Overview
Property code: OC-SZ472

Hidden amongst the bustling streets of Keswick, this stylish yet traditional cottage is an idyllic retreat for couples. Tempt your taste buds with an array of inviting restaurants, pubs and cafes from the comfort of your doorstep, browsing the popular markets and selection of independent shops.

Derwentwater is just 800m away, where you can stroll along the shoreline or admire the mountainous scenery from a launch service. Walking and cycling are a must across the fells, and crossing the lake will provide new opportunities to discover gems such as Lodore Falls and Ashness Bridge.

Step across the cobbled front garden and enter the property via the door, where you’ll find the downstairs WC and the galley-style kitchen. Boasting an oven, hob, microwave, washer/dryer, fridge and Nespresso machine, it has everything you need to sizzle up something special. A fold-out worktop is a useful addition for food preparation whilst saving space. Next, the stylish lounge/diner is brightly lit and warmed throughout by the electric stove tucked in the fireplace, and you can enjoy the TV, DVD and radio for evening entertainment. There is a small pull-out table and chairs for dining, and the owners have left a selection of books to enjoy. Following the curved staircase upstairs will bring you to the pretty bedroom with its excellent views, TV, comfortable double bed and storage. An en-suite bathroom provides washing facilities with a shower and WC.

Outside, the seating area is an excellent spot to sip a glass of wine of an evening and you are welcome to use the stone outhouse to store your bikes. The nieghbours lawn runs adjacent to the property, which you will need to cross if you would like to use the washing line for drying clothes. On-street parking is subject to availability nearby.

After receiving compensation and concluding the complaint process, I feel it is important to leave an honest review for future guests. We booked a short stay through Holiday Cottages at The Cobbles and arrived to find a property that, in our opinion, fell well below acceptable cleanliness standards. The issues included stains on the mattress proRead moretector, mould within the property, dirty cups and rugs, a mould-covered coffee canister containing old coffee, a fridge that was not functioning properly, and a freezer door being held shut with folded cardboard. We understand that older cottages will naturally show signs of age and wear. Our concerns had nothing to do with the age or character of the property. The issue was cleanliness, hygiene, and basic maintenance. We documented the condition of the property with photographs and video evidence and raised the issues immediately. The company acknowledged the problems and offered compensation, which we accepted in order to bring the matter to a close. However, we do not believe the compensation reflected the extent of the issues encountered during our stay. What disappointed us most was that many of these issues should have been identified and rectified before guests arrived. Holiday accommodation should be clean, properly maintained, and ready for occupancy. In this case, it simply was not. I would encourage future guests to inspect their accommodation carefully upon arrival and report any concerns immediately. Hide

Lovely characterful cottage, in a superb location. Very clean. And well equipped for such a small place. Comfy bed. Not a gas stove now though - electric.

Lovely cottage in the heart of Keswick, small but perfect with comfortable bed, glimpses of the mountains from the windows and full of afternoon and evening sunshine. We would highly recommend. The pub at the end of the road, The Wainwright, did simple, tasty food and was a very friendly local.

Beautiful little cottage but "little" is the operative word. I was on my own and slim so no problem, but if you were a couple and one or both of you were a little on the larger side you might struggle. Fortunately not my problem and I had a great stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our one-week stay at The Cobbles. The cottage is situated in a very quiet little street, however extremely close to the town centre. Some guests described it as a 'tight squeeze', an impression we cannot share.It is small indeed but offers everything you need to cook properly and relax. There is enough storage space and hooks Read moreeverywhere. The only little drawback: We couldn't find a real patio seating area (see description). We definitely hope to be back some day! Hide

Small but finely formed & a great location for access to the centre of Keswick. Finding a parking space not insurmountable & with the good weather where better to be amidst the Fells & facilities on offer.
