About this property
Deer Close Cottage - sleeps 2 guests in 1 bedroom
Step inside this romantic retreat for two and you will immediately feel right at home. This welcoming Lakeland Cottage is accessed via the large doorway from the patio area, which leads into the spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room. This light and airy room makes the perfect space to cook and dine with delightful views looking toward the fells and Borrowdale Valley. The kitchen is well equipped with electric oven and hob, fridge with freezer shelf, dishwasher, microwave, and plenty of cookware. There is a useful utility room which houses the washer-dryer.
The lovely bedroom has a superking-size bed (can be made up as twin on request) with luxury crisp white bed linen, plenty of storage space, and views either side to the nearby woods and field.
The bathroom has a bath with a shower over it, ideal for relaxing tired muscles after a day out exploring, a recessed washbasin and a handy heated towel rail.
The inviting lounge has comfortable seating, wall-mounted smart TV, and double aspect windows.
There are two pretty patio areas, both with seating. On warmer days these are the ideal spots to gaze at the surroundings and soak up the beauty of this isolated setting while enjoying a moment of calm with a good book or a glass of wine.
Across the drive, the adjacent owner's house and garden are a delight to look out upon, and wildlife, including deer and red squirrels, can often be seen in Great Wood at the rear.
The cottage makes the ideal base for both nature and adventure seekers, as well as those who like the convenience of town amenities nearby. There is an abundance of choice when it comes to walking routes from the doorstep including Derwentwater lakeside and the fells, or why not bring your bike with you to see even more of this beautiful area with pedal power. There is designated lockable storage for bikes and equipment.
The cottage is located just over a mile from vibrant Keswick town centre, an easy walk along a footpath or by the lakeside. There you can explore the unique independent shops, restaurants, cafes, traditional friendly pubs, and the popular market on Thursdays & Saturdays.

Perfect place to stay
Our 3rd stay at Deer Close Cottage and it will definitely not be the last. Its the perfect place to stay for a peaceful and relaxing break & only a few minutes drive to enjoy all the amenities that Keswick has to offer Cross the road at the end of the drive and it's a lovely walk to the Lake or if you just want to chill in the cottage & watch the wildlife & if you are lucky enough you will see deer & red squirrels. Deer Close Cottage is a gem.

Another delightful stay in a beautiful location.
Our second visit to Deer Close Cottage didn't disappoint. Lovely, quiet location, with easy walking access to Keswick. The cottage is well equipped; warm and cosy when the weather is a little chilly and damp, but with peaceful outside space to enjoy when the sun shines. Pheasants, geese, robins and sparrows visited the garden and neighbouring fields, although no sheep and lambs in the front field this year. Thanks too, for the welcoming wine and biccies which greeted us on arrival. I am sure we'll be back again.

A peaceful location in a beautiful area
We had a lovely stay at Deer Close Cottage in Keswick in July. It was a nostalgic return for us as we actually stayed next door 16 years previously when it offered B&B's!
This is a perfect cottage for 2, nestled on the edge of quiet woods, offering stunning views of Catbells opposite and just a 5 minute walk to the lake. We had everything we needed for a relaxing evening after active days walking and cycling. Warm, quiet and comfortable with generous living space and close to Keswick.

An Idyllic holiday experience
Very comfortable cottage where everything was thoughtfully provided. Excellent peaceful location with wildlife visiting outside the backdoor: a pair of pheasants, a deer and variety of birds were regulars. The nearby footpath enabled us to reach the lake easily for walks, bike rides, swims and boat trips as well as easy access to Keswick town. All enhanced by the beautiful weather. Communication was efficient, easy and informative. Very friendly and helpful when I called at late notice to book an extra night.

Delightful first stay at Deer Close Cottage.
Delightful first stay at Deer Close Cottage. Very comfortable, well equipped and great location with lovely views from the property. We were able to walk into Keswick along the footpaths, yet still felt tucked away in the privacy of the countryside. Local wildlife was fun to observe and enhanced the holiday. It was very quiet and peaceful, the facilities were all that we needed and it was especially nice to be able to soak in the bath after a day of fell walking.
I have already shared details of the cottage with a friend who is planning a trip to the Lake District next year.
A couple of (minor) points -
i) the sofa is quite soft and offers little support, although the scatter cushions did help.
ii) one of the saucepans required cleaning as something had been burnt on the base of the pan and a small frying pan seems to be losing its non-stick surface.

Wonderful cozy cottage.
Really enjoyed our stay at Deer cottage, really cosy cottage in beautiful surroundings. Nice walk into town & down to the waters edge. The bus stop isn't to far away either if needed.
Very quiet area, with a abundance of wildlife, enjoyed watching all the birds come & go from the feeders.
We certainly come back here, as we didn't want to leave.

Relaxing Week
We had a relaxing week in this charming, peaceful property. Even though the weather was snowy and bitterly cold we were cosy and slept very well in the very comfortable bed. Lovely walks along the lake from the door. Close to Keswick yet rural, with splendid views from the kitchen/dining area and lounge.

Absolutely Perfect!
We stayed at Deer Close Cottage primarily due to it's location in the Borrowdale Valley. We are 'bagging' the Wainwrights and the cottage is close enough to tick a few more off. It is only a short and very lovely walk into Keswick for a 'down' day and food/drink.
The cottage is as beautiful as it looks on the website in a stunning, peaceful location. We were so pleased and the cottage far exceeded our expectations. It is extremely well equipped and so cosy, a home from home and not compact, such lovely space. There are lovely views from all rooms, perfect if staying in on a rainy day. Wildlife is abundant if you like watching birds/deer/cows, just bring a sack of bird food you will be constantly entertained! Lying in bed at night you can hear owls in the adjacent woods.... bliss. The owners are perfect hosts. Deer close cottage is situated in the immaculate grounds of their beautiful home and contactable if you have any questions otherwise you are left in total privacy. The terraces to the front and year are a blissful place to relax on a sunny day. To summarise, this cottage is 'Absolutely Perfect'! We will definitely be returning.

Another superb stay at a wonderful cottage.
Our second visit to Deer Close Cottage. Very comfortable and great location. Only 1.5 mile walk into Keswick. Peaceful and lovely birds that visit the garden. Look forward to booking again with Keswick Cottages, great people who treat you like a human not just a booking number. Thanks for the wine and biscuits.
