This cottage was a great find. It's really spacious, well equipped for longer stays, and very close to the town centre. We particularly loved the woodburner on chilly evenings!

We have stayed in Keswick on a number of occasions, this was by far the most homely and comfortable stay. The kitchen located on the first floor is more than adequate and having the washing machine meant we hardly took any laundry home. 5 the plosh is ideally located on the edge of the town and lake is only a five minute walk. We are already looking to book again.

Wonderful location for Keswick and a great view! Spiral staircase up to the bedrooms caused a few issues (husband hit his head twice) but overall great stay.
Obvious signs of damp/mould in upper bathroom and back bedroom but didn't cause us any problems.
Bed really comfortable but suite in lounge not so much.
Kitchen well equipped and very clean.

This is our second time staying in this cottage. The location is perfect - right beside the town but private and not noisy. The cottage is warm and cosy with a spacious kitchen and balcony with views of the mountains. We had a lovely stay here. Highly recommended.

We had a fantastic stay at 5 The Plosh. A minute away from the town centre so really convenient for eating out.
The house and furniture are very contemporary with a well equipped kitchen for the times we stayed in.
The only thing that would have improved our stay would have been logs for the woodburner - they are not included and we didn’t know where to buy them. it was snowy during our stay and a fire at the end of the day would have been welcome.
Definitely recommend this house.
