Property code: SZ545

A great abode for getting away with family and friends, this home sits in an enviable location close the heart of Keswick. End your day with a drink in the yard to relax and unwind.

Escape to the Lake District with two happy hounds and enjoy a stay at this welcoming holiday home in colourful Keswick. Sleeping six guests, as well as a pair of pets, the three-bedroom property is well-positioned for the many dog-friendly attractions of the town, as well as its spectacular surroundings. Enjoy your proximity to Derwentwater, with its fabulous walks and head out from home on a myriad of hill hikes, with your faithful friends by your side.

Hang dog leads in the porch and call your pals through to the open-plan lounge/diner. Fire up the wood burner and let them rest their weary paws while you head through to the well-equipped kitchen to prepare dinner. Find a utility space with a useful washing machine and tumble dryer. Later on, in front of the Smart TV, give your contented canines some puppy love. Find the family bathroom and separate WC up a half flight of stairs. Another bathroom, with slipper bath, and a super-king-size bedroom are up several more stairs. Venture up to the floor above to discover a twin room and a double, both with characterful sloping ceilings. Wake up in either room to glorious views then head downstairs to take your four-legged friends for a stroll. On warm days, relax with them out in the courtyard garden. Find you have secure space for storing cycles and that parking is on the road, subject to availability.

Take your happy hounds on a lake cruise from Keswick and bound off at Lodore to see the falls or High Brandelhow to climb 1 mile up to Catbells. Those with energetic canines might like to attempt the 3.5-mile walk to Catbells from Keswick or the 3-mile route up to Latrigg, with its sweeping views over the town, Derwentwater and the surrounding fells.

We really liked this house. The bathrooms were both fantastic. The position is within easy walking distance of the town centre, with a Spar shop even closer. We found the kitchen utensils, serving dishes and chopping boards etc. rather limited for self-catering but the dishwasher/washing machine and dryer were perfectly fine. Very comfortable beds

We loved this cottage! Everything about it was perfect for our holiday. The location is ideal - close to the town centre for a nice stroll, easy access to all the hikes and a great children's park on the doorstep. Even though parking isn't included we never had an issue parking close to the cottage.

A fabulous cottage in a great location. Spotlessly clean and well equipped with everything needed. Incredibly comfy beds and beautifully fitted bathrooms. A very secure backyard for our active Spaniel. Loved sitting on the bench in the morning with a cuppa, sunny and peaceful. A couple of minutes walk from the park, our Spaniel loved a swim in the Read moreriver in the morning, which was very low and slow at the time. No major issues with parking, despite what we had read from other reviews. Hide

Great location in Keswick, close to town for great cafes, bars/pubs and restaurants. Derwent water is a short stroll away as are most attractions. The town house kept us fit with all the stairs but its a well appointed and tidy place which really felt like a home from home. The garden area is a small patio which did confuse our dog a little but sheRead more soon understood it was okay to do her business in a certain spot. Free for all parking on the the road is very handy but it can get busy. Hide
