Morven Cottage is situated adjacent to our own house by St. John's Church on Ambleside Road, in a quiet residential area close to the centre of Keswick. It has been furnished, decorated and newly equipped to a very high standard. It is within easy walking distance to all of Keswick's many amenities including the Lakeside theatre, the cinema, the leisure pool and fitness centre,  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! Morven Cottage has its own drive, two private off-road parking spaces adjacent to the cottage and a private patio/garden area with table and chairs. 

Morven Cottage has been inspected and graded at 4 stars by the English Tourism Council.
