Pet friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 9 - Keswick, Cumbria

Stroll into the heart of Keswick and wander the plethora of pubs and independent shops as you lap up the bustling atmosphere. Puzzling Place, the Pencil Museum and the local cinema all sit within a mile from your door and provide you with plenty of places to enjoy on a rainy day. Hop on a cruise of Derwentwater and get on and off as you please or travel 6 miles to Skiddaw where you can reward your climb with a peak-top picnic full of goodies.

If you fancy a night out, indulge in a tasty meal before visiting the Theatre by the Lake (1 mile) for a family-friendly treat. Sleeping nine guests across four bedrooms and welcoming two dogs, the whole family can enjoy this home. Climb a couple of steps to enter the house and wander down the hallway to find yourself in the spacious, open-plan lounge/diner.

A great spot to spend time in before and after adventures to put on a film and grab some treats. With a trio of sofas, find somewhere to get comfortable whilst your four-legged friends relax at your feet. Before plating up at the dining table, make your way into the kitchen where you’ll find all you need to see you through from breakfast to dinner, including an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, American-style fridge/freezer and dishwasher.

If a few of you want to gather with a cuppa, head up a couple of steps to the breakfast table where you can sit and pour over the paper or a map in the mornings. Beyond this area, find handy appliances in the utility room which has a WC. After long days and lively nights, enjoy a quiet night’s sleep in one of four bedrooms.

The master bedroom boasts a king-size bed, fell views and a TV, whilst you can also find the twin bedroom and family bathroom with shower over the bath on the first floor. On the second floor which has further fell views, a king-size family room with additional single bed and a cosy double bedroom await. There is also a handy shower room.

When nights are warm and balmy, there is an enclosed, rear courtyard. There is roadside parking, though you can unload bags in the access lane to the rear of the property.
