Perfect few nights in Keswick

Cottage was clean and comfortable with everything required for a few nights away. Just a 10 minute stroll to the town centre.

Short stay at Byways

Perfect location, walking distance into Keswick town centre. Added bonus of a courtyard garden. We didn’t find the sofa’s very comfortable but apart from that small niggle, 10/10 property.

Great place

A lovely property in a fantastic location only 5 mins walk to centre. Plenty of free parking on the street outside (first come basis). The property had everything we needed and was spotlessly clean on arrival. A nice welcome pack of tea,coffee biscuits and milk and a lovely tub of treats and a toy for our dog which was a lovely thought. Would stay again and have no problm using Keswick cottages again. Easy booking and excellent communication.

Clean, comfortable and convenient

A clean, comfortable house in a quiet location but only a short walk away from the town centre and restaurants, shops etc. The welcome pack was a nice touch, and particularly welcomed by our four-legged friend! Just a few minor issues: - the kitchen door doesn't close securely, so our small dog could easily push it open. The sneck needs adjust. - the stair 'gate' seems past its best. It was tricky to operate and the lock released only after several tries. - whilst it wasn't the weather for sitting out, the outside area, including the small yard, could do with a general clean-up. Despite these minor issues, we would probably stay here again.

Our stay at Byways at a dog friendly cottage

The cottage was lovely and cosy. The location was great for activities and walking the dog. We really appreciated the little hamper left for us. We would definitely return :) Unfortunately we couldn't get the dishwasher to work but this didn't affect out stay.

Peaceful cosy cottage.

I would pretty much reiterate what others have said. It's a nicely maintained, cosy cottage. It's very quiet as it's on one of the less frequented streets in Keswick. Well-equipped kitchen and very comfortable bed in the main bedroom. I chose to book with Keswick Cottages as they are a smaller independent business I believe, with good reviews and I found them friendly and quick to respond to queries. The cottage was ready on time and immaculate on arrival. David.

We’re Regulars

We’ve stayed at Byways every year for perhaps the last 10 years or so, so that tells you all you need to know as far as we are concerned. It’s a nice cosy little house, perfect for the two of us and our two dogs, but also enough room for a couple of extra people as well. It’s in a great location, just a short walk into the town, parking is usually easy enough on the street and the little patio area is great to sit out after a days walk on the fells. It’s furnished to a good standard, the kitchen is reasonably equipped, good bathroom, and the beds are comfortable. Ticks all our boxes.

Excellent as always

We have stayed at Byways numerous times. It’s always spotlessly clean and well presented on the first day, also with a handy kitchen essentials pack. Sofas are comfortable for a rest at the end of a long walk, unless you did that in the pub! Beds are comfortable so you get a good sleep to recover for the next days hike! Great location for a 5-10 walk to the town centre, or an hour in the opposite direction to the top of Walla Crag. We’ll be back again soon!

Byways in the rain again!

Another cosy short break at Byways. Raining again but we can only afford to go out of the peak seasons! The cottage was very clean as usual and has everything we need. Location is walking distance from all facilities and there is plenty of street parking. I think people have mentioned this before but it would be good if arrival time could go back to 2pm instead of 4pm so that some of the first day could be enjoyed

Week away, for our 40th wedding anniversary. 2 adults with dog.

First time in Keswick and with Keswick cottages. Very impressed with both. One minor quibble is not being made aware of complete lack of any kitchen basics, ie salt and pepper. Don't mind that it is not provided, more than happy to bring my own, if made aware. The cottage was Immaculate and the location was perfect. An extra special thank you for the card and bottle of fizz for our wedding anniversary.

Summary of review

This is my 4th stay with Keswick cottages, Byways being the smallest cottage so far, location good very quiet at night patio area very small so no good for dogs. The owners need to provide instructions for appliances on the tablet or paper instructions in a drawer as these come in very handy when needed.

Lovely stay

Excellent location for the town, the lake and local walks. Although there is no dedicated parking, we never had a problem parking close by. Very clean and well equipped. Would love to come back.

Cosy, convenient cottage

We spent a good week in this cosy cottage. It was conveniently situated close to the town and within easy reach of the lake, parks and other places of interest. Any problems were minor. The front door was not easy to open. The garden area was small and could do with some pruning of shrubs. Having said this we have rebooked for next year!

Return to Byways

We have stayed at Byways many times now. It’s quiet but only a few minutes stroll into town. It was very clean as usual and improved by moving the double bed to a larger room. Kitchen is well equipped and has everything we need. A larger, more comfortable sofa would be beneficial after a long day walking. Customer service is efficient and friendly. We will return!

Holiday in Keswick

Our cottage in Keswick delivered above our expectations! It was well prepared for meal prep and dining. The beds offered a good night sleep after hiking. The location was an easy walk to the city park and downtown businesses.

Keswick dog friendly

Great location. Easy walk into keswick but far enough back for it to be quiet and easy to park Beds comfortable and kitchen well equipped. Bathroom/towels/bedding were all nice and clean. However general cleanliness of kitchen equipment and floors could be improved. (under table leg dog hair/ dust)
