Loved and revisited by many time and time again, beautiful Keswick is a must-visit location for visitors of all ages. Featuring plenty of fascinating days out including the Derwent Pencil Museum (0.5 miles), Puzzling Place and Keswick Museum (both less than 0.5 miles), this town boasts much to see and do close to home. It’s also well equipped with quirky businesses, quality eateries and even an independent theatre (0.5 miles) offering plenty of entertainment. The expansive Derwentwater is just 0.5 miles for boat trips, water sports and waterfront walks, whilst the town also offers a handful of adventure centres to take you on guided Lakeland expeditions including rock climbing, abseiling and paddleboarding.

This light and airy property boasts a calming neural décor, the ideal surroundings for a truly relaxing break. Step inside to discover a bright entrance hall which gives way to an open-plan living/dining room. This generous space is the hub of the house, with dual-aspect windows flooding the area with light. Enjoy meals to one side of the room and spend your nights unwinding in the other. The lounge features two cushy sofas and a TV, perfect for a cosy evening in. Towards the back of the property is a contemporary kitchen and utility room. The kitchen features an electric Range-style oven, hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and a dishwasher too. The utility room is a great space to store boots and coats with a washing machine and tumble dryer for your use. Completing the ground floor is a handy WC. Head up to the first floor to find three equally inviting bedrooms. The king-size has a stylish antique bed, dressing table and TV. Then there’s a generous double bedroom with TV and cosy single with TV. A spacious family bathroom completes this floor with WC, shower and bath. Continue onto the second floor to find the final bedroom with far-reaching fell views and a TV. This is a twin room and sits alongside a final bathroom with WC and shower.

Despite its central location this property does benefit from a small patio to the rear. Complete with garden furniture to offer al fresco dining, this spot is perfect for evening meals or your morning coffee in the sunshine. Finally, there is allocated parking for one vehicle in the carpark opposite the cottage, which also has electric charging points.

I think we've used all the superlatives to describe Greengables over the many years we keep coming. The place is kept in immaculate condition but we can't comment on the new TV using fire stick in each bedroom as we never have the time between walks! We'll be back.

Beautifully maintained and outfitted home. Every time we walked in the door we felt at home. Did not want to leave. David could not have been a more attentive host. He arranged parking for our car and checked in during the week to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. If I could rate a 10 on a 5 point scale, I would.

Great communication from the owner ahead of our stay. The house was in a great location, a short stroll into Keswick Centre and just minutes from Keswick Parkrun (which is a great course by the way). A spacious house which felt very homely and had all the essentials youd expect plus some little extras which were very welcome. The property was spotlRead moreess on arrival and the beds are extremely comfortable, just what was needed after a long days walking. We would absolutely recommend this property. Hide

A very comfortable house to stay in, and perfectly placed for a short walk into the centre of Keswick. The parking opposite was very convenient. Would thoroughly recommend Green Gables to anyone wanting to stay in Keswick. It was a very quiet location, but close to everything.
