About this property

Positioned close to the lively centre of Keswick is this stone-built terraced property, Derwent Cottage. Spread over three floors, this attractive abode welcomes families eager to escape to the Lake District, with beautiful scenery and charming attractions in every direction. Allow yourself to fall deep into the plush sofa as you listen to the crackle of the woodburning stove, before gathering at the dining table to plan out your upcoming activities for the next few days.

Climb to the first floor and discover the master bedroom, housing a generous super-king-size bed and benefitting from a light and airy aspect due to a tall window, while across the hall rests a fresh bathroom, perfect for rounding off your evenings with a relaxing soak. Climb another set of stairs to reach the final bedrooms, offering a double and a single, both enjoying homely furnishings and Velux windows with views of Catbells and Skiddaw. To the exterior there is a small enclosed courtyard where you can sit out and enjoy the fresh air whilst sipping on your morning coffee, before heading into the town to find the ingredients for a hearty breakfast.
