Lovely cottage. Clean, well maintained and comfortable. Ideally situated in a quiet area of Keswick. The parking space is a welcome bonus. Nice to see some pheasants and rabbits hopping about the garden. This was our first stay and we plan to return.

Hi, Julie! Thank you for your review, it sounds like you've had a brilliant stay! You, and your pup. Quaver Cottage is a delightful property on the banks of the River Greta, ideally situated for those who want to be close to the town centre, yet still somewhere quiet. We'd love to see a picture of your pooch in Keswick, or the cottage! Please feel free to tag us on Facebook (Keswick Cottages) or Instagram (@keswickcottages). We hope to see you all again soon!

The house is comfortable and well equipped. Central Keswick but with its own parking space and a rural feel from the garden. We’d happily return.

Hi, Richard! Thank you so much for your lovely review of Quaver Cottage! This cottage has an ideal location, especially for self-catering, being so close to Keswick's two supermarkets, Booths and Co-Op. Elliot Park is a very quiet, peaceful area of town, with plenty of parking, including Quaver's own allocated space. It'd be lovely to welcome you again. You know where to find us whenever you're ready for visit two! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

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...

Quaver Cottage

This was our second year staying over the Xmas period at Quaver Cottage, which has a great location with parking and very close to town centre. The house is equipped with everything you need and comfortable. Could possibly do with lounge area brightening up and more powerful shower. Had issue with toilet cistern constantly refilling - noisey during nighttime affecting sleep.

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.

Seeing the New Year in

We've visited Keswick many times always staying in B&B's but this was our first time in a cottage. The B&B's have always served us well but this was definitely a better experience. The moment we walked in the cottage was warm, homely and well equipped. The Christmas tree and decorations we're an unexpected bonus along with the complimentary welcome gifts, even a Christmas card. The kitchen and lounge area were the biggest plus for us over a B&B and it was very nice having a proper bathroom. The bed was very comfortable with very minimal noise from outside. The dedicated parking space and WiFi were also much appreciated.

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.
