Quaver Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

The lounge is very private and has french doors looking out over the rear garden area where you will have frequent visits from the local wildlife! There is a TV, DVD & stereo with DAB radio, CD player and Ipod docking station, very comfortable suite, fire with beech surround, oak dining table and four chairs. A garden table and some chairs are stored under the stairs.

The kitchen has fully fitted units, electric fan oven & gas hob, fridge /freezer, dishwasher, microwave, and washer/dryer.

Upstairs, the king-size room has a solid oak king-size bed, oak bed side tables and wardrobe. This room looks out directly over the River Greta and towards the fells.

The twin room has two solid oak single beds, built in wardrobe and oak drawers. Both bedrooms have co-ordinating bedding and curtains and will be dressed in luxury linen and towels.

The bathroom has a modern white suite. Bath with shower over, WC, wash basin and shaver point.

This quiet, comfortable cottage is only two minutes walk from the town centre yet backs onto the river Greta and overlooks fields towards Portinscale and the fells beyond. Quaver Cottage is in a very quiet location and is ideal for those wishing to get away from the noise of town whilst still being very close to the centre. Gas central heating and fully double glazed. *Complimentary WI-FI Provided* The cottage is suitable for one small dog

The apartment is conveniently situated a stones throw from Booth's supermarket (which has an electric car charging point) and the E-Venture shop for easy bike hire.

Excellent accommodation

A lovely cottage in an ideal location to explore Keswick and beyond. Quaver Cottage is warm and very comfortable and had all that we needed for us to feel very ‘at home’ whilst there. Many thanks to the owners and Keswick Cottages for a very pleasurable booking and holiday experience.

We have stayed in Keswick many times and Quaver Cottage is our favourite by far. It ticks every box for a relaxing break and still be central. A lovely touch this year was a welcome gift for our dog, 100% recommended.

A true home from home

Our 4th stay in Quaver Cottage and as brilliant as always. Very comfortable, well equipped and cleaned to a very high standard. The cottage is in an excellent location, very quiet yet a short walk to the town centre and all the amenities. The only downside was having to leave...

Excellent Location

Quaver cottage was in an excellent location for town centre, Keswick. Situated in a very quiet area. Just a very short walk to the shops, cafes, pubs etc. Also to visit so many places of outstanding beauty. The house has everything you need for a perfect holiday. The beds were so comfortable.

Quaver Cottage Keswick

Excellent all round - can't fault it. I'd certainly stay there again. t Two minutes to supermarket/buses and town centre..... yet exceptionally quiet location. The owners use the property so it's like a home not a holiday let. Loved it.

Lovely cottage in a great location

This was our second time staying at Quaver. Cottage is in a great location close to the Main Street but very quiet. Great having a dedicated parking space and cottage itself is clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.

A perfect place

A delightful and immaculately presented cottage in the centre of Keswick. Equipped with everything you might need for a stay in the heart of the Lake District. Close to all amenities yet tucked away in a quiet corner we thoroughly enjoyed our few days here.

Great place for a short break in Keswick

We selected Quaver cottage as it was in a good location for us, with great access for an event at the Pencil Factory Convention Site and the shops/cafes. Also it was quick and simple to tidy up when it can to leaving. The kitchen was well equipped and the oven and hob were quick to heat up and very effective. Keswick is a great place to stay with a good range of shops and eating places as well so many walks near by.

Lovely house, great location

Quaver Cottage is a lovely comfortable house in great location close to the centre of Keswick. A great bonus is having a parking space. The weather at the beginning of our week was truly awful but we were snug and warm in Quaver Cottage. The end of the wek came good and we enjoyed some fantastic walks and scenery

Beautiful Cottage& Great Location

This was my first visit to Quaver Cottage and it won't be my last. The cottage is lovely and spotlessly clean, Everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is in a brilliant location, 5 mins walk to the main street but still very quiet. I have stayed in lots of self catering accommodation over the years and this has got to be one of the best. We were even lucky with the weather for this time of year. Will definately be back.

Great cottage in perfect location

We had a super week in this well equipped and comfortable cottage sat in a quiet riverside location but only 5-10 minute walk from the town centre. Lots of walks can be accessed without the need to use the car. Car parking space a real bonus and Booths supermarket just at the end of the car park. We definitely recommend and would stay here again if we came back to Keswick.

Another lovely visit!

Quaver cottage is a home from home for us. We’ve lost count of our visits now. Location is great, the cottage is always clean and warm and Keswick is a fabulous place to be. Keswick Cottages always has excellent customer service. Also, big shout out to the local vets who were absolutely amazing when our 14 year old dog became quite poorly. Thanks again and we’ll see you next year!

Review of Quaver Cottage

We've stayed in Quaver Cottage for 15 years while attending the Keswick Convention and have enjoyed our stay. The cottage is well appointed and very well maintained as well as being centrally located. Now even more convenient with the Convention being based in the Pencil Factory. Great cottage.

Perfect location

Another excellent stay with Keswick Cottages at Quaver Cottage. Having stayed elsewhere in Keswick this ticks every box for us. Comfortable and well equipped for our small family. A few minutes walk from the shops, restaurants and lake. A really easy and convenient parking space (unlike others I’ve encountered in Keswick!)…and now that I’ve got an EV, located right by the chargers in Booths car park (and can see when they’re available from the window). Booked again for next year.

Cosy cottage with feathered friends

A cosy cottage that we found clean and comfortable for our stay in keswick. Its location meant we didn’t have to use the car so much and Booths supermarket is just around the corner for bits and bobs. We are already planning our next stay. Oh…be aware that on opening the living room curtains in the morning you will find Phil the pheasant (and sometimes his wife) and Henny the duck waiting for breakfast… :o)

Delightful cottage in good location

We have stayed at Quaver Cottage on 3 occasions. It is well situated for Keswick shops and Booth's supermarket. Also near to the bus station for getting around the area. There is a parking space for each cottage and also a small number of 'guest' parking spaces for visitors. The cottage is well furnished and clean. The rooms are modest in size but adequate and cosy. The location is quiet with no traffic noise even though it is walking distance to Keswick Centre. I would recommend this property for a holiday stay.
