About this property

Abacourt Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 5 guests in 3 bedrooms

The cottage is very central, close to Fitz park and only a minutes walk to the shops, pubs and restaurants of Keswick, and is ideally situated for all amenities. There is parking for one car at the rear of the cottage and also a parking permit for additional parking less than 50 metres away. The cottage is double glazed and has remote controlled gas central heating throughout. At the front of the cottage there is a small area with slate chips and potted shrubs.

As you enter the cottage you will appreciate the spacious, well furnished open plan lounge. The lounge has two comfortable leather sofas. There is a traditional Lakeland slate and mineral fireplace with an electric stove, ideal for cosy nights in. The dining area has an oak dining table and six chairs and pine dresser. This room is well lit and very comfortable.

To the back of the cottage is the kitchen which is compact but very well equipped. Facilities include gas oven and hob, dishwasher, fridge with a small freezing compartment, microwave and all equipment needed for your holiday. From the kitchen there is a small porch with a washing machine and clothes dryer.

On the first floor there are two good sized bedrooms. The twin bedroom has two single beds, oak furniture and looks out to the front towards the town. A wall mounted TV and DVD player is provided. The second bedroom is a single room with views towards Latrigg and Skiddaw. On this floor is the beautiful newly refurbished bathroom which is fully tiled, nicely finished and has bath with rain shower over, WC and wash basin.

The master bedroom is on the second floor. This is a large room with beams and sloping ceilings and has fabulous views from both windows. The room itself is very nicely furnished with double bed, quality oak furniture but with the added benefit of two wicker chairs, a small table and TV with compact DVD player - a room to escape from other members of the party! Now with new ensuite toilet and basin. From the master bedroom there is access over the windowsill to the roof terrace with seating. There is sun on this terrace all day and the views over the rooftops to the fells are stunning and constantly changing. All bedrooms are beautifully presented with luxury linen and towels. Complimentary Wi-Fi is available throughout the cottage.

Great accommodation and location

We really enjoyed our stay at Abacourt Cottage. The cottage is well equipped and perfect for our group of 4 adults, 1 child, 1 baby and a dog. Location is perfect, only seconds away from the shops, pubs and restaurants, with the park a 2 minute walk away. Keswick is lovely and a great base for exploring the Lake District. Keswick Cottages were great, very friendly and kept us informed at all times. They sent a maintenance guy round the same day when we had an issue. Highly recommended.

A super stay

Our second stay and booked for next year. A shavers point in the bathroom and a mirror above the sink in the top floor toilet would be handy.

A pleasant week

The location was ideal and it was of reasonable value for the 5 of us. I love sitting out on the balcony in an evening. This is the 4th year we have stayed in the cottage because we have always been satisfied up until now. Sadly the house is in need of some TLC. The tiles in the bathroom were held on with duct tape, not ideal, and I would say that it needs a deep clean. Skirting boards were covered in dust, the small chest of drawers in the single room had juice spilled down the front and was sticky and the inside of the front living room window was covered in fingerprints. The drawers’ interiors and inside the wardrobes hadn’t been dusted since I don’t know when, and I don’t think the dirt on the back of the bathroom door had been cleaned since I washed it last year. Although the floors had been washed and were still damp when we arrived, they had been mopped with a sour mop making the rooms smell off. We bought floor wipes to over come this. Also when we arrived a curtain rail was hanging off the wall, however it was promptly fixed on our first evening. This cottage has so much to offer and is in a super location but it needs a good “spruce up” and that includes the weeds at the front door. I have in the past recommended this cottage to quite a few people, however in its current condition I don’t feel I can at the moment.

Great value for money

This property is great value for money. Could do with a little bit of deor makeover in living room , a bit dated (sorry).but this may put people off which is otherwise a great rental. Very comfortable beds, bedrooms were lovely and spacious and very clean. One bedroom at the top of the property has a great view of Latrigg and Skiddaw on your own private balcony with chairs and a table. Great for a coffee on a morning . Massive added bonus is your own parking space at the rear of the property. Which, if you're a regular visitor to Keswick you'll knoe can sometimes be a problem. The property is vert central and a everything in Keswick is right on your doorstep,literally. Would highly recommend

Cottage near town centre so easy access to restaurants, shops and all the facilities. An easy walk to the lake and to parks. Dogs welcome and many gentle walks close by. The property was spotlessly clean, very warm and welcoming.

Lovely house in a good location

We stayed here for two nights to climb Scafell Pike. It’s a 30 minute drive from Seathwaite where we started the hike. The pictures don’t do the house justice, the property is clean and well furnished. The kitchen was a little on the small side but it wasn’t a problem for us. I highly recommend the property and I would definitely stay there again.

Excellent Central Location

The property is situated on a main road so there is some traffic noise but you would expect that from such a central location. Parking facilities are excellent. We easily got a medium car in the space available. We were lucky enough to be able to eat on the terrace balcony three times- amazing views. Overall would highly recommend

Traditional cottage in a great location

Handy to have toilet attached to top room, and bathroom was clean and modern. The boot space near back door was very helpful. We enjoyed being a short walk from everything we needed in Keswick. Car parking space at the back was quite tight and you do have quite a few people walking passed the front window. Overall we enjoyed our stay, and Keswick staff were very responsive, but compared to other cottages we have stayed in, we felt for the high price, there was a lack of a attention to detail, and the cottage apart from bathroom had not been improved for quite a long time, sofa’s could have been more comfortable, and more spare toilet roll left.

A super cottage.

This was a super cottage in an ideal location, we probably paid slightly more because we booked later than normal and for only 5 nights. Having said that, we were very happy with the house and have booked it for 7 nights next year. There was plenty room for the 5 of us (all adults) and we particularly enjoyed the balcony on the top floor and it’s views. It was spotlessly clean and we appreciated the welcome kit. (Improvement)Suggestions: - A mirror in the upstairs toilet, and a socket for an electric razor in the bathroom. - If travelling with 2 cars use the parking space at the back of the house for the smaller car….turning space is tight.

Central Keswick Stay

The cottage is an excellent base being so close to the shops & also in walking distance to some great walks. The cottage was adequately equipped. The highlight being the outside seating area off the master bedroom. It was nice eating outside in privacy whilst enjoying great views of the surrounding mountains. Parking was a bonus for central Keswick, but beware it is really tight & only a small or medium size car will fit. To compensate a parking permit was a good gesture. In summary we would recommend provided it doesn't go up too much in cost

A few days away

Great location close to the high st, great parking facilities we just had the one car which there is parking for and they provide additional parking in a long stay carpark a minutes walk away . Properly meet our needs , only downsides was it was quite dusty felt like no one had stayed in a while, and the sofa wasn’t the comfiest , no cushions on them either . Either than that was a nice place
