Perfect for families, groups of walkers and four-legged friends, this stylish cottage offers welcoming accommodation in the heart of the Lake District National Park.

Discover a bounty of natural beauty, famous landmarks and historical attractions when you stay at this elegant Victorian cottage in Keswick. Located in the heart of this vibrant lakeside town, groups of up to six people and two pups are just moments from dog-friendly eateries, independent shops and quirky museums like The Puzzling Place and the famous Derwent Pencil Museum. Stretch your legs and paws with a walk around the nearby lake of Derwentwater and soak in the breathtaking views of the surrounding fells.

Your dog will make themselves at home the moment they step inside this stylish house. Dry off any damp paws in the side entrance to the modern kitchen as you enter this lovely holiday property. Fill the fridge with yummy snacks and pour your pup a bowl of tasty treats while the rest of your group unwinds at the dining table. Head into the lounge with a cup of tea in hand and relax on one of the comfy sofas in front of the gas wood burner. Why not watch a funny film while your dog snoozes next to the fire? When it’s time for bed, head upstairs to the first floor and find a super-king-size bedroom. On the second floor, an additional double bedroom and twin bedroom await you.

Adventurous groups, hikers and ramblers will find an abundance of outdoor activities on their doorstep. Take the 4-mile trip to Hawse End for a stroll up Catbells via Rowling End. Just 5 miles from the front door is the incredible Whinlatter Forest Park, where visitors can experience exhilarating cycling and mountain biking trails, Go Ape and even horse riding. The picturesque Lodore Falls are also a must-see and can be reached in 3 miles.

Cartref is a lovely house that is both comfortable and well-equipped. Everything is well thought out and the attention to detail meant we had a great Christmas week there. The heating works really well and the house was warm despite a wet and windy week! The "boot and coat" area by the back door was really useful with the wet weather!

A lovely, well equipped and clean property in a quiet location. A nice selection of herbs and spices was appreciated! All in all, would recommend to anyone wishing to stay in Keswick. Only downside was not having a private parking space, but we knew that when we booked, but its quite difficult to park nearby.
