Overview
Property code: SZ574

An excellent base for family or friends who want to stay in Keswick - the adventure capital of the Lake District.

Escape to the Lake District and enjoy a stay in vibrant Keswick that your furry friends will also adore. This three-bedroom cottage, which sleeps six guests and a pair of their canine companions, is at the centre of the Lakeland town and enjoys access to its many attractions, as well as myriad superb dog walks in the surrounding area. From here, stroll less than 500 metres to reach Lower Fitz Park; walk beside the river or pick up trails for longer fell and lakeside hikes through your dramatic surroundings.

Towel damp or muddy paws in the porch then hang dog leads and jackets, and wander into the cottage. Head through to the inviting lounge to put paws and feet up for a while and perhaps choose a film on the TV with Freeview to watch after dinner. Wander through into the kitchen/diner, where you can whiz doggy towels through the washing machine in the utility space while you prepare hearty feasts for everyone, including the pups. Enjoy a glass of wine at the breakfast bar while dinner roasts and your happy hounds wolf their dinner down. You have a family bathroom, a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room, and a bunk bedroom with a TV also at this level. Climb the stairs to the second-floor, king-size room with an en-suite shower room. Spend sunny days out in the enclosed, private garden with your cheerful chums. Dine out here, while the children play in the games room which also has a tumble dryer, and the pups explore. You’ll find parking for one car at the cottage.

Stroll 1.5 miles from your base to see the Castlerigg Stone Circle. Or, walk less than 1 mile to reach the shores of Derwentwater and follow the 10-mile waymarked path around the lake with your faithful friends by your side.

Good cottage located very close to the centre of Keswick. Excellent for us and our 2 labradors. Parking for one vehicle is excellent given the location.

Ideal location - opposite the river and the park, a few minutes walk into the restaurants and shops when needed and a lovely place to start the walk up Lanrigg. Warm, cosy and everything you need at the cottage.

Excellent location - a park 1 min walk across the road. 5 min walk to the town, and 10-15 min walk down to the lake. Lovely walks straight from the cottage. Cottage very comfortable, and well equipped (great having a pool table), and a real bonus to have the parking space next door in the car park. We had a wonderful holiday in Wren Cottage. The onRead morely thing we missed was a welcome pack of any sort, and a guest book with any tips or recommendations. But we would definitely stay there again. Hide

The cottage was situated in an ideal position for all amenities. Car parking was good .The house was well maintained and had plenty of utensils etc in the kitchen. The garden was real good to sit out and have a bite to eat and got the sunshine into the evening. The pool and table tennis were a bonus.Over all we would definitely return to this houseRead more as it was good value for money. Hide

Totally disappointed with many aspects too numerous to mention.. but for guests expecting to play snooker for instance there were only 3 snooker balls available which could be a disappointment for families with kids.. Sorry but would definitely not recommend this particular cottage to stay at

Lovely cottage, master suite was amazing. Good comfy beds in all rooms. Enclosed garden ideal for dogs. Kitchen well equipped. Very close to town centre and the park across the road. Would highly recommend and we are thinking of booking later in the year with family. Additional car parking space next door is a bonus.

Lovely cottage ideal for exploring Keswick and the northern lakes. The park opposite was very handy for the dog. The cottage had everything we needed for a lovely relaxing holiday.

Brill location with ample parking and beautiful views. A minutes walk away from Keswick town centre and a good hub for a stay in the Lakes. House was amazing with enough room for multiple people.

Great location and a very comfortable house. I would note the parking space in the drive is not suitable for a large vehicle, the drive is very narrow and you cant open the car door!

A great location for a stay in Keswick. The cottage is well equipped but ok comfort wise. We thought a thorough clean of the property is required.

Brilliant accommodation in a perfect location. We had a great week at Wren Cottage. Having the private garden and park right across the road was wonderful for the dogs. So easy to walk into the shops, pubs and restaurants in the town centre. The property was really well equipped and very spacious. Hope to come back soon!
