This wonderful cottage, situated just half a mile from Keswick Launch, is perfect for families and groups of friends – including the canine ones! With three tranquil bedrooms and plenty of space for up to two dogs, this holiday home is an inviting base to return to after a long day out exploring the stunning Lake District. Go for a lake cruise on Derwentwater or on one of Ullswater’s Steamers (16.5 miles), or simply grab your boots and go for walkies on one of the many walking trails that are suitable for little legs, human and canine!

The property, which sits less than 200 metres from a dog-friendly pub, has a contemporary feel that still keeps the cottage’s traditional charm. The compact kitchen is fresh and bright, while warm tones and comfy sofas beckon you to sink into them in front of the wood burner, the pups snoozing by the hearth. The sunny window seat is perfect for sitting on with your morning coffee and a book. Take a refreshing shower in the beautifully tiled shower room before winding down for bed; each room is decorated in calming neutrals with thoughtful furnishings that remind you of your countryside location.

Head to the Puzzling Place (500 metres) with the kids to experience some mind-boggling illusions – your faithful friends can join too! They can also join you in the Derwent Pencil Museum (0.5 miles). Stretch your legs along the 6-mile out-and-back Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trail that starts just half a mile from your front door and takes you over the River Greta. For more of a challenge, try one of the many routes up and around Skiddaw (5.5 miles), where you’ll experience some amazing views. Whinlatter Forest (5.5 miles) also has plenty of trails suitable for children and dogs.

Lovely cottage with everything we needed. The location is ideal within walking distance of the centre of Keswick and with footpaths down to the lake. We had no trouble parking, usually beside the church wall.

Having taken self catering holidays for over 50 years, this was one of the best properties weve stayed in! Having an air fryer was the cherry on the cake!

Vergers Cottage was a gorgeous quaint cottage & certainly to be revisited. Great location, just a 2 min walk to the centre and 5 mins to Derwentwater. Very clean & the beds were so comfy. Had a little issue with the TV, but Jonathan the owner was with us within 20 mins and sorted it out. Such a lovely gentleman. Kitchen had everything we needed , iRead morencluding an airfryer.

The cottage is lovely, in a great location to explore Keswick but just at the edge of the town centre to avoid issues with car parking. Filled with charm and with all the equipment one could wish for. We were a group of five, including two elderly and a toddler, and really enjoyed our stay. Highly recommended.

Lovely property in a great location, just a short walk from the cinema, shops and restaurants/pubs. Furnished to a good standard with comfortable sofas and everything you'd need in the kitchen. The beds were quite soft but that's a personal preference. Two showers was a bonus as there was 6 of us, as was a combi boiler so hot water on demand. We stRead moreayed over Easter bank holiday and found parking ok in the surrounding streets so not a big problem. Overall we'd highly recommend the place. Hide
