Beautiful Keswick Cottage

Visiting Keswick doesn’t come much better when combined with a stay at pretty Crag Cottage. Located down a quiet cul-de-sac just 75 yards from Keswick town square, our traditional two bedroom rustic cottage is superbly positioned.

Crag has is tastefully decorated and presented to a high standard. It is ideal for a couple, friends or small family. There is a petite and secluded patio garden with mature shrubs at the cottages front. This area is ideal for enjoying an alfresco dinner, and there is the benefit of private parking to the rear of the property.

This lovely Keswick cottage has been traditionally styled to suit the history of the property. There are, of course, all the mod cons and comforts expected in a high quality holiday home – WiFi Internet access, flat screen tv, dvd, central heating, comfortable beds – but also some nice traditional aspects such as handmade oak shelving and a cosy wood burning stove.

Keswick is a beautiful town with great parks, good shopping, quality restaurants, an amazing theatre, stunning scenery and much more. The main town square is centred around the famous Moot Hall, now the Keswick tourist information centre, and market days are on Thursdays and Saturdays. Many of the shops and restaurants surround the pedestrianised square and there is always something to do. Crag Cottage sits down a sleepy and quiet cul-de-sac about 150 yards from the Moot Hall.

Please be aware that there are two self catering properties called Crag Cottage in Keswick. Ours is very close to Keswick town square, has private parking and a patio garden, the other doesn’t!

Our cottages are completely non-smoking and unfortunately we don’t accept pets.

SUPER COTTAGE.

Crag Cottage is a lovely home from home. Ideally situated just a very short distance from Keswick town centre, but quiet & peaceful too. Well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. High quality furniture & fixtures. The only reservation we had was the need to "tidy up" the interior white-work & update the porch/back door where the wood is rotten. However, this doesn't detract from what is a super Keswick cottage. We loved our stay at Crag Cottage & were sad to leave. Thank you Ariadna.

RENTERS BEWARE: MOLD AND PLUMBING ISSUES

Great location - bad conditions. Pictures and reviews are old. Won’t return. See photo documentation. We have stayed at countless Vrbo places over 20 years, and this is the first bad review that I regretfully have to write - for your information. We decided to work around it since it was a short stay. However, on our last day when I told the owner that these things should be fixed “before renting again”, they said they were aware of it but wouldn’t be doing anything until the fall!! Therefore, you are stuck with these conditions. New tub, but thick mold and rot around. Makes you not want to go in. Sink barely drains. The owner said it was “a problem in the area”, but that is incorrect. The tub and kitchen sink drain well. The sink pop-up needs to be removed and the drain cleaned out. It’s easy, but messy. Now add general housekeeping issues, all easy to do - but weren’t done: Crumbs all around back of kitchen chairs. Cutlery and glass ware left with a film. Didn’t want to touch them. Needed to thooughly wash all. Pan left in oven with old bits inside - don’t want to know about that. Carpeting/flooring feels greasy in areas and “sticky” in others. Stained old leather couch, yuck. Couldn’t sit there without putting a blanket down.

Cottage stay

Perfect convenient location in the centre of Keswick while also nice and quiet. Good communication from the owner, and a nice little cottage to stay in. However, the cottage could have been better prepared and stocked, as we needed to ask for toiled paper and firewood from the owner after discovering they weren't there, and a few items you would expect were either running low or exhausted - sugar, salt / pepper, washing up liquid etc. Also could do with a little maintenance in the bathroom - the shower screen leaks water onto the floor, and the bath plughole is partially blocked.

A few days away

I was looking for a place to sleep and relax in whilst exploring the town and venturing further out on the trails. This cottage was perfect for that! On the back of the main high street so you couldn’t ask for a better place location wise! Would happily stay again!

Keswick break away

Great little cottage right in heart of beautiful Keswick. Location excellent and the bonus of parking. Plenty of room in cottage and easily could accommodate 4 although owners only allow 3. It was only the 2 of us so we only used one bedroom. The other room is very spacious with a single bed. Love walking in the fells and climbed the cat bells. Great few days away and would recommend staying here.

Great stay

Amazing property for my husband and I to stay in for a short break to Keswick. The cottage was warm, cozy and beautifully decorated. There was plenty of space to move around and had everything that we could want as a home away from home. The location of the property was brilliant as it was just a short walk to the main street where all the shops, bars and restaurants are. Also just a short walk away from the lake. Had an amazing time at the cottage and will definitely be back. Would recommend this cottage.
