The modern and well equipped slate floored kitchen features a gas hob with electric oven, dishwasher and microwave, and a downstairs cloakroom leading off the kitchen has a WC, sink and washing machine.

Upstairs the master bedroom, with views of Catbells and beyond, boasts a king-sized bed and plenty of storage space.

A second double room features twin beds and similarly dramatic views.

The third bedroom, looking out onto Latrigg, has a single/small double bed. All bedrooms include cool cotton linens and towels.

Coleridge cottage

We had a lovely stay. Perfect location. Great size. Nice and homely. Beds comfy. Kitchen Well equipped. We had doggy welcome packs and an essentials kit. Milk coffee etc. very useful arriving late. Close parking and bonus car park across the way. Downsides…. The shower didn’t drain great and the overall cleanliness could have been better. For us a grassed area would have been handy for fussy dogs but we just went over the road. None of the minuses would stop us from re booking. Keswick cottages communication was great. Emails easy to understand and replied to quickly. Over all a nice week spent with family in the place we love. Thank you

Wonderful few days away in a perfect location.

Wonderful few days away in Coleridge Cottage. Location was perfect with parking just a short walk away. I didn’t use the car once while here. An abundance of walks right from the doorstep. Although the property is on a main road into Keswick it was so quiet and peaceful. Just a five minute stroll into town centre. Everything about the property was excellent except that with one shower and toilet upstairs and one toilet downstairs, it might have been a bit difficult with a family or group staying there. Communication with Keswick Cottages was excellent. All information given before and after stay made it very easy. I couldn’t get TV to work (followed instructions) but didn’t contact anyone as I decided to enjoy the peace and quiet! Overall a fantastic stay in a great location.
Response from VrboOwner on 5 March 2026
Hi, Alison! Thank you so much for your lovely and thoughtful review — it really made us smile. We’re delighted you had a wonderful few days at Coleridge Cottage. It’s such a great spot for exploring, and we completely agree that having so many walks right from the doorstep (and being able to forget about the car!) is one of the big perks of staying there. We’re really glad the cottage felt peaceful despite being on the main road, and that the short stroll into town worked perfectly for you. It’s also lovely to hear that everything in the property was excellent overall. You’re absolutely right that the bathroom layout is best suited to couples or small groups, and your feedback is very helpful for future guests. And thank you for your kind words about our communication — we do try to make everything easy and stress?free from start to finish, so it means a lot to hear that it helped. As for the TV, we’re so sorry it didn’t play ball for you. If that ever happens again, please do give us a ring — even if you decide to embrace the peace and quiet in the end! We’re always more than happy to help, and we could’ve had someone pop over to sort it in no time. Most importantly, we’re thrilled you had a fantastic stay in such a lovely location. We’d be delighted to welcome you back whenever you’re next in Keswick. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great place

Great place to stay. Very clean and spacious. Bike shed is a bonus and parking near by. On the main road but frosted front window so still feels private.
Response from VrboOwner on 26 April 2025
Thank you for your 5* review of Coleridge Cottage, we are happy to hear you had a lovely stay! Coleridge, despite being on the main road offers a peaceful retreat for it's guests, and is a stones throw from all Keswick's attractions and amenities. We hope you managed to enjoy some of the local bike trails too! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Needs a clean

Location is ideal but cleanliness is not to the standard we are used to when booking with Keswick cottages. Cobwebs in living area , dust on sofas and tables. Walls could do with painting too. None of these are huge issues just annoyances as was the fact we had to buy batteries for the central heating thermostat to maintain the heating and hot water. Fortunately one of our party is a heating engineer so knew how to fix the problem. Reasonably well equipped and it wouldn’t take much to have changed this review to a 5 star one.

Very spacious cottage. Well maintained. On the main street but not at all noisy. Very convenient for central Keswick facilities, 23 min walk. Would stay again for sure and Keswick cottage staff very helpful and knowledgeable. Parking nearby was easy.

Coleridge Cottage.

A lovely cottage in a handy location close to the town centre. Parking 300 yards away so difficult to unload and load up as double yellow lines outside. Internally very nice and a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. All in all highly recommended but be aware of the parking issue.
Response from VrboOwner on 16 September 2025
Hi Steve, Thank you for your review. Coleridge Cottage is in a great location, very close to the town centre and all of the shops and restaurants. The cottage itself is the perfect home from home and the log burner in the lounge makes it extra cosy. We hope the parking situation didn't affect your holiday too much and you still had a fantastic time. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Perfect location

2nd stay in this lovely house. The location on the very edge of town is perfect for a diverse group , everyone can go out of the front door and do whatever they want then meet up later for a meal at the massive dining table. Great to get a parking permit as we hardly used the car.

Recent Vacation 2024

As ever the stay at the cottage was excellent in our eyes. As usual the property was spick and span with all the necessary items to have an enjoyable stay. The property is within walking distance to the town centre, Booths and Derwentwater, hence why we choose the property yet again for our stay. The only issue that we didn't realise this time, was that the car could not be parked in carpark opposite the house as we could do in the past. This was our error in not reading the full description of the property which did mention the change. We parked in the Central Carpark for the duration of our holiday with no issues.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 March 2024
Thank you so much for this 5-star review! We love that you're returning guests to Coleridge Cottage and that the cottage was excellent as usual. The location of the cottage is ideal for a short stroll to the town centre, booths or to the shore of Derwentwater. The complimentary digital parking permit is for any of the long stay car parks and its a great bonus to have. We hope you had a wonderful time during your stay at Coleridge Cottage again. We hope to see you again in the near future! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Incredible

I was going to title this review no words! However I do have plenty!!! Im just not sure they'll be enough. What a beautiful weekend we had. Not only was the cottage absolutely stunning both inside and out byt the support we had from the keswick cottage team were second to none. The cottage itself was better then we pictured from both the images we saw and descriptions provided. It qas so spacious and beautiful. It was so clean on arrival and the added extra of a Christmas tree just made it extra special. All the details provided on how to look after the cottage, attractions near by, what to do and extras * such as additional parking, wood provided just made it hassle free, no stress and felt like home!!! We had an amazing weekend. We visit keswick all the time and have done for years and years and I nust say this time everything felt so homely and made us all feel so content and happy. But the team are the real star of the show here.... nothing was to big or small. They were so supportive, considerate, thoughtful, kind, attentive and made our stay that extra special. Any questions were answered so quickly and were always there for help if needed (although we didnt need anything whilst there). Everything down to direction to the cottage and parking were so detailed and nothing was missed. I dont think myself, friends and family will ever book with anyone else again! Thank you so much for the team for making our little Christmas girls weekend extra special. :)

A lovely, spacious cottege in a great location.

We had a lovely week stay at Coleridge cottage. It is ideally situated, being a short stroll into Keswick town centre. Unloading the cars with our belongings took about 10 minutes, shuttling it across from the carpark, directly opposite. The road is quite busy, but there is a pedestrian crossing, roughly 50m from the cottage, making it a safe process. The cottage itself was very clean and well equipped and we took advantage of using the log burner on a couple of occasions, which was nice. Plenty of room in the Kitchen, which was also well equiped. I would suggest a vew more glasses/ tumblers, for that nightcap ;) (Brandy, whiskey, Baileys etc) & would also recommend the provision of a First aid kit and possibly a wall mounted rechargable torch, for those late evening, dark dog toilet breaks . We used the grassy areas, directly across the road from this purpose, which was ideal. All in all, an excellent place to stay and wouldn't hesitate to recommend.
Response from VrboOwner on 16 October 2024
Thank you for your fabulous review, we're really glad that you enjoyed your stay at Coleridge Cottage and got to make use of the log burning stove, it's certainly getting to the time of year for it. A nightcap in front of the fire sounds like a fabulous way to relax after a day out and we're sure that the pooch will have loved it too! Thank you also for your helpful comments and suggestions, we will be sure to pass these on to the owners. We hope to host you again soon for another Lakeland stay. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Coleridge Cottage

We have stayed at Coleridge Cottage before but on this visit we were pretty disappointed and will not be booking it again. The lack of adequate parking close to the property is a major draw back especially when unloading and loading gear. Cleanliness of the cottage was not great either, badly stained rugs, discarded sweet wrappers, human hair, corroded cutlery, chipped mugs, old dried food on cutlery and plates. Although disappointing it did ruin our holiday and having stayed with Keswick Cottages before we know this is not their normal standard of delivery but we will not be booking Coleridge again.
