A lovely cosy cottage not far from the centre of Keswick. Recently refurbished and the colour scheme changed to green. It has been updated without losing the cosy nature of the cottage. Has everything you need for a wonderful stay. Keswick Cottages staff are very helpful, professional and friendly and we wouldn't stay anywhere else in the Lake District. 10 out of 10 as always. Already booked again for 2025.

Having a parking spot on the drive is invaluable in the busy Keswick residential area and helped with quick hops in and out of the car if it was raining with the kids. The kitchen is very good, clean and well equipped. Super to have a dishwasher and good washer-dryer. Lounge nice and comfortable, good smart TV. Beds comfortable and bathroom a good size for kids bathtime. Would stay again.

The property is access by vehicle down a narrow lane. Reverse parking into the bay outside the property is advised this will make entry into and exit from the bay easier. The ground floor was accessed via the kitchen and very nice it is. It is also the eating area. Upstairs the bath was a lovely after a days walking. The bed was most comfortable also. We had a lovely stay and would stay here again.

The house is very warm and welcoming with everything you need at hand in the kitchen modern appliances, it’s very clean, modern interiors and decor, beautiful bathroom you don’t feel like you’re staying in a holiday rental it feels like home we can’t wait to book up again for next year. This year was made extra magical as we were there for the Keswick Christmas Lights Switch On so it was like a proper Traditional Christmas like my childhood.

There was everything that you could possibly need. and it was very stylish and comfortable. t was great to have a large number of dishes and cutlery so that we could fill the dishwasher and not run out of utensils. The bed is very comfortable . There were also considerations for our dog which were very welcome. It's a short walk into town and there is a lovely park almost opposite. I loved that there was a basket of knitting squares which I added some kitting and crochet to. Altogether a great place to stay. stay. ##### Lynn H. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good May 12, 2025 #### Lovely cottage in a great area We were very pleased with Birchgate. A lovely cottage, tastefully furnished. Bed was very comfortable, and there was everything we needed in the kitchen. Shower was pretty powerful. Nice quiet area easily within walking distance of Keswick but tucked away. We felt very at home there. Couple small points - it is a very tight turn into the row of cottages and even tighter to get on the drive so worth noting if you have a larger vehicle. Could do with some more instructions especially for bin day as we had no idea you had to take bins to end of the road so missed the collection as we were out all day. Think the fridge may be in its way out as even on the coldest setting it wasn’t particularly cold. All in all a very good place to stay and I think we would go back. ### 6/10 Okay #### Karl H. Nov 11, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### In need of an update! Great location.. just a 10 min walk from the centre. Property in need of updating and modernisation. Massive draft from the rear door. (I Bet it’s freezing in the winter!!) A water leak from the boiler on the first night which was fixed on day 3\. ( I know this is just unfortunate and bad timing but it looked like it had been leaking for sometime)..Parking for 1 vehicle ##### Karl H. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good Sep 18, 2023 #### 2nd time at Birchgate Second time at Birchgate. Is very near to town centre and the lovely Fitz park so ideal location and there is a parking slot outside which is a bonus in Keswick. The kitchen is large and has all the necessary equipment although a small freezer box wouldn’t be amiss. The cottage is cosy although could do with a little tlc. The bathroom is a good size but could do with a little cosmetic attention, also the water won’t stay in sink and the water pressure for shower is poor and changes from hot to cold, The double bed is uncomfortable but that may be personal preference. Like I said this was a return visit but mainly due to location. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good Nov 25, 2025 #### Our third time at Birchwood We really like this cottage, it is dog friendly and has a real fire. We have stayed three times already so it feels like a second home. We love Keswick and the people there. We will book again next year.
