Property code: OC-84638

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).

Garden sadly not dog safe as there are no gates to stop dogs from accessing busy main road. Resorted to pulling wheelie bins across drive to block them in back garden. Other than that, everything about the house was excellent ! Dont waste time trying to log onto Wi-Fi by using password on router, as it wasnt recognised by any devices !

Slightly further out of town than we usually like. Good sized house with some general wear and tear and updating required. Some other feedback provided to owner.

This is a lovely house and well kept house in a great location. Theres so much to do right on the doorstep and being on the disused railway makes it easy to get into town.

Despite the cottage needing a general maintenance spruce up, it's in a great location, only 10 mins or so into the town centre and Latrigg up the road. Nice size rooms, comfy bed and the fluffy towels are lush as it the shower. My main issue is that the cottage was advertised as being 'dog friendly' yet the garden is not secure, which meant my dog Read morecould not go outside on his own :( Hide

Excellent entertainment package. Comfortable lounge. Noise from main roads each side. Garden open so not dog friendly. Catering equipment variable in quality, but sufficient.

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!
