In the heart of Keswick, this property offers an instant home from home in this much-loved national park. Enjoy close proximity to fells and lakes, along with independent shops and tourist attractions.

Step outside and find Keswick’s many wonders just moments away. Lovers of history will appreciate visiting the nearby Keswick Museum (0.5 miles), whilst younger visitors will no doubt relish a trip to the Derwent Pencil Museum and Puzzling Place (both 0.5 miles). Plenty of shops and cafes will fill your days in this charming market town, whilst an evening at the Theatre by the Lake boasts culture and views of Derwentwater (1 mile). For fell walking further afield, the nearby peaks of Skiddaw (5 miles), Helvellyn (8.5 miles) and Grisedale Park (5 miles) will satisfy both novice and expert walkers in your party.

On arrival, venture inside to find yourself in the open-plan living/dining room. This room is filled with light thanks to high ceilings, freshly painted walls and a beautiful bay window, whilst also decorated with a contemporary interior that’s continued throughout the property. Sink into super-comfy sofas to enjoy the TV or throw a log or two on the wood burner on cold evenings. A modern fitted kitchen sits at the rear of the property, fully equipped with an electric oven, hob, fridge/freezer, microwave, dishwasher and washer/dryer. Head up to the first floor to appreciate two bedrooms and a family bathroom. The bright bathroom has a WC, bath and shower, whilst the bedrooms are made up of a twin and double, please note that although the twin is perfectly adequate for 2 adults it is rather small and therefore ideal for teenagers or children. Finally, a third bedroom lies waiting on the second floor. Its elevated position offers views of the park and this double bedroom has an en-suite shower room with WC.

A unique addition to this property is its private balcony. Boasting immediate views to the River Greta and Fitz Park, this charming spot offers a great space for al fresco drinks or nibbles. Please note, children should be supervised on the private balcony at all times.

  • 3 bedrooms – 2 doubles, 1 twin (although the twin room is adequate for 2 adults it is small and therefore better suited for teenagers/children)

Had a really lovely stay in Keswick ... a really lovely house in a great location. So lovely to have a Christmas tree set up and a bottle of wine waiting for us ... so nice! The house was very comfortable, warm and cosy. The beds were amazingly comfortable and the showers really great. A thoroughly enjoyable Christmas week at Riverside Cottage.

This was the best cottage we've ever stayed in as far as location was concerned.... it was so peaceful waking up to the river and looking over the park every day, yet it is right next to everything you need in Keswick. We couldn't have asked for a more lovely place for our holiday! Thank you

This is a lovely house in a fantastic central location. We didnt drive anywhere all week. The park across the river has lots of things to do including putting, tennis and bowls. Lots of pubs and cafes nearby but it still feels peaceful and we enjoyed sitting on the balcony watching the river.

Good value for money for a half term week. Great location with parking in Keswick centre- although parking was a little tight for our A6 - but once parked we didn't use the car all week. The house was very clean and big enough for a family of 4, but you'd struggle to get 6 adults comfortably on the sofas. My only gripes are that the kitchen has litRead moretle cupboard space for food and the dishwasher door annoyingly hit the oven every time it was opened. Hide
