Brief time in Keswick

Lovely cottage a short walk from the main attractions of Keswick. We were staying for work just for 2 nights. The cottage was cosy, really well presented and very comfortable. We brought our dogs - this was a cottage that said it was dog friendly and actually was! Dog bowls available for borrowing and little doggie welcome packs! We would definitely return.

Birchgate stay

A lovely cosy cottage close to Fitz park and the town centre. Beautifully furnished throughout. Could just do with a tea tray and some subtle lighting in the kitchen.

Our third time at Birchwood

We really like this cottage, it is dog friendly and has a real fire. We have stayed three times already so it feels like a second home. We love Keswick and the people there. We will book again next year.

Keswick Cottages must be doing something right!

As good (and it was very good) as the first time we stayed here - 14 years of annual visits. Long may it continue.

Lovely cottage in Keswick

Ideal location for walks in and around Keswick. The cottage was perfect for the two of us with the added advantage of off road parking.

Well positioned, good for small damilies

House is well situated, very near the park and a short walk to town. Access & parking is tight for cars but manageable. Lots of great walks nearby. Good shower, house was clean & good welcome pack.

Centrally located

Birchgate is situated, in a quiet location, a short walk from Upper Fitz Park and the town centre. A small cottage but very cosy and comfortable. Everything you require for a stay is supplied, the kitchen was well equipped to be used as much or as little as you like. The cottage has the bonus of a driveway which is suitable for a mid range SUV with a bit of shunting.

Cosy cottage

Cottage was warm and clean, conveniently located with small but adequate parking space. Whole process for booking and gaining entry was very smooth. Small but appreciated welcome pack even though we were only there for 3 nights was a great gesture. Would use Keswick Cottages again; like the local/personal feel they provide.

Lovely Cottage, Great Location

We have stayed at Birchgate many times and really enjoyed our stay each time. We particularly appreciate the location close to town centre in Keswick and parking on site. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable and we noted and enjoyed the various improvements and updates this year. Service from Keswick Cottages was friendly and efficient as always. We hope to return next year!

An excellent base for exploring the Lakeland fells

Perfect for a couple or young family - 4 adults might find the accommodation a bit cramped. Not sure how warm the property would be for a Winter stay. As usual in an older property a little TLC would not go amiss in a few places but this in no way detracted from our stay.

Excellent stay

Had a perfect week. Beautiful location just a short walk into central Keswick. Easy directions right to the parking space! Good communication throughout, clean and tidy, fluffy towels, sharp knives- a well equipped property. Big thanks to housekeeping staff.

Cosy winter break.

Well equipped cottage, lovely and warm with the log fire.Being ancient ourselves we found the tv very difficult to operate.
