Property code: OC-SZ545

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.

Lovely, well equipped cottage a short walk from Keswick town centre and even closer to Fitz park. Dog friendly. Parking is competitive as is everywhere nearby but spaces can always be found.

Lovely home in great location. The house was very clean on arrival and had everything we needed for our week away. An easy walk into Keswick and whilst the parking was busy outside the house, we were able to park very near quite easily. The beds are really comfy and there are fantastic bathrooms and showers. Would highly recommend.

The location is perfect , five minute walk and you are in the centre of town . The beds are extremely comfortable and there was always plenty of hot water. The kitchen had everything we needed. We were a little worried about the parking situation but we got parked right outside.

The house was not clean and needed a lick of paint. Kitchen equipment was basic, needed a few things to make a self-catering accommodation earlier to use as self catering eg. Measuring jub, teaspoons, measuring spoons. Plates chipped, and cafeteria handle broken. Pillows filthy, which we did not see until we stripped beds at the end of our stay. YaRead morerd at back needs weed & jetwash. The outside bin was still full of rubbish even when they emptied it, previous guested had not bagged all the rubbish Hide

The property was in a great location, being only a 5 to 10 minutes walk, into the heart of Keswick. We found parking was good too and within a day, had our car right outside the front door, which was great for packing/ unpacking. The properties downstains living area was very spacious, as were the bedrooms. Having 2 lovely bathrooms a bonus and theRead more outside yard was great for our dog to bask in the morning sun. The domestic appliances were top notch, as was ths central heating. Hide

Lovely terraced house a 5 minute walk into Keswick. Parking a bit tricky but spaces do become available. Beautiful bathrooms. Wood burner is nice but you have to bring your own wood. House nice and warm generally. We walked every day from the house- didnt use the car all week- beautiful fells all around . Keswick is a lovely town with all you need Read morea walk from the house. We would come back again Hide

The cottage was clean, comfortable and spacious. We always managed to park reasonably close, either further down the street or round the corner. A bigger TV would be an improvement. We had a really good time and would definitely recommend the cottage.
