About this property

Blue Sky Cottage Keswick

Gloriously faithful to the decade of disco, there is nothing understated about this retro-styled two-bedroomed cottage! The home has been fully refurbished to an exceptional standard, and although facilities are brand new, the cottage is packed with 1970s themed décor, accessories and furnishings.

The bespoke kitchen dining room, with fabulous Catbells feature wall and underfloor heating, is the perfect place to gather with family/friends and recount the days adventures while you cook and dine.The kitchen comes complete with spacious round dining table, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, oven, hob, microwave, and plenty of cupboard/counter space.

There is a lovely sun room overlooking the patio, and ground floor WC.

The living room has two vibrant sofas, electric feature fire and smart TV. The shelving unit houses a selection of books to choose from while you enjoy some relaxation time.

Moving upstairs, to the back of the cottage is the twin bedroom with brand new ensuite shower room. The master bedroom is at the front of the cottage and comes complete with king-size bed, window bench, plenty of storage and a smart TV. Both bedrooms will be made up with luxury white bed linen and fresh towels for your arrival.

Head up the stairs to the second floor and younger visitors will love the little hideaway that awaits, complete with seating, beanbags, games and smart TV.

Many central properties lack parking and outdoor space, but Blue Sky Cottage marries both these valuable facilities with the convenient central location only a stones throw from the vibrant independent shops, cafes, pubs, and restaurants. To the rear of the cottage is a pretty enclosed patio area, a sun-trap for most of the day, with seating so you can enjoy a peaceful breakfast on sunny morning or a glass of wine after a day of exploring.

Guests can enjoy complimentary WiFi.

Excellent cottage and great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this cottage and would highly recommend it to families or 2 couples. Well stocked, clean and comfortable with well thought out furnishings. Good kitchen for cooking and the extension at the back was great for walking gear and loved the underfloor heating! Very helpful and friendly staff too.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 April 2026
Hi, Clare! Thank you so much for your lovely review; the owner and the rest of the KC team are really going to love reading this. Blue Sky is a super quirky property, which is ideal if you don't want the same holiday experience as anyone else! A favourite feature of mine is the open-plan kitchen-dining. Especially when travelling as a group, it's great to have such a big space to cook in, as it helps to stop things from feeling crowded. So... will we be welcoming you back soon? Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

We love Blue Sky Cottage

Such a lovely cottage, well equipped, really close to the town and park with it's own private parking space too. It's our third time staying here and we love it!
Response from VrboOwner on 4 October 2025
Hi Andrea, Thank you for your review. Blue Sky Cottage with it's quirky, retro theme is the perfect home from home. It's close to the town centre but still quiet. When the weather allows it, the outdoor seating area is the perfect place to relax with a glass of wine after a day of adventures. We hope that we can welcome you back for a fourth stay soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Fabulous

Blue Sky cottage was fantastic, great location, bonus of a parking space, secure garden and very spacious for our party of 4 adults and a baby. The location cannot be beaten really and the cottage had everything that was needed to eat in too. The service form the Keswick Cottages staff was brilliant, very helpful all the way from start to finish.

Hi, Judith! All reviews make us smile, but this is just something else! What a lovely review to find in our inbox first thing this morning. We take a lot of pride in our properties, and a lot of love and care goes into making guest experiences at Blue Sky memorable for all the right reasons. This feedback will be shared with everyone in our small, local team, and we'll even pass it on to the property owner. Our only question is... when's visit two? Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Gem of a holiday property in Keswick

We really enjoyed our stay in Keswick recently at Blue Sky Cottage. Very comfortable and cosy. Location of the property was ideal. Being on a side street it was not too busy or noisy. Bonus having a parking space too. Very well equipped, a real home from home.
Response from VrboOwner on 16 December 2025
Hi, Janet! Blue Sky is a lovely, quirky cottage in a convenient location. Parking is very convenient, but not necessary with so much to do, see, and eat right on your doorstep! Our favourite features are the coffee machine, attic hideaway, and Smart TV! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Lovely place to stay

We had a lovely week in Blue Sky Cottage, plenty of space for a family of 4 and lots of nice touches in the decor. It's in a perfect location, close to the shops and park (and ice-cream!) and very convenient with off street parking. The owners have done a great job refurbishing the property, the kitchen extension was a nice sun trap whilst we were there and we ate outside most nights. The bedrooms are a good size and 2 bathrooms was an added bonus. Hopefully we will return in the not too distant future!
Response from VrboOwner on 28 August 2025
Hi Peter. Thank you for your review. Blue Sky Cottage is situate on a quiet street while still being very close o the town centre, which means you get the best of both worlds. Having the off street parking is certainly an added bonus. The property has being refurbished to a high standard and the garden out the back is the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine after a day of exploring the area. We hope we can welcome you back again soon! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

A very comfortable stay

This is one of a few cottages that actually looks like the photos. Very tastefully furnished. Nice space to sit in the kitchen extension. Good location for walking into town and the bus station. Could be noisy at times
Response from VrboOwner on 3 July 2025
Hi Sue, Thank you for your review of Blue Sky Cottage. It is a very tastefully furnished cottage and handily close to the town centre for when you want to go exploring. The outside space is perfect for having a glass of wine after a day of seeing what Keswick and the surrounding area has to offer. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

What's not to like!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blue Sky cottage. It has been tastefully decorated and furnished to a high standard with all that is needed for a relaxing stay in the Lakes, even down to all the maps you could ever need. We also enjoyed the outside space which was surprisingly quiet and a real suntrap. There is also the added bonus of a private parking space which is at a premium in this locality.
Response from VrboOwner on 29 July 2025
Hi Robert, Thank you for your review of Blue Sky Cottage. The cottage is conveniently close to the town centre with an added bonus of a parking space to the rear of the property. The outside seating area is perfect for relaxing in with a glass of wine or locally brewed ale after a day of exploring the area. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Cosy cottage

Cosy, clean, stylish, well equipped and great location. We found the twin bed mattresses very firm and uncomfortable.

Spacious, comfortable, modern and funky cottage in the heart of Keswick

Wow, we loved the 70’s styling in the lounge and kitchen areas. Sofa’s in the lounge looked amazing and were very comfortable. Kitchen dining area was of good size and fitted with all modern facilities including dishwasher and washing machine. King size bed in the main bedroom was great and the blinds and curtains ensured the room was pitch black overnight. Overall we felt at home in Blue Sky Cottage and would definitely recommend if you want funky accommodation with modern facilities, we’ve already booked for 2026.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 September 2025
Hi Peter, Thank you for your review. Blue Sky Cottage is perfectly located just outside of the town centre, so close to all the amenities but on a quiet street. The cottage also benefits from a dedicated parking place and a lovely garden to the rear where you can relax with a glass of wine after a day of exploring the town or a day on the fells. We're looking forward to welcoming you back next year! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Excellent property and location

We have been visiting Keswick for over forty years and have used numerous holiday lets over this period. Blue Skies like all Keswick Cottages is first class. A very warm and comfortable accommodation ideal for a party of four with all facilities to cater for this number. A downstairs toilet is a bonus as is on site parking. Keswick is very busy but has many facilities to cover all tastes and on site parking is wonderful being so near to the town centre and to the start of many excellent picturesque walks whether they be long or just short strolls. We can highly recommend this property give it a try you will not be disappointed. Happy holidays.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 November 2025
Hello, Mr & Mrs Kerrison! We're so happy that you enjoyed your stay! Blue Sky is a uniquely-decorated property, and has such charm. The property is perfect for entertaining-- a party of four is perfect for making full use of the kitchen-dining space, and, in better weather, the back garden and sun room. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Perfect holiday cottage in Keswick

We have stayed in Keswick many times and we were delighted to be able to book this newly renovated cottage. It certainly has the Wow factor with its stylish design, also private good sized parking which is always a bonus. The cottage is very well equipped and has a pretty outside area which meant we could eat outside when the weather was good. It is also within a couple of minutes walk from the high street with its ample pubs, restaurants and shops so after a days walking in the fells you can just wander out for a meal. We will definitely be returning.

A short stay

Nice and cosy. We were never cold, it was always warm and welcoming. Standards were good right throughout. Even the parking was better than I thought it would be. If I had to nag, there could have been a Bluetooth speaker available but, perhaps, it is meant for peace and quiet. We stayed for 2 nights so I didn't bother with the WiFi. I just used my mobile data. Lovely stay.

Sky Blue Holiday!

We booked Blue Sky cottage very last minute. We had a brilliant week here in glorious sunshine and were very comfortable. The cottage is very well equipped for those who wish to cater fully for themselves and being a new to the market property everything was pristine. We made full use of the outside terrace. The parking space was great to have but rather challenging when leaving the cottage as we have a wide long vehicle. The gate moved if one of us didn't hold it and the necessary post may not be in the perfect position to delineate the parking space. Luckily we did not need the car much and it was always light when entering or exiting. Brilliant to have the maps available and I enjoyed reading one of the book selection. Instructions were clear from the owner and appreciated. The second floor space was a bonus and again comfortable. A minor point, the kitchen floor was quite sticky , maybe too much cleaning product, but definitely gleaming clean. Thank you for making our stay so pleasant.
Response from VrboOwner on 15 July 2024
Thank you so much for your 5-star review of Blue Sky Cottage! We are so happy you had a very comfortable and brilliant week, we're equally pleased you found it well equipped for your self catering holiday. Thank you for your comments about the gate for the parking. We hope to welcome you back again! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages
