I love this cottage. Have just returned from a 5th visit & hoping to rebook for next year. It is a real home from home. The kitchen is well equipped & there is a cozy lounge with good quality furnishings. The beds are very comfy & there is a good, dog friendly garden. The whole place is also perfect for dogs, with vinyl, easy care flooring & a stair gate. There is very easy access to Fitz park, with gorgeous fell views. The bus stop is just a short walk through the park & all the amenities of Keswick, just a ten minute walk away. All in all, a brilliant place to stay. The only downside us having to leave at the end of the week!

We had a lovely stay at Philip's Cottage. The house had everythind we needed for a great trip. The addition of a secure garden was great for our dog! The location is perfect. Easy to get into Keswick town centre but peaceful and easy to go elsewhere if needed. Walks out the door, park on your doorstep. It was great.

Stayed Phillips cottage about 6 times in the last few years, and will be staying in June and Christmas this year. No issues, ideal for dogs, secure garden, close to Keswick centre. Suits us fine.
