Excellent stay in an excellent cottage.

Stayed for a week at Birchgate and had no issues at all. The cottage is situated 5 minutes from the centre of Keswick and has the benefit of its own parking space. Everything you would need for a comfortable stay is provided including a welcome box for our two dogs. All in all a great cottage in an absolutely astounding part of the country.

A lovely cosy cottage close to Fitz park and the town centre. Beautifully furnished throughout. Could just do with a tea tray and some subtle lighting in the kitchen.

Our third time at Birchwood

We really like this cottage, it is dog friendly and has a real fire. We have stayed three times already so it feels like a second home. We love Keswick and the people there. We will book again next year.

Brief time in Keswick

Lovely cottage a short walk from the main attractions of Keswick. We were staying for work just for 2 nights. The cottage was cosy, really well presented and very comfortable. We brought our dogs - this was a cottage that said it was dog friendly and actually was! Dog bowls available for borrowing and little doggie welcome packs! We would definitely return.

Well positioned, good for small damilies

House is well situated, very near the park and a short walk to town. Access & parking is tight for cars but manageable. Lots of great walks nearby. Good shower, house was clean & good welcome pack.

Another wonderful stay

Birchgate is like home from home. Great location, quiet area and close to the town and good walks. We've been coming every year since 2015 and wouldn't stay anywhere else. Keswick Cottages staff are very good, quick and professional in what they do. They are always available should you need them. Loved the new front and back doors. Loved everything. The dog box is a lovely addition, seen for the first time last year. Our 13th visit to Birchgate - lucky for us! Already booked for next year's visit - can't wait.

Cosy cottage

Cottage was warm and clean, conveniently located with small but adequate parking space. Whole process for booking and gaining entry was very smooth. Small but appreciated welcome pack even though we were only there for 3 nights was a great gesture. Would use Keswick Cottages again; like the local/personal feel they provide.

Quiet, comfortable and well equipped

Quiet location but still very convenient for the centre of town (less than 10 minutes walk). Well equipped kitchen. The bedrooms are conformable with plenty of storage. Front room well furnished and comfortable. Overall an excellent holiday cottage.
