About this property

Mona House - a pet-free, family/group friendly house in central Keswick

Mona House is a 4 bedroom Victorian terraced house sleeping 8 people in 4 bedrooms with flexible sleeping arrangements. It is a 3 minute level walk from the town centre, 10 minutes from the lake and within a short walk of the play parks, cycle track etc. We have set the house up to be used as we use it - as a base to enjoy The Lakes' outdoors. There is storage space in the house for kit, lots of walking and cycling guides together with things like local weatherproof maps, picnic boxes and flasks etc. We also provide information to help you make decisions on where to go and what to do which saves you valuable time, especially over a weekend. Free wifi. No loud music / partying allowed in the house at any time and sorry no pets.

This is the best house we have stayed in! The quality of everything was first class, plenty of crockery and utensils, easy to use washing machine and dishwasher. It was cosy during a very wet weekend with comfortable beds. Our host Nigel kept us fully informed and was easily contacted.

Golfing and sightseeing visit to theLakes

The property is in excellent conditions and under 5 mins to the town centre. Located in a residential street with good on street parking. The bedrooms were all good size and the owner had left lots of maps and leaflets for activities in the area including walks , cycling, lake activities etc. This was an ideal base and Keswick is a great town with lots of restaurants/bar meals to suit all budgets. For groups or 2 families this would make an ideal base.

Wonderful property in the heart of Keswick, clean, comfortable and very well equipped

We loved our stay at Mona House. The property was large and really well equipped for our two families, totalling 9 people. The beds were super comfortable and the bathrooms were lovely. Everywhere was very clean and tidy. The property is also well located, very near to the centre of Keswick with all its charming shops and facilities. Thanks so much, we are already planning our return.

Great location, quality property

This is an excellent house situated very centrally in Keswick. It is fully equipped with everything you could need, has great WiFi and was immaculately clean. Keswick itself has lots of interesting shops, cafes and restaurants and is surrounded by lots of walking opportunities. Nigel was a great host and very helpful throughout the booking process.

Great accommodation, top location, excellent host

Mona House is spacious, clean and modern and had everything we needed. Stayed here with my wife, 7-month-old son & my parents and we all loved it. Was great to have a high-chair and a travel cot (really easy to assemble) already there for us. Nigel contacted us on the evening of our arrival to check we had all we needed and again before we left to check all was ok (which it was). The house is very conveniently situated for walking into Keswick & for hikes in the surrounding area - we only used our car once during our stay. Would definitely stay here again!

Home from home in Keswick

We were hoping that Mona house would give us a clean, cozy, well-situated base for a family break to Keswick and this was exactly what we experienced. Communication with Nigel was excellent throughout, the accomodation was really good value, beds were comfy, nice and quiet but 2 mins walk from town, well equipped, easily roomy enough for 6 adults. Everyone in our party was really happy with the accomodation and we would happily stay here again or recommend to friends.

Great Cumbrian property, well equipped and in a fantastic location.

We stayed at Mona House over a long Autumnal weekend, a group of 6, there for the excellent fell walking around Keswick. The property is typically Cumbrian with plenty of character, clean, comfortable and well equipped, plenty of space for drying kit and boots overnight. It’s in a great location, just 2 to 3 minutes walk to the town centre. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay at Mona House again.

Great house for families

My kids were thrilled to find boxes of toys and games in the cupboard. The house is close to town, and convenient for walks to Latrigg, Catbells, and Skiddaw. The kitchen is well equipped. Beds and lounge are comfy. Love the map in the dining room. Really happy with our stay there.

Mona House was perfect.

Three generations of my family had a long weekend at Mona House to celebrate my 50th birthday. What can I say about Mona House other than a perfect house in a superb location, an absolute credit to the owners. Communication and attention to detail was excellent.

About the host

Hosted by Nigel Ezard

Host profile image
I live in Yorkshire with my wife and 2 young children. I have spent the last 15 years primarily caring for the children and Mona House is the result of one of my several 'projects' which have helped keep me sane during that time! Keswick is a place I have known since childhood - first as a camping destination, later for its mountain biking and fell walking and now as a great place for family adventures.

Why they chose this property

The house came to our attention primarily because it's sale kept falling though. When we bought it in 2009 it had rising damp, a leaking roof and many other problems which needed attention - which meant we could afford something we'd never dared dream of. Undeterred by the work we bought it and employed a local builder to drag it back to life...and I myself spent many evenings camped out on the building site floor. For us, the main attraction of Keswick is that it's a place where we can access all we'd want to do without having to travel more than 15 minutes in a car (if at all). In the immediate area there's walking, cycling, boating/watersports, a climbing wall, play park, cinema, theatre, swimming pool, shopping, eating and of course endless rounds of crazy golf!
