  • Less than a mile from the heart of the Adventure Capital of England and the edge of Derwentwater

Property code: OC-SZ026

A quick wander over the River Greta and its footbridge takes you to Fitz Park, a lovely spot to play with children and home to Keswick Museum and the swimming pool. Head out for a walk and summit the top of Latrigg, a small fell with panoramic views close to home (1.5 miles) or tackle the 9.5-mile loop of Coledale Horseshoe which winds its way over the Wainwright Fells and begins 3 miles away in Braithwaite. If the rain pays a visit throughout your stay, fear not, there are plenty of places in the heart of Keswick to keep you entertained including museums, fun-filled attractions and the cinema, and Theatre by the Lake.

Upon entering the property make your way into the heart of the home and pop the kettle on in the kitchen/diner, where light decor creates a welcoming ambience, and you are invited to cook up delicious feasts to plate up at the table. It is well-equipped with a fan oven, gas hobs, dishwasher, microwave, fridge, freezer and washing machine. Store muddy boots and coats in the cupboard before making your way through to the lounge for some time to unwind. A comfortable sofa and pair of chairs invite you to melt down and relax in front of the wood burner-effect gas fire with a good book or your favourite TV programme on. There is also a handy WC on this level too. After long days, enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep in one of two lovely bedrooms which can be found on the first floor. Tranquil tones and natural light help create calming spaces in which to drift off and dream. Both the king-size and the twin bedrooms share the family bathroom where you can start your day with a soak in the corner bath or freshen up in the separate shower.

Spend balmy evenings with a glass of something cold in hand and step down to the small, gravelled garden for a breath of fresh air. There is parking for one car, so you can head out to explore with ease.

A well situated and quiet property within easy walking distance of Keswick town centre and beautiful Fitz park. A good base for touring the area.

Nice quiet location, about a 10 minute walk into town - very convenient. No views and not private unless blinds shut. Lane is narrow and parking a bit tight. Cleaning wasn't great, in particular the bath and toilet. Welcome pack was very basic. Had to clean kitchen things before using. Weird, crinkly noisy underlay to carpets made it feel cheap. BeRead mored was warm and comfy. Bedroom makeup lighting inadequate. Room for improvement/updating, but it wasn't terrible and we still had a lovely time :) Cleanliness-2, Equipment-3,Comfort-4,Value for money-3,location-4 Hide

A hairdryer was the only item that wasn't in the property that would have been useful. Other than that we had everything we needed. Plenty of hot water, lovely shower.

Lovely and comfy cottage for a young family of 4. Location was ideal as it was central to explore the Lakes. Took a bus to Bowness-On-Windermere. Loved Keswick park an ideal walking distance for two young children who wanted to play most of the time. Quiet cottage & fully equipped. Local market is a must as well as a motor boat trip on Derwent WateRead morer. Hope to return. Hide

We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at 4 Catherine Cottages. The cottage is a perfect size for a cosy week away. The kitchen is lovely to cook and dine in. The lounge and gas fire make for cosy nights in, and the decor of the cottage is both modern and comfortable. Keswick, its shops, bars and trails are only a short walk away and so convenient. HavRead moreing a car space literally on the doorstep is helpful and once we had arrived, the car didnt move until the journey home! Hide

4 Catherine Cottages was everything we expected it to be and more. It was a real home from home, very well equipped and extremely comfortable. We will definitely book it again when we next visit The Lakes

Brilliant location, great to have off street parking. Cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. We picked a bad weather week so the washer/dryer was especially helpful!
