Set in the heart of Keswick, this boutique-style holiday property offers a relaxed holiday stay. Walkers and cyclists are perfectly placed for challenging adventures in the surrounding mountains and fells, while paddleboards, canoes and kayaks await at Derwentwater Marina (2.5 miles). Source fresh food produce at Keswick’s markets and visit the town’s museums and cinema (0.5 miles) or explore the ancient Castlerigg Stone Circle (1.5 miles). Take a family-friendly stroll on Derwent Water Walk which skirts for 10 miles around the lake - hop on and off the launch cruise boats to make the journey more entertaining for children and look out for curious red squirrels in the woods by the shore.

Step inside this charming holiday retreat which has spacious contemporary-style interiors with sleek design features, restful hues, and ambient lighting for a restful stay. Leave coats and muddy hiking boots in the large porch before heading through to the inviting living room which has exposed timber beams and cosy leather sofas, along with fell views. Stay warm from the heat of the pebble effect gas fire and tune into favourite programmes on the TV with Freeview. Make delicious feasts together in the well-equipped kitchen and dining area which features an electric oven, halogen hob, American style fridge freezer, microwave, and a convenient dishwasher plus a large oak dining table. A large utility cupboard houses a washing machine and ironing board, and there’s a kitchen breakfast bar for morning coffees. The ground floor includes two beautiful bedrooms - a double with an en-suite shower room (with a shower and WC), and a cosy bunk bedroom with a TV - ideal for children. There’s also a family bathroom with a shower and WC. Head upstairs where you’ll find a magnificent king-size bedroom which has an en suite-shower room with a shower and WC, plus large window seat with outstanding fell and mountain views. Enjoy breakfast in bed or curl up on the window seat and gaze out at Blencathra, Latrigg and Skiddaw.

Parking is available for one small car at the side of the house. The enclosed rear garden has shrubs and plants, a patio and a deck with a breakfast bar style outdoor seating area. There’s also an outbuilding/games room with a pool table and table tennis conversion, a tumble dryer, and storage space for sports gear. And you’ll find a pub, shop, and restaurant within half a mile.

Overall we had a good stay, cottage is clean and great location. Plenty of crockery/glasses etc. although some could do with replacing. The garden needs a good tidy - lots of weeds. The bunk bedroom smelt musty - we didn't use it thankfully as there were 4 adults staying. The 'parking' next to the cottage is unuseable - you might get your car in buRead moret you won't be able to get out. You do get a space in the car park next door but this was a problem for us as we had 2 cars. Hide

Wren cottage is well located as a base to explore Keswick and beyond. The cottage is really comfortably furnished and exceptionally clean and the pool table is a big plus for wetter days.

Such a cosy and modern cottage, so close to the centre of keswick whilst still being nice and quiet in the evenings. Pool room was great, downstairs shower was one of the best Ive ever used! Thanks for a great stay, we would definitely stay again should we return to keswick!

Good cottage located very close to the centre of Keswick. Excellent for us and our 2 labradors. Parking for one vehicle is excellent given the location.

Ideal location - opposite the river and the park, a few minutes walk into the restaurants and shops when needed and a lovely place to start the walk up Lanrigg. Warm, cosy and everything you need at the cottage.

Excellent location - a park 1 min walk across the road. 5 min walk to the town, and 10-15 min walk down to the lake. Lovely walks straight from the cottage. Cottage very comfortable, and well equipped (great having a pool table), and a real bonus to have the parking space next door in the car park. We had a wonderful holiday in Wren Cottage. The onRead morely thing we missed was a welcome pack of any sort, and a guest book with any tips or recommendations. But we would definitely stay there again. Hide

The cottage was situated in an ideal position for all amenities. Car parking was good .The house was well maintained and had plenty of utensils etc in the kitchen. The garden was real good to sit out and have a bite to eat and got the sunshine into the evening. The pool and table tennis were a bonus.Over all we would definitely return to this houseRead more as it was good value for money. Hide

Totally disappointed with many aspects too numerous to mention.. but for guests expecting to play snooker for instance there were only 3 snooker balls available which could be a disappointment for families with kids.. Sorry but would definitely not recommend this particular cottage to stay at

Lovely cottage, master suite was amazing. Good comfy beds in all rooms. Enclosed garden ideal for dogs. Kitchen well equipped. Very close to town centre and the park across the road. Would highly recommend and we are thinking of booking later in the year with family. Additional car parking space next door is a bonus.
