenty of room, warm and clean . Only a short walk into town and one parking space provided . Definitely would stay here again.

Hi, Andrew! Thank you for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear that both families – and your dog – had such a wonderful time at Wordsworth House. It’s great to know you found the house spacious, warm, and clean, and that the short walk into town and convenient parking worked well for you. We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay and would definitely choose to return. We’d be very happy to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Walking holiday with friends
A great holiday let for walks around Keswick. The house was large enough for us all with great social spaces. Easy walk into the town to the pub and shops. Very comfortable house and had all we needed for our short break. Parking space quite tight. Only downside hence the three for customer service was that we did find the emails and texts about leaving a little intruding, felt we were reminded about obligations to leave when we'd just arrived, you might wish to review this when the stay is a short three night stay.

Hi, Kenny! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback. We’re really glad to hear that Wordsworth House worked so well for your group. It’s great to know you found the house spacious, comfortable and perfectly placed for exploring Keswick, with plenty of room to relax together after a day’s walking. And yes, that easy stroll into town for pubs and shops is definitely one of its best perks. You’re absolutely right about the parking space being on the tighter side — thank you for mentioning it for future guests. We’re really sorry, though, that the check?out reminders felt intrusive, especially on a short stay. That’s definitely not the experience we want anyone to have. Our intention is always to make things easier and avoid any last?minute stress, and are timed based on proximity to your checkout date, but we completely understand how those messages could feel a bit much so early in the stay. Your feedback is really helpful, and we’ll be reviewing the timing of those reminders for shorter breaks so they feel supportive rather than unwelcome. Thank you for flagging it so kindly. We’re delighted you enjoyed your time at Wordsworth House overall, and we’d love to welcome you back for another Keswick break. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Family lakes trip
Lovely house for a weeks stay in Keswick. Plenty room for all of us which included 4 kids and a dog. Very clean and well equipped. We had a couple of small issues which were resolved very quickly after contacting the office. Would use this property again

Hi, Tracy! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a lovely review. We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed your week at Wordsworth House. It’s great to know the space worked so well for everyone — four kids and a dog is a proper full house, so we’re delighted it felt roomy and comfortable. We’re also really glad you found the house clean and well equipped. The team works hard to make sure everything’s just right for guests, so your feedback means a lot. And thank you for mentioning the small issues you experienced — we’re happy we could get those sorted quickly for you. That’s exactly what we’re here for, and we always want guests to feel supported throughout their stay. It’s wonderful to hear you’d use Wordsworth House again. We’d be very happy to welcome you all back for another Keswick adventure. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great location & great facilities
Clean, great location and a lot of bathrooms - which is always helpful
4 Bedrooms, two with en-suite works perfectly for a friends trip. Great kitchen dining area for socialising. Very close to town, 5-10 min walk max. The park over the road is perfect for early morning dog walks. Perfect in so many ways for us. Stayed twice and will be back.
