Gorgeous, quirky cottage that has been lovingly updated. The location is exceptional and the boot room is an absolute gift! The kitchen is aesthetically pleasing, with little storage but the big boot room absolutely resolves any issues this could pose. Our son loved his balcony room and the ladder style steps. Great bedroom storage and a fabulous bathroom. We’ve stayed in many cottages in Keswick and this has been one of our favourites.

We'd love to stay again same time next year but sadly that slot has gone.We did not really need it but I think the gas stove in the lounge does not work.

This charming period cottage really was one of the best places we have ever stayed in Keswick. It was immaculately dressed and felt like a home away from home as soon as you stepped through the door. It smelt lovely too throughout!!! The beds were sooooo comfy too. It was very close to the local ammenities also. I would highly recommend 11 The Plosh!!!
