  • Set in a quiet residential area just 600 metres from Keswick town centre
  • Lovely enclosed garden with birds and wildlife, ideal for relaxing with your canine pal
  • Take a stroll around Fitz Park, or down to the lake at stunning Derwentwater
Property code: OC-87092

Set in a quiet residential area, 600 metres from Keswick town centre in the Lake District, you’ll find this stylish two-bedroom property. With tranquil walks straight from the door, this is the perfect holiday home for couples or a small family looking for outdoor activity with their four-pawed friend.

On the ground floor, the decor is simple and fresh with neutral tones throughout. The open-plan living area is adorned with stylish furnishings, and a wood burner-effect electric fire in the lounge makes things cosy for you and your canine companion on chilly nights. The neat kitchen is equipped with modern appliances and opens onto a dining table where you can linger over a meal while soaking up views of the trees and river in the distance. On warm days, open the glass door and let your four-legged friend safely roam around the lawn and hedges in the enclosed garden. From the ground floor, stairs lead up to the first floor where you’ll find two comfortably sized bedrooms, including a king-size and twin, and a separate family bathroom. Outside, play with your pup on the lawn or enjoy walks in Fitz Park and along the river with direct access from the back gate.

Keswick town centre is 600 metres from the property and is a lively place with a good selection of restaurants, pubs, and cafes. For a walk in nature with your four-legged friend, head 1 mile to Hope Park and enjoy a stroll around the lake. For longer walks that will set tails wagging, follow the old Keswick-Threlkeld railway line path located behind the property, and enjoy the 1-mile walk up Latrigg Mountain or the more challenging 5-mile hike up to the peak of Skiddaw. Children can also enjoy the thrill of flying through the forest on zip wires at Whinlatter Forest, 5 miles away.

Very nice and slightly out of the way so it was quiet, but only short walk to the centre. Good size for 2 people but would be a squeeze for 4 adults. Nice and clean with all the equipment you would expect.

This was our fourth stay at cottontail over the past four or five years, and it has always been a good holiday location. The property is in a small estate at the east end of Fitz park and is a very quiet area.

Weve had the most brilliant stay over the festive period. A great location to walk into Keswick in addition to walks in the fells - including Latrigg and Skiddaw. The start of Park run was just around the corner too. Couldnt have asked for more - thank you

Ok for 2 of us and a dog, would struggle with anymore people as only 1 small wardrobe. I would say more a 3 star rated property than a 4 star.

Comfortable cottage with a pleasant garden. Quiet area. Clean comfort beds and modern kiychen. Parking difficult at times in the area near to the cottage. Be prepared for at least a 10 minute walk to Keswick. Parking in Keswick difficult to find spaces and expensive.

Parking is at a premium in Keswick. This cottage has a dedicated spot to park which is a massive bonus. The cottage is located a couple of minutes walk from Fitz Park and approximately 10 minutes walk through the park to the centre of Keswick.

A lovely cottage with fantastic walks near by and only 5 minutes into Keswick. Quiet and lovely to hear the river from everywhere. The parking at times was an issue as people park to avoid the payments in the town carparks. Our dog loved the garden but we had to watch him near the gate. We will be back.

Lovely cottage. Really well appointed and clean. A note on the photos- the outside pic with a gate is from the footpath behind the house and the back garden. And the 'dedicated parking outside the garage ' isn't really practical. But there is on street parking on in the cul de sac.

An excellent location & a clean, well appointed cottage. Parking is an issue, limited on street and the offer to park outside the owners garage only possible if car is quite small. Our estate car would have blocked access for others. Back garden needs attention, left hand side fencing partially collapsed, definately not dog proof, although I did soRead moreme DIY to rectify this, and the patio slabs a mess. Small issues, but at 220 a night I expected better. Welcome pack never materialised at all! Hide

A very well presented property with an amazing location right next to Fitz Park. We have a Springer Spaniel and he loved the river and park outside the property.
