Property code: OC-SZ118

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.

We had a truly lovely stay at Cartref! The cottage had everything we needed and more - a real home-from-home. It was spotlessly clean, and the beds were super comfortable. The location was excellent for exploring the area, with plenty to see and do nearby. All the amenities were provided, making our stay easy and relaxing from start to finish. We aRead morelso brought our dog, and it was perfect for him - safe, comfortable, and with great walks right on the doorstep. We wouldnt hesitate to stay again and would highly recommend it to others. Thank you!! Hide

Honestly one of the best equipped and most comfortable cottages we have stayed in. Nothing was missing, the place was spotless, and the location was great. Comfortable bed and sofas, great kitchen, well thought out spot at the back door to put on jackets, boots, dog leads etc. Definitely would recommend it!
