About this property

Garden cottage is located on the outskirts of the market town of Keswick. The property is part of a former farmhouse converted into apartments. Due to the elevated location spectacular views over the town Lake District fells can be admired from the surrounding grounds. Inside your apartment there is one double bedroom and a bathroom with shower over bath, basin and WC. Open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and lounge perfect for relaxation or a romantic meal. There is also the outdoor private seating area for when you fancy relaxing and enjoying the scenery at a leisurely pace rather than walking up the local fells which are within walking distance. A delightful retreat for two people with plenty to see and do within reach.

Keswick is a year round destination with a wide variety of attractions on offer including, lake cruises on Derwentwater, live performances at the Theatre by the Lake, fine fell walking, lively street markets and an abundance of shops, bars and restaurants. Hope Park is a relaxing and beautiful place to visit at any time of year it is only a five minute walk from the apartment, here you could enjoy a round of golf or keep the children entertained with a game of crazy golf. Also nearby you will find the River Greta and Fitz Park with tennis courts, pitch and put golf or just simply stroll along side the river. For the more energetic visit Whinlatter Forest Park which has a fantastic mountain biking trail and also hosts the tree top adventure Go Ape.

    We really enjoyed our stay of 5 nights and the cottage was just equipped with everything we needed. Could not fault anything at all. A nice gesture was the lemon cake and the wine. Also appreciated that the cottage was decorated for Christmas. Highly recommended.

    There are two improvements that need to be made which are of critical importance. 1. The entry road leading into the property is not significantly paved and this is not indicated anywhere. This proved challenging to get a Mercedes A180 in and out of the property with the underside of the car getting scuffed on the poor terrain. It should be indicated that low vehicles may struggle and give the customer to choose an alternative property. I would have done so. 2. The WIFI was absolutely atrocious. I did continuous speedtests and the results indicated a maximum download of 1.82 Mbps and a maximum upload of 0.66 MBps. This was totally insufficient for either of us to work, e-mails would not download or sent properly, documents could not be uploaded and video conferencing was absolutely impossible. Expectations should be at least 50Mbps or this should be clearly indicated. The only TV app that could be handled by the atrocious WIFI speed was Netflix with all other apps unable to function properly. My Wife and I could not do anything and we had to find cafes with more suitable WIFI to conduct basic working activities. If anyone stays here intending to do work, please note that this would be impossible with a speed below 2 Mbps. This is why I personally would not start here again as it was an issue for us to sit in cafe's 2 hrs a day just to do basic work activities. If you don't have to do any work, don't need to use social media and have a car with significant ground clearance to get in and out then this would be suitable.

    Yes it’s a little walk down into Keswick but gives you a chance to enjoy a countryside walk. Once onto the main road turn down onto the walk/cycle track on the left side and it brings you near to the town. The cottage was warm and had every kitchen utensil. Provided washing up liquid etc. Beds comfy. Plenty of hot water for showers and baths. Would stay again
