About this property

Elm Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

As you enter the cottage, the hallway is light and well decorated and leads to the good sized kitchen and lounge. The lounge has a window and French doors overlooking the garden area (table and chairs are provided) making this a very light room. There are two leather settees, oak dining table & four chairs, TV, and CD player and plenty of lamps.

The kitchen is again a good light room and has plenty cupboard and worktop space. There is a fridge/freezer, gas cooker, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave etc.

Upstairs there are two pretty bedrooms, one large twin room and a smaller double room. The twin room is very spacious and has two single beds (which can be made up as a super-king for an additional charge), wardrobe, drawers, and bed-side cabinets. The double room is cosy and has a double bed, wardrobe, drawers and coordinating bed linen and curtains.

The newly fitted bathroom has bath with shower over, w.c. and wash hand basin again a very light room.

The apartment is conveniently situated a stones throw from Booth's supermarket (which has an electric car charging point) and the E-Venture shop for easy bike hire.

Being only about 15 yards away from Quaver Cottage may prove ideal for two families wishing to holiday together but not wanting to be in the same house.

5 day break in keswick

Great Location for a walking base

Elm Cottage had everything we needed in the kitchen. One bedside lamp was not working. Beds were very comfortable. The only downside was that the house is quite dark inside during the day. Next door to a very good supermarket. Parking was a definite benefit.
Response from VrboOwner on 8 Sept, 2026
Thank you for your review, Eimer. We're delighted to hear that Elm Cottage worked so well as a base for your walking holiday and that you found the beds comfortable, the kitchen well equipped, and the parking such a benefit. Having a supermarket right next door is certainly handy too. We appreciate you bringing the bedside lamp to our attention, as well as sharing your thoughts on the natural light in the cottage. We will definitely pass this information on and do our best to fix it as soon as possible. If you're back in Keswick, we'd recommend the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trail, a beautiful and accessible walk with lovely views along the way. Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience, and we hope to welcome you back to Elm Cottage in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

a great stay

We had a great week at Elm cottage with all we needed. One bedside lamp did not work even with new bulb. A runner inside the front door would make taking shoes off easier
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Aug, 2026
Hi Anne, Thank you so much for your lovely review. We're delighted to hear you had a great week at Elm Cottage and that you found everything you needed for an enjoyable stay. Thank you as well for letting us know about the bedside lamp. We'll get this checked over, as it sounds like the issue is more than just the bulb. We also appreciate your suggestion about having a runner inside the front door. That's a great idea, especially for making it easier to remove shoes on arrival, and we'll be sure to pass this feedback on to the owners. Thanks again for taking the time to share your comments. We hope to welcome you back to Elm Cottage again soon! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great location

Stayed at Elm Cottage a number of times as great location so don’t need to go out in the car as everything on the doorstep and you have a designated parking space. Only comment I would make is there are a number of excellent places to purchase food including the market but would like a bread knife that actually cut bread, and if that is sorted for our next stay next month that would be appreciated. The fact we have already booked again confirms a great place.

A good property that met our requirements

The property was ideal, central to Keswick but was quiet and had parking alongside the property.it was well furnished and equipped.The only downside was the miserly equipment for washing dishes.No adequate dishcloth, washing up liquid or pot brushes.Forget these gimmicky presentation packs and provide what is really required. On the whole a very enjoyable stay and would use it again.

Had an excellent stay at Elm Cottage. A good price, well situated, very clean and well appointed. Handy parking spot right outside, quiet area, very close to the shops / pubs etc. Will definitely stay again.
Response from VrboOwner on 26 Nov, 2025
Hi, Mark! It's so amazing to hear that you've enjoyed your stay at Elm Cottage! The property is ideally situated in Keswick: in a quiet location, with easy access to local amenities and attractions, including Booths and Co-Op supermarkets, and the rest of Keswick town. Elm also has its own private car parking space; these are like gold dust in Keswick! One of our favourite features is the coffee machine. We're sure you enjoyed having a brew from the welcome pack on arrival, especially with all the cold weather we've been having! We hope to see you again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Our third stay at Elm Court and would definitely come back again. Perfect location to explore Keswick and surrounding area. Only suggestion is probably needs a new vacuum cleaner.

Great location

We booked for the location and parking and were very happy with both. Access to Booths, buses and Keswick centre all excellent. The cottage was well equipped throughout and kitchen and bathroom good. The pottery and cutlery required up, (2) to dish was most days. No special cooking facilities eg blender. Had to ask what the coffee maker make was - nothing on line or in the house manual -there isn’t one. It was Tassimo! We had to wait to a while to download (O2 poor as usual) the manual to find the wifi password. We forgot to download the manual. Most we have stayed in have a card 6” x 4” in a pic frame. The on line facility was very good but lacked some fine details. Now the bad bits. The lounge sofas were very poor and well past their use date (esp in this price bracket). We paid for the singles to be put into super king mode (paying was a first). The beds were awful too hard lumpy and prevented a comfortable nights sleep (again not what I expect in this price bracket). These two failures meant it was not comfortable to sit in the cottage or sleep in it, so we left two days early. The bathroom had a smart light up mirror but very little space to store bathroom essentials and was also missing a shaver point. Lastly the tv was a smart tv but so old (2016 model) that it was from the Samsung hates Apple era so no mirroring from my iPhone. Luckily there was working iPlayer and Netflix so bring a FireTV stick! We enjoyed our stay in Keswick - the cafes, shops lake and no worries about parking.

Great stay in Keswick

Booked online at very short notice and received confirmation almost immediately. Keswick Cottages provide comprehensive details of checking in, key safe number, wifi code, recommendations for things to do etc. They are very helpful when contacted by phone with any questions we had. This was our second visit to Elm Cottage and was equally enjoyable; it is clean, spacious, comfortable, well-equipped and very quiet. A reserved car parking space right outside the cottage is an added bonus. We have stayed in several properties in Keswick and this would be always our first choice if available for our next visit. The company provide a friendly and professional service and, as a local agency, are very knowledgeable about their properties. We would certainly recommend both the company and Elm Cottage itself.

Hi, Philip! Your review absolutely made our day. In fact, there may have been a tiny celebratory cheer in the office when we read it. We’re so glad your last?minute booking went smoothly and that all the little details we send out helped. That’s always the goal. Hearing that your second stay at Elm Cottage was just as lovely as the first genuinely warms our hearts. It’s such a special place, and knowing you find it clean, comfy, peaceful and properly equipped makes all the care that goes into it feel worthwhile. And yes, that private parking spot really is the unsung hero of Elm Cottage. Your kind words about our team mean a lot too. We always want guests to feel like they can ring us about anything — from big questions to the 'I hope this isn't a silly question, but...' sort of moments. Being called friendly, professional and knowledgeable is exactly the sort of encouragement that keeps us smiling. And saying Elm Cottage would be your first choice for your next Keswick adventure? That’s a compliment we’ll treasure for a long time. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review and for choosing to stay with us again. We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back for visit number three. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great holiday

A lovely stay at this property in Keswick. It is very close to everything in Keswick but just far enough away to be very quiet. 5 minutes from supermarket, 10 minutes into the town. Elm Cottage has everything you need for a comfortable holiday let and very clean and tidy on arrival. Keswick Cottages staff are always available should you need to contact them, would definitely recommend a stay in this cottage .
