About this property

Farmer's Retreat - sleeps 4 guests in 3 bedrooms

As you enter the property you are greeted by a bright, modern entranceway with herringbone flooring which continues throughout the ground floor of the property. To the end of the hallway is the downstairs WC.

Off the hallway is the large open plan living space with living room, kitchen and dining room. The living space to the front of the property has two comfortable and stylish sofas, a Samsung frame smart TV, and an electric fireplace. You will have everything you need for a movie night or get cosy under the blankets and plan the next day's adventures with the maps provided.

To the back of the property is the kitchen/ dining space. The new stylish kitchen has everything you need to chef up a storm with a fridge/ freezer, oven, dishwasher, microwave and integrated bin. The dining room table can sit 6 comfortably. The space has the added benefit of skylights which let in some beautiful light over dining room and additional sitting space; enjoy the comfy chairs and views over the garden with a cup of tea and a good book.

Patio doors lead out into your private patio garden, which is a sun trap on a sunny Lakeland day. The ideal place to enjoy an alfresco drink or meal on the outdoor furniture. The gateway at the end of the garden leads to the back of the property and there is a pathway taking you along the River Greta.

Upstairs there are three bedrooms and the family bathroom. To the front of the property is the single bedroom with storage, desk, and views to the woodland and fells. The double bedroom is also found at the front of the property and has been decorated in calming neutrals. The bedroom to the back has super king zip and link beds which can be made into two singles on request. All bedrooms will be made up with luxury bed linen and fluffy white towels. Upstairs you will also find the shower room, with WC, wash basin and large shower.

Guests can also enjoy complimentary use of the Wi-Fi at the property.

There is no allocated parking for the property, but the estate has multiple spaces used for residents and visitors.

Keswick has so much to offer visitors, as a bustling market town enjoy plenty of shopping, cafes and pubs. With a wide range of restaurants, it will be difficult to choose! 15 Brundleholme Gardens is also in a fantastic position for those who want to get out in the fells and tick off a few Wainwrights, with Latrigg and Skiddaw accessible from your doorstep! The Keswick to Thelkeld Railway Walk can be seen from the property, this is a 5K walk to Threlkeld which is easily accessible for pushchairs and wheelchair users.

Farmers Retreat

Another lovely property from Keswick Cottages. Farmers Retreat is comfortable, clean and in a perfect location. Only a short walk through the lovely Fitz park and you are in the centre of Keswick. No need to drive in and pay for parking. Well equipped and beautifully furnished it was a pleasure to stay in this lovely house. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great so we didn't get chance to sit in the garden - maybe next time

Hi there! Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed another stay with us at Farmer’s Retreat and found it comfortable, clean, and in such a perfect location. The walk through Fitz Park into the centre really is a highlight, and it’s great to know you were able to make the most of that and avoid the need to drive. We’re also really pleased you appreciated how well equipped and beautifully furnished the house is — it’s always wonderful to hear it felt such a pleasure to stay in. It’s a shame the weather didn’t quite cooperate this time, but hopefully that just gives you the perfect excuse to return and enjoy the garden properly next time! We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Farmers Retreat

Booked with Keswick Cottages via telephone two weeks prior to a four night visit. Both Caysie and Sarah were most helpful and informative making my booking easy. Farmers Retreat is ideally located in Keswick and just a pleasant short walk through Fitz park to the town. The property is comfortable, well equipped and maintained with everything you need. Parking being a bonus. Most enjoyable stay and would revisit again.

Hi, Lynn! It was such a pleasure meeting you in person — and of course the wonderful Margaret, who completely won us over. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a kind review. It truly made our day. I’m so glad we could get everything sorted easily for your stay when you called. It was lovely chatting with you, and Sarah and I were both delighted to help with the booking. Farmers Retreat is in such a fantastic spot, and it’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed that stroll through Fitz Park into town. It’s one of those walks that always feels peaceful, no matter the weather. We’re also really happy that the property had everything you needed and felt comfortable and well cared for — and yes, the parking is definitely a bit of a gem in Keswick! Most importantly, we’re thrilled you had such an enjoyable visit and that you’d happily come back again. We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you again. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great little house close to river and Fitz park

A last minute booking but the house was perfect! Done up to a high standard with high quality fittings. Don’t be put off by the photo of the exterior of the house. Fab location just 10 mins walk into Keswick along river through Fitz park. Keswick cottages staff were super-attentive too.

Beautiful cottage in a lovely location

Farmers Retreat was one of the nicest holiday cottages we have been in for a very long time. We visit Keswick frequently. It was clean, comfortable with beautiful decor and comfortable furniture and beds. We loved its location on the edge of Fitz Park so the easy walk into town was made more special by walking through a pristine park. The children enjoyed their evening swims in the river Greta. It was idyllic. The cottage could do with a bit more storage space in the bedrooms and towel rails in the bathroom. We particularly appreciated the cloakroom downstairs. Being a 3 generation family with younger children the second toilet was very welcome. The only downside we experienced was a couple of nights where neighbours were particularly noisy with banging doors. We would definitely stay there again.

Hi Caroline, Thank you for your review. Farmer's Retreat is in a great location, close to Fitz Park where you can take a walk along the river, play a game of tennis or watch the local cricket team play. You may be lucky enough to catch a local singer performing in Cafe HNW. The cottage has been refurbished to a high standard and the outside space is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine after a day of adventures and exploring the town which is only a short walk away. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
