Gorgeous cottage only a few minutes walk from the shops. Lovely rooms and also an outside seating area. We had a lovely stay and felt right at home. Just what we were looking for.

A good smaller option for staying in Keswick. Would recommend for max 3 people as not too much space.

We had a good stay at this cottage. Great location, just a 2 minute walk into Keswick. Its good value for money. However, the space is compact, we were four adults and the sofa wasnt big enough for us to sit together. The bedrooms were perfectly fine and beds comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. Thank you
