Lovely cottage. Clean, well maintained and comfortable. Ideally situated in a quiet area of Keswick. The parking space is a welcome bonus. Nice to see some pheasants and rabbits hopping about the garden. This was our first stay and we plan to return.

Hi, Julie! Thank you for your review, it sounds like you've had a brilliant stay! You, and your pup. Quaver Cottage is a delightful property on the banks of the River Greta, ideally situated for those who want to be close to the town centre, yet still somewhere quiet. We'd love to see a picture of your pooch in Keswick, or the cottage! Please feel free to tag us on Facebook (Keswick Cottages) or Instagram (@keswickcottages). We hope to see you all again soon!

Highly Recommended

Great cottage - well equipped, comfortable and conveniently located, with its own off street parking spot. The cottage is located close to Keswick town centre and only a couple of minutes walk from Booths Supermarket but it's well off the main streets and by the river do it's really quiet and peaceful. The USP is that the owners encourage you to put out bird food (provided) and if you do you'll be rewarded with visits from all kinds of birds - including some pretty tame pheasants who aren't adverse to trapping on the patio doors to remind you to feed them! There are also rabbits that visit regularly. The cottage itself is very comfortable and well equipped, clean and maintained to a high standard. Keswick Cottages are great to deal with. They have a very good web site and provide you with plenty of information about the cottage and local attractions and amenities. All in all highly recommended.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your fantastic and detailed review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the cottage comfortable, well equipped, and maintained to such a high standard. It’s wonderful to know the location worked so perfectly for you too. Being just a short walk from Keswick town centre and Booths, whilst tucked away in a peaceful riverside setting, really does offer the best of both worlds. We absolutely loved reading about the wildlife visitors! The birds, rabbits, and of course the resident pheasants certainly have plenty of character, and we're so pleased you were able to enjoy them. It's one of those unique touches that makes the cottage extra special and memorable for so many guests. [Emoji Removed] Thank you as well for your kind words about Keswick Cottages. As a small, local, family-run business, we take great pride in making the booking process as easy as possible and providing plenty of information to help guests make the most of their stay, so it's lovely to know that was appreciated. Thank you again for your recommendation. We’re delighted you had such an enjoyable stay and would be absolutely thrilled to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
