Cottage vacation rentals in Keswick

We loved this place! Its peaceful with good local walks, a pub just down the road. Tea and coffee and a loaf of bread were provided which was very welome. We'd brought our 2 dogs along, and Soraya had thoughfully left some dog treats out too. Just outside there was a hot tub, which was a real bonus, and a great way to relax after a day out walking.

Comfortable home in beautiful surroundings. Really responsive and friendly host. En-suite bathrooms to each bedroom and the beds were super comfy. Great parking and charger for electric car - lovely walks nearby along the river and the horse in the field behind had just given birth to a foal so our daughter was mesmerised. Oh I forgot the hot tub - that was great too!

Such a Lovely place too stay and great to relax, clean comfortable such a warm homely feeling from the minute you Get through the door, we would definitely come back

We really enjoyed our stay at this airbnb. The surroundings and building itself are beautiful. We fell in love with the very friendly cat who visited us many times. The balcony and garden are gorgeous and we got incredibly lucky with the weather. It maybe wasn’t as private as the listing suggests but it wasn’t much of an issue for us. The hosts were incredibly helpful to bring us plenty of bottled water while the water mains in the area were having some problems. We had a fantastic stay here.

Fab place to stay for outdoor adventures.

We really enjoyed our stay. Barneys cottage is a lovely house, with great character and very nicely presented. The property was very clean and tidy, combining the traditional and modern features very well. Kev was also a great host - helpful when required but not intrusive. We would happily stay here again.

We had a really nice stay. The cottage was lovely and well kept with great shower facilities and little touches including a welcome pack of local produce. Sharon came to clean the hot tub each morning with the filter being changed between guests, bbq area (with large disposable BBQ to use, birds singing in a sheltered garden. Bathroom and hot tub towels provided, washing machine and tumble dryer easy to use. The beds were comfy and blackout blinds in all rooms. Beautiful surroundings; able to walk 30 minutes to an ice cream farm with play area or drive 5 minutes to Lowther castle

We couldn’t have asked for a better place and friendlier helpful host. Kathryn was attentive and was very responsive, always friendly and helpful. This cottage is very spacious, modern and clean. We really enjoyed our time here. We are already planning when to go back. The views from the windows and the hot tub are beautiful. There is so much to do, we needed much longer to explore more areas and go on more walks. We would definitely recommend this place.

Had a lovely weekend in The Lakes. The accommodation was fantastic and had everything we needed for our stay. It was a very quiet location surrounded by lovely scenery. We tended to drive up towards Coniston most days to go for our walks but this was an easy drive and we would also venture into Ulverston to get food in the evening. Fab location if looking for a peaceful rural stay.

We had the most wonderful time staying at Andrea’s place. We wanted to go somewhere we could really unwind and we could do exactly that here! It was super dog friendly and Rudy loved every second of his break. The place was perfect for what we needed.

We had a lovely couple of nights at Newland Mill Farm Cottage. Our host was great, friendly and helpful. On arrival we were made to feel very welcome. The cottage is a good size, with everything you need and the beds are comfy. The outdoor space is lovely, there’s a nice place to sit and the gardens are pretty. The space for our dog to run free was a huge bonus too. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Our stay was one of the best we have had. The house was really nice and cosy and the garden was great to relax in....just the birdsong and peace and quiet. The villiage is so picturesque and the the surrounding area is beautiful with lot's of great walks We would definitely return. Phil. Emma and Hamish

Delightful, homely cottage in peaceful surroundings. Clean and well equipped. Comfortable beds and pillows and big plus having an en-suite. Every detail has been well thought out. Great communication with owners and lovely touches of biscuits for the dog and fudge for the humans. Short walk to an excellent pub and lovely walks along the river. Excellent spot from which to discover the lakes. Highly recommended

We absolutely loved our Christmas at Seaglass Cottage. The hosts were great, answered any questions, gave us detailed instructions for check-in and even put up a Christmas tree and decorations for us. We were very lucky with the weather, enjoying walks along the beach right outside, we even found some seaglass (we felt like children!). The property was very clean, the bedding smelled so fresh, the kitchen had everything you might need, very clean bathroom and handy downstairs loo. Every evening we would sit in the cosy conservatory enjoying a glass of wine, watching the sun go down, people walking along the beachpath with their dogs and then into the lounge for a real log fire. It was perfect and we can't wait to return!

A wonderful cottage in a fabulous location. Fizz, fresh bread and homemade jam to greet us. Lovely warm and surprisingly large cottage with a gorgeous view of the ford. Great walks straight from the door with wildlife aplenty (sadly no red squirrels but our host did point us to a hotel where we managed to see them). All in all, a cracking place to stay.

Lovely accommodation. Perfect base to explore the area. Close to the lake and Coniston which is walkable from the property so you can easily get to the lovely pubs, shops and cafes. Ruskin Museum is worth a visit to see Bluebird and the Bluebird cafe is a must. We kayaked the whole lake on the Saturday (covered about 12.5 miles) Parking and put in point right next to the lake, which is close to the property. We travelled to Wast Water on the Sunday to kayak. This was about an hours drive from Coniston and well worth the visit. All in all a fabulous weekend and the weather was warm and sunny. Thank you Emma for letting us stay. Claire and Rich 😊

We had a fantastic last minute weekend break at Groom's Cottage. Catherine met us when we arrived to facilitate check in. She was friendly and knowledgeable about the local area and gave recommendations for places to visit. the cottage was very comfortable and as described. the cottage felt secluded but was close to transport links for exploring the area. Breakfast items were in the kitchen on arrival which was a nice welcome touch. Would happily visit again.

We had the most enjoyable experience staying at Sara’s beautiful & cosy cottage. It was in the perfect location with easy walking distance into Town and only a short drive to Windermere & Ambleside. Peaceful cottage in a central location. Everything we needed for a comfortable stay was provided by the host and Sara was available to answer our questions promptly. We would definitely stay again. Thank you for a lovely stay and for the biscuits and mint chocs too. My daughter loved it too x

A beautiful home in a beautiful part of the world, we easily around The Lake District from our base. Spotlessly clean and so comfortable and welcoming. We didn’t want to leave and hope to return.

The location, the house, the people in the village, the pub and food, the chocolate shop, the host....i could go on and on. What a gem the house and the village are. Absolutely felt at home the local people are very friendly. The pub was welcoming, dog friendly and the food was fantastic. It is on the Coast to coast route so lots of local walks both short and longer if you wanted them were apleanty. I could not recommend the location enough. We will be back x

Great property, very causy, just what we needed. Bathroom and kitchen stunning. Both hosts were very communicative, when we arrived we found basket with coffe/tea and some chocolate biscuits which was a nice touch. Thank you for your hospitality

Lovely cottage ideally located on the edge of Windermere town, Walked to the lake and travelled by boat to Brockhole and returned on the bus. Good transport and restaurants. Thank you Mark - we really enjoyed our stay.

We had a wonderful three-night stay at Joanne and Brian’s cottage in Scotby. The home is beautifully furnished, incredibly clean, and finished to a high standard. We especially appreciated the story of Madge and Flo—the old photographs and renovation history added so much character and charm. The location is quiet but conveniently close to Carlisle, making it a great base for exploring the area. Joanne and Brian were excellent hosts—very responsive and helpful. A small issue with the Hive was quickly resolved, and we appreciated their attentiveness. The welcome basket with wine, snacks, and quality mattresses were lovely touches that made our stay extra comfortable. We’d highly recommend this cottage to anyone and would definitely return!

We had such a wonderful stay, a very beautiful house in a picturesque setting. The hot tub and sauna were a real treat and worth booking! Mark and Ruth were such lovely hosts with great communication and lots of thoughtful touches. We would highly recommend the house and location for both couples and families and look forward to staying again.
