A fantastic base for families and friends exploring the heart of the Lake District, this spacious, light and refreshing cottage is set in a charming residential part of the thriving Lakeland market town of Keswick. Within easy reach of a variety of great places to eat and drink, this stylish, tastefully furnished and beautifully decorated townhouse offers relaxing holiday accommodation for up to six guests. Occupying three levels, this imaginatively updated hideaway is perfect for eager walkers, climbers, cyclists, water sports fans and nature lovers exploring the breathtaking Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite Lake.

Stepping into this fresh and welcoming property the friendly lounge provides a great space for everyone to get together, settle back, watch a movie on the Smart TV and chat about the day.

The location of the house was ideal for our break in the Lake District. The house was well furnished and excellent for our family group of 4 people. However the 1st floor shower was not usable for more than a few minutes before the tray filled up and from the water marks on the kitchen ceiling this looks to be an ongoing problem. (Due to the risk oRead moref flooding we notified the management company that we wouldn't be using this shower but disappointed not to receive an acknowledgement). Hide

Lovely place to stay, very comfortable beds, and was nice and clean. Parking on road wasnt an issue we always found a place outside or close by. Easy walk into town centre or the lake.

Warm and clean house but a little rough around the edges. I would expect better at this price point. The blinds in the master bedroom don't really keep the sun out which was quite annoying on our summer holiday.

Great location as its very close to town centre (very easy walk of less than 10 minutes) however just far enough out to be nice and quiet. Very easy to park on all days except Saturday and Sunday which can be busy.

This is a real find compared to many of the cottages & houses were have stayed in before. Quality fittings, good taste and really happy with the stay here. We visit twice a year and this is by far the best value and most comfortable we have been in this price bracket. Super place!

Our small family group of three adults enjoyed our stay at this spacious, characterful house. It has been tastefully modernised with two lovely large bathrooms. These just needed toiletry shelves. The nice kitchen had a huge range cooker with limited worktop space. We dined out so not a problem for us Not everyone bothers about TV on holiday but weRead more were disappointed to find it was smart TV only, catch-up and Netflix etc. Needs a digital aeriel for live TV that we missed in the evening.

We highly recommend this house; it's beautiful, clean and comfortable and provides a place that feels just like home. The town is lovely, friendly and clean, offers fantastic places to eat, have a coffee or a cocktail as well as many stunning walks. We didn't use the car for the 4 days we stayed as everything was within walking distance. This was oRead morene of our favourite UK holidays and we will definitely be back. Hide
