Lovely stay at Tithe cottage.

The cottage is very comfortable and has every facility for a great short break in Keswick. Very well equipped and spotlessly clean. The drying area in the shower bathroom came in handy for the wet weather. 2 minutes from main street with both supermarkets within 100yards. Will definitely visit again. As previously stated by others the car parking space is small but right outside the door.

We booked a last minute short break to Tithe Cottage. It’s a lovely little place in the perfect location to explore all that Keswick has to offer. Well-equipped and comfortable, we had a lovely stay. Parking is very tight and it was a bit tricky to find in the dark as the courtyard isn’t lit but otherwise all good
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Feb 2026

Location was excellent, the cottage was small but adequate for two persons. There was an issue with the heating but it was dealt with quickly.
Response from VrboOwner on 26 Jan 2026
Hi, Moira! Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. Tithe Cottage is designed as a compact, characterful bolthole for two, so it’s reassuring to know it suited your stay and that the central location worked well for you. I’m really glad our team were able to resolve the heating issue promptly. As an independent, family?run agency, we take it personally when something isn’t quite right, and we always aim to put things back on track as quickly as possible so guests can relax and enjoy their break. We appreciate your balanced feedback and hope we’ll have the chance to welcome you back to Keswick again. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

A Perfect Home-from-Home – Every Time

This was my fifth or sixth stay at Tithe Cottage, and it continues to be absolutely perfect every time. The cottage is always spotless, warm, and beautifully maintained – a real home-from-home in the heart of Keswick. The peaceful location, just a short walk from the town centre, with easy access to walks, shops, and restaurants. Whether I’m heading out for a hike or just relaxing, Tithe Cottage has everything we need. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into making sure guests feel welcome and comfortable. I’m already looking forward to my next visit

Lovely stay

We very much enjoyed our stay at Tithe cottage, it was in an excellent location with all amenities handy in the centre of Keswick. The cottage itself is perfect for a couple, the owners have thought of everything to make you feel welcome and at home, we had an excellent sleep in the bed probably one of the best sleeps I’ve had in a long time, we would highly recommend the cottage and and area and hope to return soon.

Tithe Cottage, Always a Wonderful Return, always an absolute pleasure.

Another absolutely wonderful week spent at Tithe Cottage over the New Year period. We have stayed here so many times now that we’ve genuinely lost count, and it continues to impress us on every single visit. From the moment you arrive, the cottage feels warm, cozy, and incredibly welcoming — a true home away from home. Tithe Cottage is exceptionally well equipped with everything you could possibly need, whether you’re staying for a short break or a longer, more leisurely visit. The bed is supremely comfortable, guaranteeing a perfect night’s sleep, and the added bonus of the spa pass is a fantastic extra for anyone looking to relax and unwind. Having parking directly outside the door is also a real advantage and makes the stay completely effortless. Thank you so much for yet another outstanding stay. We absolutely love returning to Tithe Cottage and will most definitely be back again very soon. Highly recommended.

Attractive, warm and comfortable

It rained for the whole week we were in Keswick but we had a fabulous time in the beautiful countryside and with the Tithe Cottage as our base. It is perfectly located for public transport, the supermarket and all the attractions of Keswick. It is attractive, warm, comfortable and had everything we needed. I highly recommend it.
Response from VrboOwner on 24 June 2025
Thank you so much for your review and recommendation of Tithe Cottage! We are so glad that despite the rain you had a fabulous time, we bet seeing all the ferns and nature enjoying the rain because we had quite a dry patch earlier this month so it was needed! Being located in central Keswick, means you can enjoy the town's amenities and you're conveniently located near the bus station. We love that it had everything you needed and we hope to welcome you again! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Small but perfectly formed would sum up this cottage. Very comfortable with every convenience provided. The cottage is in the centre of Keswick opposite the Co-Op and has a parking space which is very useful. We would definitely stay again and would recommend.

A great cottage for 2 people

This was our second stay at Tithe Cottage. It's ideal for two people & our two small dogs. The location & the allocated parking space are excellent. The cottage is comfortable and pleasantly decorated. Pasta bowls would have been handy, otherwise the kitchen was well equipped with a range of glasses & equipment.
Response from VrboOwner on 17 June 2024
Thank you so much for your review of Tithe Cottage, we love that this was your second stay! We think it is the cosiest cottage for two people or a solo traveller. Being pet-friendly too means the whole family can come along! We are so glad you found it comfortable to stay in and enjoyed the décor. Did you know there are complimentary passes to Underscar Spa? Why not indulge on a little self pampering after exploring. Thank you for your comments about the pasta bowls, it is always useful when guests provide feedback, We hope you had another wonderful time at Tithe Cottage and we hope to welcome you back in the future!

Centrally located well loved property

A bijou cottage right in the centre of town but wonderfully quiet. Equipment is ample for 2 and despite being compact has all you need. The welcome pack is a brilliant added bonus. Office replies very quickly and efficiently to any enquiries. We would wholly recommend staying here. Only a fiesta sized car can get into parking slot if neighbours car is present as there is very tight turning.

Central Location a Plus

Tithe Cottage was a comfortable cottage for the single traveller, as rooms were small, but definitely adequate. The kitchen contained all I required. The bed was comfortable, as was the sitting room furniture. The small tablet contained the information necessary to operate the equipment within the cottage, eg washing machine and hot water unit. The only real criticism is that the allocated parking space is really too small for anything but the smallest car. The location is excellent; a short walk to Keswick’s central district, with a variety of restaurants/pubs/cafes available and the Co-Op over the road for shopping.

Great little cottage in the heart of Keswick

We had a wonderful 3 night stay at Tithe Cottage. Yes the property is small, but it's cosy and provided all the comforts we needed. The location is perfect, only a 2-3 minute walk to the main square. With a CoOp over the road opposite, you don't need to use the car at all if you're not intending to venture out of Keswick. Only word of caution (which we had read about) is the parking spaces. The space directly outside the front door is really only big enough for the smallest of cars. There is an overflow car park behind which is bigger, but access under the arch is very tight. All in all though, we had a brilliant weekend with lots of hiking, pub visits and chatting with friendly strangers. See you again soon!

Review

Thank you for a lovely stay at Tithe cottage. A lovely bonus was having complimentary access to the Spa at Underscar. The location was amazing - just a minutes walk into town, and right next door to a supermarket. Its hard to think of negatives, but outside there is a high up drainage pipe coming from the Supermarket which gushes rainwater out onto the floor when it rains, and is quite loud as when it rains it rains! And the pipe doesnt have direct ground drainage so hits the paving slabs. Also there was a broken gate at the back and side of the property, which banged in the wind. The small court yard area in front of the cottage would look nice with some green / flowers and a sweep. But this is all feed back on the outside of the property. Inside we cannot find fault. The cottage was well equipped. We also liked the connection to community with the food bank donation suggestion for any left over items. Thank you again for a lovely stay.

Thank you so much for your review of Tithe Cottage! We agree that the location is perfect as you're in central Keswick but tucked away from the busy streets. We're so happy you found it well equipped, we think its one of our most cosy cottages! Thank you so much for commenting about our work with our local food bank, it saves food and more from going to waste and gives back to the community. The complimentary access to the spa at Underscar is a delightful bonus of Tithe Cottage and makes it that bit more special. Thank you for your comments about the outside of the cottage, we will pass these onto the owners. We hope you had a wonderful time here and made use of access to the spa at Underscar and enjoyed exploring all that Keswick has to offer! We hope to welcome you again! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Late March stay for 1 week

Fantastic little cottage in a great location in Keswick with all the shops and restaurants on your doorstep. I have stayed here before so had no problem locating the property, the cottage was clean and generally in good condition with almost everything you could need for your stay. As others have mentioned the parking here is very tight and even though I only had a VW Golf the person staying in the holiday let next door decided to bring a full size Range Rover Velar which meant it was impossible to get the car out whilst all the parking spaces were occupied, not really an issue for me but if you do intend touring around during the day certainly something to be aware of.

Hi, Stephen! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a detailed and helpful review. We’re really pleased to hear you enjoyed another stay at Tithe Cottage — it’s always a compliment to welcome returning guests, especially somewhere as central and convenient as this little cottage. It’s great to know the location worked perfectly for you again, with shops and restaurants right on the doorstep, and that you found the cottage clean and well equipped for your stay. Having almost everything you could need close at hand is exactly what we aim for. Thank you as well for your honest comments about the parking. You’re absolutely right — the space is quite tight, and it can become tricky when neighbouring guests arrive with larger vehicles. We really appreciate you flagging this so considerately for future guests, especially those planning to be out and about during the day. We’re delighted that overall you enjoyed your stay and felt at home in Tithe Cottage once again. We’d be very happy to welcome you back on a future visit to Keswick. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Wonderful stay

We had a wonderful stay at Tithe Cottage. The location, cost, and amenities were all perfect. The spa voucher was an additional brilliant bonus. I would definitely stay again. My only critique is that the cottage is in dire need of a deep clean, especially the bedroom. I pulled the bedside table forward so it was more accessible in the night, and it was thick of dust behind it. The cottage is small so a deep clean would not take long.
Response from VrboOwner on 12 Dec 2024
Thank you for your review and for your helpful feedback. We are really glad that you enjoyed your stay and made the most of the complimentary spa passes, what a great way to spend time on a cold Winters day in the Lake District. We will flag up the issue of the dust with the housekeeping team so that this can be sorted if it hasn't been already, we frequently deep clean the properties so are very sorry that you found this in this state. We'd love to host you again and are happy to answer any questions that you have upon booking, and can reassure you that if you notice any issues during your stay, we are on hand to help at any time. We hope you have a Merry Christmas and New Year and look forward to hosting you again. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

January get-away.

Third stay here. Love the location with town centre and food shops on the doorstep. Really nice to have access to Oxley's spa after a day on the hills. Car parking very convenient - need to use overflow space if car is bigger than VW Golf.

Cosy accommodation with great location

Really enjoyed my stay for Christmas 2022. Nice thoughtful touches on arrival, complimentary gift and fizz appreciated but even better was the effort on decorations which made it feel like a home from home. Excellent communication regarding the stay and friendly and helpful team on hand for queries. Cottage is small but very well laid out and has very good facilities. Exactly as photos and description. The washer-dryer was a useful additional feature and a godsend after muddy lakeland hikes. Location was perfect. Central with the main town supermarket and bus station 1 minute's walk away and the town centre just 2 minutes walk. Perfect if like me you don't have a car. If I were to nitpick...a dog bed would have been useful and better lighting is needed in the bathroom especially in the shower area. Overall, an excellent place and would not only recommend but am planning to stay again.

Compact cottage perfect for a couple and dog. Perfect location. Parking space is too small for an estate car, however there is an additional parking space through the archway into a much larger parking area.

Perfect town location

Tucked behind the Main Street but not on the road (so very quiet) it’s a great bolthole for one couple, dog friendly, secure. Parking is tight but free which is a bonus and the spa is nice - and also free and about 5mins away
