Lovely cottage. Spotless clean. Nice front and back gardens. Has everything you need. Smart tv with Netflix. Nice comfy clean beds. Cottage is very central and 2 minutes from Fitz Park. Thankyou for the bottle of wine and lovely biscuits. Would highly recommend.

Lovely, comfortable holiday cottage, very close to town centre in a quiet location. The cottage is also very close to Fritz park where we could exercise our dog and there was plenty of space for him to run around.We had a very restful 3 nights at the fells cottage (wife, me and dog).The enclosed garden was perfect for our cockapoo.Parking is offsite but is only a short walk away and the advanced permit made it stress free.We are highly likely to return in the future.

This was the 7th or 8th time we have stayed in Keswick and this was the best cottage so far. The accommodation was very clean, comfortable and in the perfect place for the town centre and accessing Fitz park for early morning and evening dog walking. The bottle of Fizz and the biscuits were much appreciated. My only slightly negative comment would be that the chairs in the lounge could be bigger and more comfortable.
