Guests appreciate the cottage's prime location in Keswick, close to the town centre and parks, with its well-sized bedrooms, hot water, and morning sun in the backyard. The property is well-equipped, offering a comfortable stay with great showers and a functional kitchen. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, such as the need for a fresh coat of paint and minor repairs, these do not detract from the overall positive experience.
The property is generally found to be very clean upon arrival. There are isolated mentions of dirty plates and an old bath mat, but these seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the town centre and local amenities, with easy parking and a quiet setting, making it an ideal base for exploring the Lake District.
Guests find the beds and sofas very comfortable, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, some guests mention that the lounge area can feel a bit cramped when fully occupied, and the sofas are not comfortable for everyone.
The property is well-equipped with good appliances and bathrooms. Some maintenance issues like a non-functional dishwasher, light bulbs out, and a log burner needing attention are noted, which slightly impacts the score.

Forty Five is a stunning, stone-built property resting in the popular town of Keswick, offering tastefully furnished accommodation and close by amenities. This well-presented property is a delightful base for a group of friends or families looking to explore the beauty of Cumbria. Be welcomed into this charming abode and discover a light and airy living/dining room with large windows drawing in seas of natural light, and contemporary décor throughout. Settle into the stylish sitting area, catching up on a good book as you warm your feet beside the fire, before indulging in a hearty meal at the dining table, complemented by a glass of fizz. Meals can be prepared in the opulent kitchen, housing a great many amenities for guests to use, as well as access to the patio, a lovely spot for morning coffee. The opulence of the living spaces is continued upstairs, where on the first floor guests have the choice of two beautifully presented bedrooms, a super-king-size and a twin, serviced by a fantastic bathroom with a roll top bath and walk-in shower, and on the second floor there is a second stunning super-king-size bedroom, serviced by its own tasteful bathroom, ideal for a relaxing soak amongst the bubbles. Keswick is a beautiful town settled into the fantastic Lake District National Park, offering riverside walks and a local museum, as well as quaint shops to be browsed at your leisure. The town also houses access to the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Path End, and a great selection of cafés, pubs, and eateries for when you don’t feel like cooking, with options including The Fox Tap, Casa Bella, and Waffleicious. Keswick hosts a local golf course, as well as walks around Derwentwater, beside which you will find ample watersports activities. There are also many more breath-taking views and scenic walks throughout the Lake District National Park, including those at Scafell Pike, Blencathra, Moss Force Waterfall, and Helvellyn. More beautiful villages and towns, as well as pretty lakes, await your discovery, including Ambleside, Windermere, and Penrith, as well as days spent at the seaside at St. Bees Beach Seafront, Seascale Beach, and the Solway Coast AONB. The property is also within reach of the North Pennines National Park. Immerse yourself in the incredible landscape of Cumbria with a stay at Forty Five.
The popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the North of the Lake District and has plenty to offer the visitor at any time of year. The town boasts numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, excellent parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing and great mountain biking opportunities, whilst the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. Nearby, between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw or the famous Catbells, there really is something for everyone.
