Overview
Property code: OC-92145

While staying at this charming cottage located close to the town centre and market square, you can explore the Northern Lakes either by foot, car, or bus. Situated between Derwentwater (0.5 miles) and Bassenthwaite (3.5 miles), there are eight jetties where you can hop on and off the boat to explore. Head to Theatre by the Lake to enjoy a show then visit Crow Park which is opposite – you can get 360-degree views of the mountains along with stunning views down the lake towards the exceptionally beautiful Borrowdale valley. Enjoy kayaking, canoeing, or exploring the magnificent fells. Latrigg is less than 2 miles away, and Cat Bells and Skiddaw are within 5 miles. Keswick hosts the annual mountain festival, held over three days with world-class sports, lots of outdoor activities, talks, films, and live music events which take place beside the lake. Head to Whinlatter Forest and follow the Gruffalo Trail or, if you enjoy mountain biking, there are some great tracks to explore here.

This attractive, whitewash, terrace cottage with a pretty, covered entrance offers an ideal base to explore the market town of Keswick with lakes and fells on your doorstep! Enter through the cosy porch which has storage for coats and shoes and lots of board games, ideal to enjoy on an evening or rainy day. In the welcoming lounge with a tiled floor and whitewash beam, there is a cosy gas effect wood burner offering instant warmth after a day out exploring. The lounge has comfy seating and a Smart TV with a dining area at the back of the room. The kitchen is off the lounge and is well-equipped overlooking the enclosed courtyard. There is a ground-floor WC with a utility area which leads out onto the courtyard. The first floor is accessed from the staircase which leads up from the lounge. You will find two sophisticated bedrooms that offer relaxing and stylish places to lay your head, switch off and relax. To complete the accommodation is a family bathroom with a large walk-in shower and WC.

Outside there is an enclosed courtyard with seating, offering a great spot to read a good book, enjoy a glass of wine or have a coffee on a sunny morning.

The heating was not functioning on arrival.We had to gain access to the boiler to start it.No washing up tablets or washing up brush is not acceptable.The place was clean and comfortable but both bedrooms are cramped.

A nice property, generally well equipped and maintained, but the owner is clearly not popular with other local residents, although they are friendly and helpful to guests.

We've visited Keswick many times over the years and this accommodation didn't disappoint. It's small but cosy and they've made good use of the space. My only disappointment for the price is parking isn't included even though there are spaces out front. Not sure why they can't get a permit for guests, but clearly there's a reason why not. Overall thRead moreough, it's a nice place in a fantastic location. Hide

Just to thank the owners for making our holiday a relaxing time ,the cottage was wonderful. We found the rugby ground helpful for parking for the week, perhaps you could put that in your details .Thanks again

A great cottage in a fantastic location. Wisteria Cottage is a home from home. Upon arrival and unloading, the car can be parked in the Pencil factory car park and forgotten about until departure. The cottage is so close to the delights of Keswick, so many places to eat and drink and so many activities and places to go. A fantastic retreat!

A beautiful cottage ideally situated to explore Keswick. We loved relaxing in the lounge in front of the fire at night. The beds were very comfortable and we had all of the equipment we needed for our stay. It was a nice touch to have fire sticks in each of the TVs.

It wasn't apparent from the photos that the property was situated on a busy main road, so wasn't as peaceful as we'd hoped. Also, although I knew when booking that there was no parking at the property, it would have been helpful if the cottage folder had provided suggestions, other than just telling people not to park outside. Luckily the neighbourRead mores were very helpful in suggesting the cheapest/most convenient car parks. Otherwise, the cottage was very nice. Hide

We really enjoyed staying in this lovely cottage in the beautiful town of Keswick. The location was easy for town and easy to get out to walk in the Langdales, Buttermere, and the hills above Derwent Water. We would happily go again.
