Cottages in Keswick

Keswick is the prime location for enjoying a quintessential Lake District holiday experience. With our selection of unique local cottages, you’ll soon be exploring Keswick and the surrounding area from a  charming accommodation that combines the vest best of traditional design and all the conveniences that you would expect from a modern holiday home.  

The town of Keswick rests between the imposing Skiddaw mountain within the Lake District National Park and the majestic Derwentwater lake. This is a wonderful location that places visitors within the heart of the Lake District with everything from local walks, mountain climbing and water activities right on their very doorstep - so you’ll never be short of something to do!

Skiddaw for example is a mid-level walk with paths that are easy to follow even in misty conditions. Taking the full trail can take anything from three to five hours depending on ability, but even a brief visit to the area will be enough to take in the wonderful views of this charming mountain landscape.

Derwentwater is a widely popular holiday destination, which boasts everything from local water sports and walks to a theatre by the lake and waterside cafés. The abundance of things to do and places to stop for a relaxing break makes Derwentwater an ideal place to visit, whether you are looking to enjoy an active holiday or would rather simply unwind and enjoy the scenery over a refreshing drink. 

Despite being a relatively small town, Keswick itself is home to a great selection of local shops, places to eat and drink and public parks. The Keswick Brewing Company is a popular destination offering excellent local ales from its bar and shop, as well as fascinating tours. The Alhambra Cinema and Keswick museum are great attractions for evenings or rainy days out, while those looking to get outdoors might want to consider the nearby Go Ape adventure park in Whinlatter or local boat launches. 

Naturally, Keswick is ideally placed for exploring the Lake District National Park and our dog-friendly cottages ensure that the whole family can really get the most out of the region’s famed local landscapes. While the town does offer plenty to see and do, it should be noted that all of this is done without impacting the stunning natural beauty of the Lakes. This makes the town an excellent choice for those looking for a more relaxing break or a romantic getaway with that special someone.
