Super midweek stay in Keswick

This was our 4th time staying in Fairbank, it’s a great location for us just across the footbridge from Fitz park which means we can exercise our dog easily first thing and be in the town centre within 5 minutes on an evening. Keswick Cottages are highly recommended to book with.

Perfect Location!

This was our 3rd stay at Fairbank and we book it purely for the location: love the ease of access to the town centre, yet there's a feeling of being in the countryside due to the quiet lane and view of the river and park. The house is absolutely fine: the bed is comfy, it's warm and has a little suntrap of a garden at the back. If I were to suggest improvements it would be: provide a long length mirror and a large pot for cooking. We'll definitely be back!!!

Stunning location

Ideally located just yards away from the footbridge over the Greta into Fitz Park. A beautifully decorated cottage, very comfortable and a great place to stay. Beds very comfortable, and having the sound of the river flowing by is just lovely.

Lovely cottage in great location.

Situated right next to Fitz park ( with access via a bridge) and a 5/10 min stroll to Keswick town centre makes the location ideal nearby car parking is provided. The small front and rear gardens allowed us to make the most of the sunshine whilst there and the accommodation was spot on. A well equipped kitchen and dining area. A good sized lounge downstairs and 2 good sized bedrooms upstairs and spacious bathroom. In the lounge was a cupboard with games,dvds,CDs and books. The whole property is freshly decorated, modern and very comfortable.

Fairbank review

Great little cottage, good location, perfect for dog owners, it’s a two bed cottage but a bit small for 4 adults, better for a small family, lovely and cosy well equipped everything you need, looks out over Fitz park with access from the front of the cottage, no parking but a permit is issued for Otley Rd car park which is only round the corner you can also use it in the long stay and lakeside car parks, very handy when busy. A perfect little cottage.

Fairbank Cottage

We chose the property principally because of the location. Close to central Keswick and with easy access to Fitz Park which is a popular dog friendly park. The cottage itself exceeded our expectations. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Cannot identify any equipment that was not there. We are planning to visit again in 2025.

Another great stay in Keswick

We had a great week at Fairbank. The cottage was in the perfect location for enjoying everything Keswick has to offer. We enjoyed being next to Fitz Park for early morning dog walks and the view from the main bedroom was stunning. Bedrooms were really nice with very comfortable beds and the kitchen was well equipped. Would have preferred a more comfortable sofa as it was quite small. Had a few problems getting parked in the long stay car parks as Keswick was very busy when we stayed. That said we would happily stay at Fairbank again. We had great service from Keswick Cottages and will definitely be looking to book with them again next year.

A Very Comfortable Cottage

We have stayed at other cottages with Keswick Cottages, so we knew that the Fairbank would be just as comfortable as the previous cottages , we have stayed at. The Fairbank is a lovely cottage, decorated very tastefully inside. You walk through the front door straight into the kitchen area. Which is excellent and there is an area to leave muddy boots before entering the rest of the cottage. The beds are very comfy for a good nights sleep, and a recliner chair was excellent for relaxing in after a long day on the fells. The cottage looks out on a park area which is ideal for walking our dog morning and evening, and the Skiddaw range. Also the position is excellent for accessing the centre of Keswick and the Amenities.

fantastic

This was our third stay at Fairbank. Yet again it didn't disappoint. The cottage is very welcoming, warm and provides a well stocked kitchen if you choose to cook. With the added bonus of the dishwasher. I cannot think of any negatives and would definitely recommend Fairbank to anyone who wishes to visit the Lake District. Ideal location for walking, car used once during our stay, as the bus didn't go to Buttermere. A parking permit is provided with the car being parked about a minute away for the cottage. Also thank you to Keswick Cottages as booking through them is so easy and communication prior to arrival excellent. Hopefully we will be back at Fairbank for a fourth time fairly soon

Fairbank cottage

Beautiful cottage with small front and back garden, it was very clean and had all the facilities you need. The view over Fitz park from the Kitchen was very nice. Could not fault the cottage. Left the car in Otley road car park all week which was 2 minute walk after unloading our luggage outside the cottage itself, and you could be in the town center in less than 10 minutes walking. Found the bed was very comfortable. There is games and even jigsaws to do for entertainment. My grandson loved walking in Fitz park every morning taking our Golden retriever for a short walk before starting the day. There was no traffic noise only the sound of the river Greta making it very peaceful. I would not hesitate in booking the cottage again. My only regret is that we had to come home...
