  • Charming mid-terrace cottage just 0.5 miles from the centre of Keswick
  • Light and airy accommodation with gas effect fire inside and shared suntrap garden outside
  • A great base for walkers with Derwentwater, Latrigg and Walla Crag all within 2 miles
Property code: SZ117

Escape to the Lake District National Park with this homely cottage on the outskirts of the pretty market town of Keswick.

Just a short walk from the centre of Keswick, explore this bustling town’s array of shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs, visit the famous Pencil Museum or head for the King Kong Climbing Wall. Just 1 mile away lies the magnificent Derwentwater, around which a scenic 8-mile walk can be enjoyed. Or, for a more leisurely experience, hop on the Keswick Launch which stops at the seven landing stages around the lake, allowing you to visit the likes of Fawe Park, Derwent Island and Lodore Falls. With so much to see and do in the local area, visit the mysterious Castlerigg Stone Circle 2 miles above the town, head underground at Honister Slate Mine, 9 miles away, or don your hiking boots to take on nearby Skiddaw, just 5 miles away.

Tastefully presented in soft tones with carefully chosen furniture and decorative artwork, this two-bedroom property is a home from home for couples or families. Cook up a storm in the spacious kitchen/diner, which is equipped with everything you could need including an electric oven with a gas hob, fridge, washing machine and microwave, plus a good-sized dining table. The lounge is an inviting space, with plump sofas, cosy cushions and a feature fireplace with a gas effect fire. After a long day on foot, while away the evenings in front of the Freeview TV. Afterwards, head up to the first floor where the double bedroom, single bedroom and bathroom with shower over the bath are located.

Step outside through the back door to reach the shared rear garden. Accessed by stone steps, this is a wonderful suntrap in the evenings, perfect for an al fresco drink as the sun goes down (please note: there is a significant difference of level in the garden and young children should not be left unsupervised). There is private off-road parking for one car to the rear of the cottage.

Carolyn's Cottage is in a great location for all that Keswick has to offer. It's very cosy and comfortable for 3 people and has the added benefit of off-street parking. We've stayed several times and would probably return again if the owners replaced the double bed with a king size!

Lovely property, very well equipped for self catering and the private parking space is a real bonus. Great walking from the door, our car never moved all week. We did Latrigg, Skiddaw, Cat Bells, Walla crag and Ashness Bridge, and the railway path on a wet day.

We had a wonderful stay in Carolyn's Cottage the location of the cottage is fantastic right next to local amenities. The cottage is well equipped and immaculately clean and so cosy. The beds were so comfy and the welcome pack of tea, coffee, sugar and milk was so appreciated. The only thing that let it down was the dark bathroom which needs updatedRead more saying that the shower is amazing, the property could also do with a rotary line or a washer dryer. I wouldn't hesitate booking this cottage again. Hide

This was our second stay at Carolyn's Cottage and we thoroughly enjoyed it again. It is cosy, welcoming, well equipped and immaculately clean. It is situated two minutes from the main street and the private parking is such a bonus as we find Keswick extremely busy these days. We would not hesitate to stay there again. Thank you.

New Year in the cottage - it was exceptionally clean, tidy & with a Christmas tree, plus new carpets/flooring. Designated car parking a bonus & good location for walking to the shops, pubs, cinema etc. If you are a light sleeper then you will hear the noise of the road, car park & bottle bank. Cottage was warm & cozy once the heating & gas fire werRead moree negotiated. New double glazed windows/doors would be beneficial which I'm sure will be in the next stage of refurb.
