Fabulous cottage and location

We had a wonderful stay at Quaver Cottage, which is a fantastically comfortable home from home. The living room is very comfy, the kitchen is fabulously stocked with good quality utensils, the bathroom is spotless with an excellent shower and the master bedroom was incredibly comfortable. We slept marvellously well. Also, we thoroughly enjoyed filling the bird feeder in the tree with the seed in the container by the sink and watching the finches, sparrows and some very greedy pheasants; adorable. And Booths is on the doorstep; what more could you ask for? This was our second stay at Quaver Cottage and we will definitely be returning after another fantastically restful break. Thanks to the entire Keswick Cottages’ team.

Short winter break

Super cottage in a great location. The property had everything we needed and was perfectly located for access to Keswick and its beautiful walks. Myself my wife and Bailey the cavapoo will be back. Loved it.

Delightful cottage in good location

We have stayed at Quaver Cottage on 3 occasions. It is well situated for Keswick shops and Booth's supermarket. Also near to the bus station for getting around the area. There is a parking space for each cottage and also a small number of 'guest' parking spaces for visitors. The cottage is well furnished and clean. The rooms are modest in size but adequate and cosy. The location is quiet with no traffic noise even though it is walking distance to Keswick Centre. I would recommend this property for a holiday stay.

quaver cottage stay

Good location for elderly as only short walk to all facilities so did not use our car for 2week stay. Bath/shower was difficult to get into for older people - support handle on wall was not reachable for shorter person from out of bath. Everything needed was provided in the cottage. Help, when needed, was rapidly available from Keswick Cottages

A Keswick gem

We try to visit Keswick every year and Quaver Cottage is our favourite stay and always book through Keswick Cottages. We have had no issues over the last 8 years or so. No hesitation in recommending the above.

October Break

The property is so central, very clean and private parking a real bonus. We have stayed in many holiday properties throughout the UK and this is the first one which didn't have the minimum fresh milk in the fridge and a spare toilet roll!! Sachets in a box not really appreciated. Apart from.the excellent bus services we found Keswick and surrounds ridiculously expensive. Yes, it's a holuday destination with a captive audience which I do understand as I'm from Cornwall but it should be flagged as a concern going forward. We did have a very enjoyable holiday. Thank you.

Excellent accommodation

A lovely cottage in an ideal location to explore Keswick and beyond. Quaver Cottage is warm and very comfortable and had all that we needed for us to feel very ‘at home’ whilst there. Many thanks to the owners and Keswick Cottages for a very pleasurable booking and holiday experience.

A true home from home

Our 4th stay in Quaver Cottage and as brilliant as always. Very comfortable, well equipped and cleaned to a very high standard. The cottage is in an excellent location, very quiet yet a short walk to the town centre and all the amenities. The only downside was having to leave...

Excellent all round - can't fault it. I'd certainly stay there again. t Two minutes to supermarket/buses and town centre..... yet exceptionally quiet location. The owners use the property so it's like a home not a holiday let. Loved it.

Excellent Location

Quaver cottage was in an excellent location for town centre, Keswick. Situated in a very quiet area. Just a very short walk to the shops, cafes, pubs etc. Also to visit so many places of outstanding beauty. The house has everything you need for a perfect holiday. The beds were so comfortable.

Another lovely visit!

Quaver cottage is a home from home for us. We’ve lost count of our visits now. Location is great, the cottage is always clean and warm and Keswick is a fabulous place to be. Keswick Cottages always has excellent customer service. Also, big shout out to the local vets who were absolutely amazing when our 14 year old dog became quite poorly. Thanks again and we’ll see you next year!

Great place for a short break in Keswick

We selected Quaver cottage as it was in a good location for us, with great access for an event at the Pencil Factory Convention Site and the shops/cafes. Also it was quick and simple to tidy up when it can to leaving. The kitchen was well equipped and the oven and hob were quick to heat up and very effective. Keswick is a great place to stay with a good range of shops and eating places as well so many walks near by.

Lovely house, great location

Quaver Cottage is a lovely comfortable house in great location close to the centre of Keswick. A great bonus is having a parking space. The weather at the beginning of our week was truly awful but we were snug and warm in Quaver Cottage. The end of the wek came good and we enjoyed some fantastic walks and scenery

Beautiful Cottage& Great Location

This was my first visit to Quaver Cottage and it won't be my last. The cottage is lovely and spotlessly clean, Everything you need for a comfortable stay. It is in a brilliant location, 5 mins walk to the main street but still very quiet. I have stayed in lots of self catering accommodation over the years and this has got to be one of the best. We were even lucky with the weather for this time of year. Will definately be back.

Cosy cottage great location

Great location close to the town centre, the supermarket and the bus station whilst being quiet and peaceful. As ever with Keswick Cottages managed properties the cottage is very well equipped, immaculately clean and with nice arrival packs that help to enhance the stay.

Great cottage in perfect location

We had a super week in this well equipped and comfortable cottage sat in a quiet riverside location but only 5-10 minute walk from the town centre. Lots of walks can be accessed without the need to use the car. Car parking space a real bonus and Booths supermarket just at the end of the car park. We definitely recommend and would stay here again if we came back to Keswick.

A perfect place

A delightful and immaculately presented cottage in the centre of Keswick. Equipped with everything you might need for a stay in the heart of the Lake District. Close to all amenities yet tucked away in a quiet corner we thoroughly enjoyed our few days here.

Perfect location

Another excellent stay with Keswick Cottages at Quaver Cottage. Having stayed elsewhere in Keswick this ticks every box for us. Comfortable and well equipped for our small family. A few minutes walk from the shops, restaurants and lake. A really easy and convenient parking space (unlike others I’ve encountered in Keswick!)…and now that I’ve got an EV, located right by the chargers in Booths car park (and can see when they’re available from the window). Booked again for next year.

Fantastic

We’ve stayed here about 6 times now and it’s a great little cottage in an ideal location. Lovely to see the pheasants, ducks and robins in the garden. Beautifully clean and warm when we arrived. Keswick cottages has outstanding customer service and fixed the issue with the missing internet cable within 30 minutes! Thank you again!

Comfortable cottage in excellent location.

Comfortable cottage in a quiet location, yet very handy for town and supermarket! A well equipped kitchen, and books, magazines and games for a rainy day. Only criticism is that (like most holiday cottages) there is a need for SIMPLE instructions for appliances. Downloads of installation manuals are no good - what is needed is a one sheet idiot's guide. e.g. cooker quite hard to understand, and gave up on radio in kitchen. Bathroom a bit awkward because of fixed shower screen: you needed arms like a gorilla to reach bathroom taps before getting in!!

Lovely cottage in a great location

This was our second time staying at Quaver. Cottage is in a great location close to the Main Street but very quiet. Great having a dedicated parking space and cottage itself is clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
