Property code: 84638

Nestled on the eastern edge of Keswick, with its great range of shops and eateries, this welcoming home enjoys an elevated position, and an abundance of scenic Lake District walks available from the front door.

Warm up chilly paws and toes in front of the electric fire or enjoy balmy evenings in the garden of this lovely home situated on the cusp of Keswick. Welcoming two dogs and five of their humans, this delightful property provides a great Lake District retreat.

Hang up leads and coats in the hallway before heading through to the well-appointed kitchen and rustling up delicious meals. Tuck into meals together in the spacious dining room or get cosy in the lounge which has comfortable seating and an electric fire, perfect for the dogs to curl up in front of. When you are ready for some shut eye, head upstairs to the first floor where you will find three pretty bedrooms. Choose from a king-size bedroom which has far-reaching fell views from the window, a bright and airy twin bedroom, or a comfortable single bedroom. Soak away in the bath situated in the family bathroom, which has an overhead shower attachment. Completing this level is a separate WC. Outside, to the rear of the property, is a delightful garden which has outdoor furniture situated on a patio, and a large lawn space where the dogs can safely sniff about. There is outdoor seating available, which is stored in the summerhouse over winter.

Keswick is a chocolate-box market town with an eclectic mix of shops, restaurants, and dog-friendly pubs. From here, you can access a plethora of walking routes for adventurous paws, including the challenging fell hikes of Latrigg (3 miles) and Blencathra (5.5 miles). If you prefer days on the water, hop on the Keswick Launch, or try out paddle boarding on Derwentwater Lake (2 miles).

Lovely house and equipped to a very high standard. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Given some earlier reviews we were worried about the hill but this posed no problem. Plenty of walks straight from the doorstep and only 15 mins walk into the centre of Keswick so was good not to have to take the car out. Only downside is the road it stands on can be buRead moresy at weekends and commuter time but that would not stop me recommending a stay here and I would come back. . Hide

Lovely little cottage with nice modern fittings. It is in a great spot for both walking into Keswick (about 20-25 mins down the railway path) and catching the bus (bus stop is right outside the house). Highly recommend bringing your own tea bags (not included) and toilet rolls as we were only left half a roll to cover 4 days!

Lovely size house, beautifully clean, great location for either walking into Keswick or going out in the car, lots of cleaning products supplied which was appreciated, very well equipped with proper fridge/ freezer and washer/ dryer. Had a great holiday/ honeymoon, would stay here again and would recommend to friends. Only fault was its a shame theRead more garden wasnt secure for our dog. But thats only a minor fault. Overall the best property we have stayed at in many years in the lakes. Hide

Lovely king sized beds, very comfy so slept well. Good shower A nice house. Within easy walking distance of Castlerigg Stone Circle. The walk into town is good along the old railway, some guests may want to take a bus back home. Well equipped kitchen but no bread knifes. TV wasn't easy to use. As we had 2 teenagers with us a second TV perhaps in tRead morehe dining room would have been a nice bonus. A good weekend. Hide

We liked the fact that it was slightly out of town, and there is a bus stop just outside the property for anyone who may be put off by the gentle climb to the property on return from the town centre. Would be very happy to stay again.

We enjoyed a week at Keswick House over Christmas. The house was very clean & comfortable with a home from home feel. Lovely big bath, ideal after some fell running during the day. Everything we needed was there with well equipped kitchen for our Christmas lunch.
