The Cottage, Twentyman Court, Keswick, Lake District
A small selection of comments from the Cottage guest book over the last 12 months:
"We have had a fantastic holiday. The cottage is cosey and comfortable and we have loved the upstairs lounge with views of Skiddaw. A brilliant location for town and park."
"An excellent cottage, well-equipped and very clean."
"The perfect location for the town and walks."
"This is our third time in this cottage and it feels like coming home."
"We have been very happy and comfortable; we are becoming very struck on this cottage, it is so handy for everything. We shall be back!"
"This is our fifth stay at the cottage and every time it gets better."
"A lovely cottage in a very central location; we were very comfortable."
The Cottage is a fully rebuilt terraced cottage which has been furnished, decorated and equipped to a very high standard. It is located on the edge of the centre of Keswick overlooking the river and park and gives easy level walking to all of Keswick's many amenities including the leisure pool and fitness centre, the new theatre, the cinema, museums, the lake and parks, together with many cafes, restaurants, pubs and shops. Keswick is of course excellent for exploring the Northern, North-Western and Central fells; several ascents can be made straight from the front door! The Cottage has a private off-road parking space (this is a little awkward but certainly possible for a very large car). The cottage has been completely redecorated both inside and out, and a new kitchen fitted, during spring 2007.
The Cottage has been inspected and graded at 4 stars by the English Tourism Council.
