Loved and revisited by many time and time again, beautiful Keswick is a must-visit location for visitors of all ages. Featuring plenty of fascinating days out including the Derwent Pencil Museum (0.5 miles), Puzzling Place and Keswick Museum (both less than 0.5 miles), this town boasts much to see and do close to home. It’s also well equipped with quirky businesses, quality eateries and even an independent theatre (0.5 miles) offering plenty of entertainment. The expansive Derwentwater is just 0.5 miles for boat trips, water sports and waterfront walks, whilst the town also offers a handful of adventure centres to take you on guided Lakeland expeditions including rock climbing, abseiling and paddleboarding.

This light and airy property boasts a calming neural décor, the ideal surroundings for a truly relaxing break. Step inside to discover a bright entrance hall which gives way to an open-plan living/dining room. This generous space is the hub of the house, with dual-aspect windows flooding the area with light. Enjoy meals to one side of the room and spend your nights unwinding in the other. The lounge features two cushy sofas and a TV, perfect for a cosy evening in. Towards the back of the property is a contemporary kitchen and utility room. The kitchen features an electric Range-style oven, hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and a dishwasher too. The utility room is a great space to store boots and coats with a washing machine and tumble dryer for your use. Completing the ground floor is a handy WC. Head up to the first floor to find three equally inviting bedrooms. The king-size has a stylish antique bed, dressing table and TV. Then there’s a generous double bedroom with TV and cosy single with TV. A spacious family bathroom completes this floor with WC, shower and bath. Continue onto the second floor to find the final bedroom with far-reaching fell views and a TV. This is a twin room and sits alongside a final bathroom with WC and shower.

Despite its central location this property does benefit from a small patio to the rear. Complete with garden furniture to offer al fresco dining, this spot is perfect for evening meals or your morning coffee in the sunshine. Finally, there is allocated parking for one vehicle in the carpark opposite the cottage, which also has electric charging points.

This is an exceptional holiday home with everything you could possibly need .A lot of thought and attention to detail has been paid to ensure guests have a very comfortable stay. The beds were all very comfortable,a great shower and a very well equipped kitchen . Everything very clean and to a high standard . It felt very much like a home from homeRead more and the children loved the games . Lots of nice touches with personal messages from David and a welcome bottle of wine and chocolates. The location was excellent as so near to Fitz Park which the children loved and the town centre . Having a dedicated parking space with electric charging was great as we noticed lots of people driving round looking for car parking spaces. We loved our holiday in beautiful Keswick and would definately recommend this holiday home and would choose to stay again . Hide

This is our second stay in this property within the last six months. Excellent communication direct from the owner as well as Holiday Cottages. Very well equipped and comfortable house. The only issue for, as we were friends sharing the house, was that both the bathroom doors did not lock and require adjustment.

The pre arrival information and communication from the owner David is great. The house is excellent in good order and a home from home feeling as you arrive. A great deal of thought has gone into this property with many smart devices in place to add to the experience of your stay. We can highly recommend this property.(and we have rented a few in aRead morend around Keswick in the past).Parking is not an issue but if required you have use of the car park space nearby. 5-10 min walk into the centre.

Green Gables is a perfect holiday home for us. We have stayed here many times and will continue to do so. It is extremely comfortable and well equipped. Close to town but no problem parking due to the useful parking permit. We tend to park the car and leave it as the bus service is so good.

I think we've used all the superlatives to describe Greengables over the many years we keep coming. The place is kept in immaculate condition but we can't comment on the new TV using fire stick in each bedroom as we never have the time between walks! We'll be back.

Beautifully maintained and outfitted home. Every time we walked in the door we felt at home. Did not want to leave. David could not have been a more attentive host. He arranged parking for our car and checked in during the week to see how we were doing and if we needed anything. If I could rate a 10 on a 5 point scale, I would.

The location was ideal and within easy walking distance of the town, great having your own designated parking space to return to when we did use the car.
