Kettering is a town in Northamptonshire, England. Before the Romans, the area, like much of Northamptonshire's prehistoric countryside, appears to have remained somewhat intractable with regards to early human occupation, resulting in an apparently sparse population and relatively few finds from the Palaeolithic, Mesolithic and Neolithic periods. The nearby stately home of Boughton House, sometimes described as the 'English Versailles' has for centuries been the seat of the Dukes of Buccleuch, major landowners in Kettering and most of the surrounding villages; along with the Watsons of Rockingham Castle, the two families were joint lords of the manor of Kettering. The town is home to many shopping centres, water features, public art, sculptures, street furniture, trees, plants and an innovative pavement lighting scheme. Also nearby is Wicksteed Park, the United Kingdom's second oldest theme park, which now plays host to one and a quarter million visitors every season. In 1891, Dr John Allison formed Kettering Golf Club and built a 9 hole course designed by Tom Morris of St Andrews. Shortly afterwards this was extended to the full 18 hole course we have today, making us the original home of golf in Northamptonshire.

Literally seconds from the High St but very quiet. Clean and tidy, and a very comfortable stay. Itâs worth noting Poplar St is not accessible by car so from the nearest car park you have to walk up an adjacent street, along the high st and back down Poplar St. Would have been handy to know before booking as we had a fair amount of luggage. However the cottage is lovely inside and we enjoyed our stay. The car parking permit worked perfectly too.

Situated off the high street but in a quiet lane the cottage was warm, spotless and extremely comfortable with all the facilities you would need for a self-catering holiday. There are many walks straight from the door and we were spoilt for choice on how to fill our week. We did a nice railway track walk from Keswick to Threlkeld and another walk in Dobbs Wood and a favourite leisurely walk along the lake shore to Friars Crag. And we also had a chance to see a production at the Theatre by the Lake which was real treat. Keswick has a lovely market town feel with plenty of restaurants, pubs and shops to visit just minutes from the cottage. A bonus with this property is the permit parking which enabled us to leave the car safely in the car park all week which we did. We would love to return at some point in the future.
