About this property

Wordsworth House - a house that sleeps 8 guests in 4 bedrooms

Traditional stone Lakeland cottage on the outside, contemporary spacious home on the inside! From the first step inside the front door, this welcoming retreat for eight is sure to make a great first impression, and have you feeling right at home. You'll find storage and hooks in the hallway ready and waiting for your coats and boots.

On your left is the spacious living room; light, bright and inviting, this really is a wonderful space to gather with friends and family to recount the days adventures, and plan the next! Curl up and make yourself comfortable on the two three-seater sofas or the tartan easy chair with footstool, ideally positioned around the warming cosy log burner. There's a wall-mounted Smart TV to enjoy your favourite programmes and a selection of games/books for entertainment.

The modern kitchen-diner, with island and bar stools, is well-equipped and sure to make meal preparation and cooking a pleasure.

The four comfortable bedrooms are nicely furnished, with plenty of storage, and quality mattresses for a good nights sleep. There are two double bedrooms with en-suite facilities and TVs and two twin rooms, one of which boasts a TV, and these are serviced by a sleek family bathroom. Each bedroom will be dressed in luxury crisp white bed linen and towels ready for your arrival.

Outside there is a patio area with seating and a parking space for one car, a real bonus so close to the centre of Keswick, and there's plenty of on-street parking nearby for guests travelling in more than one car.

We had an great stay in Wordsworth House, fantastic location and everything provided you could need

The house is in a great location, out the way of the hustle and bustle but only about an 8 minute walk into the center of Keswick. The Lakes through everything at us weather wise but the house was a warm and inviting place to come back too. It is very well equipped with everything you need and generally got parked right outside. Overall we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend.

Great location and spacious property.

This is a great property in a very good location but there are a couple of negatives; yard needed to be jet washed, beds not all that comfortable, toilet flush in two bathrooms very poor but still enjoyed our stay.

Convenient, Comfortable and Central Accommodation

Wordsworth House in Keswick is a prime location. Easy to find on the drive into Keswick and less than 10 minutes walk to the town centre (with pram). Spacious living spaces, good size rooms, plenty of washrooms, and washer/dryer meant right fit with ample room.

Amazing stay in beautiful property

Excellent communication & service from Keswick Cottages from start to finish. The house is lovely (much nicer in our opinion than the pictures) house is very clean, comfy beds, excellent water pressure on showers & the house is so well equipped with everything you might need during your stay. Only a five minute walk to Keswick centre where there are a multitude of pub/restaurants & shops. Fantastic stay, fantastic weather in a lovely part of the UK

A lovely house, well situated for town and local amenities. Drive access limited but plenty of on street parking. Would benefit from outside table and chairs as picnic bench seen better days. Limited welcome pack. Would recommend house to others.

Great place to stay

Lovely place for a large group. Very comfortable beds. The twin bedded room is a bit tight for space between the beds. Ok for youngsters. Good bathroom/showers Very large kitchen and dining area. So spacious it can be echoey. We didn’t use the parking space so there’s room for children to play outside or to sit out in the sun. Overall, this a very nice place to stay and just a short walk to the park and to the centre of Keswick. Would definitely choose it again.

Lovely house with plenty of room

The house was very spacious and had plenty of room for 6 and a dog. The kitchen was very well stocked, there were enough towels and the cleaning pack/welcome pack was fine. The WiFi provided was good. The parking g space was quite tight for our Seat Atteca so we parked on the street. This was fine each day as there were plenty of on street spaces outside property. The heating worked well, the property was very warm. The beds were comfy. The place was clean but I noticed a few areas that are obviously not cleaned regularly, such as the radiator in upstairs bathroom and the decorative cushions on bed had (dog ?) hair all over them. The shower tray panel in top ensuite is loose and coming away. The bedroom above kitchen could do with a mirror. The whole house is decorated nicely and has everything you need. Keswick Cottages communicated regularly and the information was clear. One thing I found off putting was that they were contacting me early on Thursday to go over our leaving instructions. I feel this is too early, our holiday was still on the go and they were already saying bye! This email should be sent later the night before...it was a short holiday, I didn't need reminding that it was over the next day. On the whole I would definitely stay here again.

One of the best houses we’ve stayed in in Keswick

Great stay in a lovely house. Very clean and well equipped. Beds are comfortable and fitted with quality sheets, although are only doubles and singles. The singles have boards at the end so are not ideal for adults. The lounge is lovely with windows to three aspects. We had an issue with the en-suite shower trays not draining which we informed Keswick Cottages about on the first day of our stay. These were apparently fixed quickly however the company neglected to tell us and so we continued to use the shower over the bath which is very slippy. When we eventually used the showers they were extremely powerful. The towels provided were lovely and fluffy but the only place we found to dry them was the airing cupboard (limited space available). The towel rails like the rest of the central heating refused to turn on. On wet days, drying things could be an issue for larger parties. There was no photo of the outside space when we booked. This has recently had a new fence and gate erected which meant that the dog was secure. The picnic bench has seen better days and this area lets the quality of the house down somewhat. We did manoeuvre our VW golf into the parking spot on the first day, but it wasn’t easy and certainly wouldn’t fit a larger car. Parking though was no problem (even in August) we were always able to find a spot on the road nearby. We had a lovely stay at Wordsworth House, our dog absolutely loved meeting new friends and running around in Fitz Park (2 minutes away) and would recommend the house to others.

Great stay in Keswick

We had a fantastic week at this lovely house in Keswick. It was the perfect size for two families and our two dogs — plenty of space for everyone to relax and feel comfortable. The property was clean on arrival and really well equipped. The location couldn’t have been better — just a short walk into town and right near the park, which was perfect for walking the dogs. The parking space was a bit tight but we never had any issues with on-street parking, always lots available right outside the property. Communication from Keswick Cottages was excellent from start to finish, and the thoughtful dog welcome treats were such a lovely touch! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
