Located in the heart of Cumbria's Lake District, an Area of Oustanding Natural Beauty and a hugely popular visitor destination, Keswick holiday cottages are perfectly placed to immerse yourself amongst the most stunning landscapes; rolling hills, deep forests, impressive lakes, and swathes of wild, open green spaces. The bustling town is located next to Derwentwater, just four miles away from Bassenthwaite Lake and close to other attractions such as the world-class mountain bike courses and Gruffalo walking trail at Whinlater Forest.
Within Keswick yourself you will find plenty of visual appeal, with plenty of old stone buildings, including elegant Victorian and Georgian villages, as well as whitewashed low cottages, cobbled lanes and a bustling, thriving town centre packed with visitor accommodation, independent shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants. By choosing Keswick holiday cottages as a couple, or within a group, you can select comfortable and cosy accommodation in easy strolling distance of the main attractions.
From Keswick, the vast outdoor playground of The Lake District awaits, with cycling, walking, horse-riding, climbing, swimming, sailing and plenty more to keep you busy and active. Visit Skiddaw or head to Derwentwater for watersports and a boating trip, wander around the ancient town market to pick up some souvenirs, hike in the fells or take place in guided outdoor sports and activities such as climbing or paragliding (Keswick is one of the UK's leading Outdoor Activity destinations.) Alternatively stroll around the theatre, art gallery, Pencil museum and various other local landmarks including stately homes with links to famous local author, Beatrix Potter.
One of the best things about booking Keswick holiday cottages is that most of the accommodation on offer is extremely high-quality and welcoming to dogs. You'll find cosy Keswick holiday cottages with parking, larger accommodation options for bigger groups, outdoor areas - sometimes with a hot tub and BBQ, broadband, comfortable furnishings and more - perfect for relaxing after a busy day outdoors!
