About this property

Glen Cottage - sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

Entering the cottage from the porch, the spacious open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner provides a charming sociable living space for unwinding after a day of adventures. There are two comfortable leather sofas to curl up on in front of the cosy log-burning stove while you enjoy your favourite series on the Smart TV or a good book.

The brand new kitchen overlooks the pretty garden and comes fully equipped with fridge, induction hob, oven, microwave and dishwasher. On warmer days why not open up the french doors for an al fresco drink and nibble - or even just a serene moment observing the comings and goings of the resident birds and wildlife. At the back of the garage there is a useful utility space with washing machine and tumble dryer.

Moving upstairs there are two beautiful bedrooms. The master bedroom is at the front of the cottage with king size bed, double windows and plenty of storage space, and the twin bedroom is to the back of the cottage. Both bedrooms have quality beds and mattresses, made up with crisp white bed linen and towels. The bathroom has a mirror with lighting, WC hand wash basin and beautiful bath with shower over, ideal for reinvigorating tired muscles,

There is an electric vehicle charging point next to the private allocated covered car parking space (please note the charging point is shared with Spa Cottage next door)

Guests can enjoy complimentary WiFi

There is an abundance of choice when it comes to walking routes, or why not bring your bike with you to see even more of this beautiful area with pedal power. There is a lockable shed at the back of the garden for storage.

It would be easy to park up and enjoy a jam-packed car-free holiday. Braithwaite amenities include three lovely pubs serving food and local ales, village shop and a tea room. Theres nearby Whinlatter Forest along with a huge selection of walks and outdoor activities to choose from, a nearby bus stop with routes taking you all over the Lake District, and Keswick town centre only minutes away.

This was a truly lovely place to stay with a helpful owner. The location was great located within walking distance of several hiking trailheads, the village shop, and several restaurants. It was comfortable, well-maintained, and thoughtfully designed.

Our second stay at Glen Cottage. Great location for exploring north western lake district. Really useful to have a parking space, superb walks accessible from the cottage, set in a lovely village with 3 pubs and 2 cafes within walking distance too. Cottage has been extremely well refurbished and a super place to stay in any season. Log burner nice to have in winter but took some lighting and the use of firelighters might have helped with this.
Response from VrboOwner on 6 February 2026
Hi, Ian! Thank you for such a lovely review. It’s wonderful to hear that your second stay at Glen Cottage was just as enjoyable as the first. The location really is perfect for exploring the north?western Lakes, and having those fantastic walks right from the door — plus the bonus of pubs and cafés nearby — makes it a great base in any season. We’re delighted you found the refurbishment to such a high standard too. Your note about the log burner is really helpful. We'll pass this on! We’re so pleased you had another great stay, and we’d be thrilled to welcome you back again. Let's go for a hat-trick! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Perfect cottage for us, the dog & a week of adventure

Loved our stay at Glen Cottage. Lovely welcome pack for us and the dog. The cottage was very cosy & had everything we needed. Great little garden too & just across the road from the village shop and pubs. Perfect!
Response from VrboOwner on 2 October 2025
Hi Emily, Thank you for your review. Glen Cottage in Braithwaite is very handy for the village shop and the 2 pubs close by serve great food and real ales from the local area. There are plenty of walks right from the doorstep including Barrow and Grisedale Pike or just a walk in to Keswick where there are lots of quirky shops, most of which are dog friendly. We hope you and your pooch had a great time! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Excellent refurbishment, well appointed and good location with parking for one car. Great house in a quiet part of the Lakes with good access to the hills on foot so no need to drive. Two good pubs in the village and a good village shop with the bare essentials and lots of treats.

Hi Stuart, Thank you for your review. Glen Cottage in Braithwaite is in a great location. The village shop is very handy and with two pubs close by and a café, you are spoiled for choice for food options. There are lots of walks you can do right from the cottage doorstep, including Barrow and Grisedale Pike. There are also plenty of walks and bike trails at Whinlatter Visitor Centre or for the more adventurous, Segways and Go Ape! We hope you had a fantastic stay. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Fabulous cottage stay.

Lovely, well appointed, equipped and cosy cottage in the heart of Braithwaite. Perfectly positioned with easy access to the village shop, two pubs and other restaurants and fell walks from the doorstep. Ideal for a getaway for a couple. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

Great cottage in our favourite village

A lovely cottage, newly renovated, with everything needed for us as a couple and our collie dog (I could see it being a bit of a squeeze for 4 adults though). It’s perfectly located for great walks from the doorstep and for eating out without driving anywhere. My only very minor niggle was the low level lighting and front hall security lights coming on every time you moved in the living room. It was unfortunate we picked a very wet December week, and after many soakings, decided to come home a day early as there are only so many times you can dry off a wet dog. Would not hesitate to come back again though.

Another fabulous stay at Glen Cottage

This was our second holiday in this lovely cottage. It is in a great location with the village shop and tearoom across the road and 2 pubs very close by. The cottage is very well equipped and renovated to a high standard. We were lucky enough to have gorgeous weather and it was lovely to have breakfast in the beautiful garden and relax in it after long walks. We can't wait to return in the future

A stone throw away from Keswick, the cottage’s couldn’t have been better positioned, there are hundreds of miles of walks from the cottage without having to get on the car, it was just perfect for us, our dogs aren’t big car fans.

Autumn Break in Braithwaite at Glen Cottage

Just returned from an amazing week at Glen Cottage in Braithwaite, the perfect place to explore the hills around the Newlands Valley, both low and high level walking, with the benefit of 2 pubs in the village to recoup, and some lovely tea rooms too, if you can't be bothered to cook. The Keswick Cottages staff are really helpful too, whenever we need our Lake District boost, we always come to Keswick, and use this service, we've never had a bad experience.

Fabulous cottage in the lovely village of Braithwaite

We had a wonderful week at Glen Cottage. It is decorated and equipped to a very high standard. We were lucky enough to enjoy fabulous weather so made use of the garden too. There were just to 2 of us staying and we found it the perfect size. I think 4 adults would be a bit of a squeeze as there is little storage space in the second bedroom. It is literally across the road from the village shop and tearoom where we enjoy a lovely breakfast. The welcome pack with tea, coffee and sachets of milk was a lovely touch too. We will definitely return to this beautiful cottage

Beautiful cottage in a lovely village

The cottage has been renovated tastefully. The kitchen had everything you could need. The bathroom is beautiful . The lounge is a bit small for 4 people with a 3-seater couch and a chair .we found it brilliant for 2. The bedrooms are lovely with blackout blinds and curtains in both. The master bedroom has hanging rail and shelving . The is no storage in the twin and nowhere to put anything. The add bonus of the garden on a sunny day is great to relax after a day on the fells. Parking in the garage was fine for us and we have a large vehicle. We will definitely be back..

As close to perfect as we can get!

We had a lovely stay at Glen Cottage, 2 adults and our dog. We have been searching for somewhere to stay that ticks all our boxes and this cottage definitely did. Impeccably clean and tidy, lovely garden which is 100% secure (hard to find!) and plenty of space for us. The location was perfect, Braithwaite is a lovely village, plenty of walks without needing the car. Lovely little village shop & tea rooms a stones throw from the front door, 6 minute drive into Keswick, couple of pubs and a designated parking space, what more could you ask for. The main bedroom was perfect for us, I would say that the second bedroom is small without any storage space so it could be a squeeze for 4 adults but the rest of the house and bathroom had plenty of space. The kitchen was well kitted out with everything we needed and the cleaning and tea welcome packs were a lovely surprise. We had a great experience with Keswick Cottages, easy check in and out, communication and the tablet hub was great addition. I would highly recommend Glen Cottage and Keswick Cottages and we will definitely be heading back next year.

Very comfortable property in a good location.

We had organised a long weekend break including my son with his dog. Fortunately the weather was good which enhanced the visit and contributed to a very enjoyable stay. The property was ideal providing good accommodation in a very central location in the village with good access to the shop and the local hostelries. The property itself was well equipped with all the amenities and was very comfortable. Overall we were pleased with the accommodation. However by way of feedback which we trust will be taken in the right spirit: * one toilet roll per bathroom is inadequate and seems a bit mean minded. * the cleaning materials left are also inadequate and whilst we have no problem with keeping the place clean/tidy but having dogs it would have been easier if more equipment was available. * a stair gate would have been welcome. Having two dogs we had to create a barrier to prevent them from coming upstairs during the night. We would have preferred to pay extra for the accommodation rather than have regular add ons. The above didn’t distract from the holiday.
Response from VrboOwner on 10 May 2025
Thank you very much for your feedback! We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed both the cottage facilities and the location. There are some fantastic local walks, activities and amenities from the doorstep. We do always supply some welcome provisions as standard with the aim to make things easier on guest arrival such as a kitchen pack, refreshment pack and toilet rolls. We did trial enhanced provisions, however we found that not everyone actually needed the items and it became quite wasteful where we try to operate as eco-friendly as possible. So we felt it would be better to keep rental prices lower and then customers could simply book on any items that they actually want and will use during their holiday. We of course hope to welcome you again very soon! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Glen Cottage

a period cottage is set in a beautiful quiet location with good parking. The house is newly decorated with a nice kitchen, bathroom and garden. Unfortunately the beds had thick synthetic winter duvets in the hight of summer, it was 23 degrees in the cottage. I thought the customer service from Keswick cottages in resolving this (which they didn't) was poor. The pillows were also really cheap and uncomfortable and gave me a really stiff neck. We paid a lot of money to stay for a week and I expected better, the idea of a holiday is to go away and relax and feel comfortable, considering you spend a third of your day in bed its important to have this right and the quality should reflect the price we paid we stay. Despite the cottage being decorated nicely it was a shame the art work on the walls and other furniture were so cheap and didn't flow together nicley. Ashame some of the original charm of a period cottage wasn't kept. I thought it was very stingy to only leave 3 dishwasher tablets and 2 toilet rolls and no laundry liquid considering we were a family of 4 staying 7 nights.

Fantastic location

Had a nice stay at Glen Cottage, the location is excellent with many walks direct from the door, parking was a bonus. The enclosed garden was perfect for our 2 dogs and could imagine it being beautiful in Summer. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of cutlery and good quality crockery. There is a small freezer outside which we weren’t expecting, if only we had known in advance! No second settee as mentioned. On the negative side when we arrived the house was not very warm ( air pump heating) the cold snap was predicted, so would have expected the property to be heated accordingly.We were unable to adjust the heating which seemed to be controlled remotely by the owner, we telephoned Keswick Cottages and asked for this to be turned up but in truth the difference over our 4 day stay was minimal and we bought a supply of logs to supplement the heating. As a party of 3 adults we found the sleeping arrangements cramped , impossible for 2 people to be in the double room at the same time apart from sleeping. No storage at all , we never unpacked. The duvets as we discovered when we stripped the beds to leave were 4:5 tog, I would have expected Winter weight ones given the time of year and the predicted bitter weather. We love Braithwaite and have had many holidays in the area, we would possibly return to Glen Cottage but as a couple and not a family and at a warmer time of year.
