We thoroughly enjoyed our one-week stay at The Cobbles. The cottage is situated in a very quiet little street, however extremely close to the town centre.

Small but finely formed & a great location for access to the centre of Keswick. Finding a parking space not insurmountable & with the good weather where better to be amidst the Fells & facilities on offer.

We had a very good stay at The Cobbles. As previous guests have remarked the cottage really is much smaller than the pictures suggest including a very small and narrow kitchen. This was fine for us and the location ist just perfect: In a very quiet side street but only 2 minutes from plenty of pubs and cafes. We also really liked the gas fire stoveRead more in the comfy living room. Hide

This cottage is very small. Do not under- estimate this!! The location is ideal, but this location is a choice compromise/tradeoff against a more comfortable cottage and a garden with parking.
