Birchgate stay

A lovely cosy cottage close to Fitz park and the town centre. Beautifully furnished throughout. Could just do with a tea tray and some subtle lighting in the kitchen.

Keswick Cottages must be doing something right!

As good (and it was very good) as the first time we stayed here - 14 years of annual visits. Long may it continue.

Centrally located

Birchgate is situated, in a quiet location, a short walk from Upper Fitz Park and the town centre. A small cottage but very cosy and comfortable. Everything you require for a stay is supplied, the kitchen was well equipped to be used as much or as little as you like. The cottage has the bonus of a driveway which is suitable for a mid range SUV with a bit of shunting.

Our 11th stay at Birchgate

We wouldn't stay anywhere else in Keswick. The cottage has everything we need for a great Holiday. We are coming back in November and have already booked for Spring 2026 too. The cottage is very comfortable, in an ideal location and has everything you need for a great stay.

Well positioned, good for small damilies

House is well situated, very near the park and a short walk to town. Access & parking is tight for cars but manageable. Lots of great walks nearby. Good shower, house was clean & good welcome pack.

Lovely cottage in Keswick

Ideal location for walks in and around Keswick. The cottage was perfect for the two of us with the added advantage of off road parking.

Cosy cottage

Cottage was warm and clean, conveniently located with small but adequate parking space. Whole process for booking and gaining entry was very smooth. Small but appreciated welcome pack even though we were only there for 3 nights was a great gesture. Would use Keswick Cottages again; like the local/personal feel they provide.

Lovely Cottage, Great Location

We have stayed at Birchgate many times and really enjoyed our stay each time. We particularly appreciate the location close to town centre in Keswick and parking on site. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable and we noted and enjoyed the various improvements and updates this year. Service from Keswick Cottages was friendly and efficient as always. We hope to return next year!

Quiet, comfortable and well equipped

Quiet location but still very convenient for the centre of town (less than 10 minutes walk). Well equipped kitchen. The bedrooms are conformable with plenty of storage. Front room well furnished and comfortable. Overall an excellent holiday cottage.

An excellent base for exploring the Lakeland fells

Perfect for a couple or young family - 4 adults might find the accommodation a bit cramped. Not sure how warm the property would be for a Winter stay. As usual in an older property a little TLC would not go amiss in a few places but this in no way detracted from our stay.

Mid week stay

We have stayed at Birchgate many times over the years. On our last visit the property needed updating and redecoration. This has been carried out to a high standard and as a result we were extremely impressed and as a family had an excellent time. As usual excellent service from Keswick Cottages and we will definitely be back.

Doggie hols

Our elderly dog loved it, especially as there were large rugs on the laminate flooring so she didn’t slip. The location was perfect for her and loved her jaunts to the park opposite to watch for rabbits! The lake was within walking distance for her too.

Birchgate

We had a lovely stay at Birchgate. The cottage is really well equipped, especially the kitchen. It is cosy and warm. The cottage was spotless and tidy. Great to have parking and an enclosed garden. The location is great, right next to the park and the town centre. Loads of walks without having to take the car anywhere. We and our dog loved it and hope to stay again.

Birchgate Keswick

Have stayed many times before - a comfortable and cosy cottage with parking and close to Keswick centre. Plenty of walks from the door too. There were some dog hairs as pets are allowed. Overall, well equipped and furnished.
