Great place
Great place to stay. Very clean and spacious. Bike shed is a bonus and parking near by.
On the main road but frosted front window so still feels private.
Response from VrboOwner on 26 Apr 2025
Thank you for your 5* review of Coleridge Cottage, we are happy to hear you had a lovely stay! Coleridge, despite being on the main road offers a peaceful retreat for it's guests, and is a stones throw from all Keswick's attractions and amenities. We hope you managed to enjoy some of the local bike trails too! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Wonderful few days away in a perfect location.
Wonderful few days away in Coleridge Cottage.
Location was perfect with parking just a short walk away. I didn’t use the car once while here. An abundance of walks right from the doorstep.
Although the property is on a main road into Keswick it was so quiet and peaceful.
Just a five minute stroll into town centre.
Everything about the property was excellent except that with one shower and toilet upstairs and one toilet downstairs, it might have been a bit difficult with a family or group staying there.
Communication with Keswick Cottages was excellent. All information given before and after stay made it very easy.
I couldn’t get TV to work (followed instructions) but didn’t contact anyone as I decided to enjoy the peace and quiet!
Overall a fantastic stay in a great location.

Hi, Alison!
Thank you so much for your lovely and thoughtful review — it really made us smile. We’re delighted you had a wonderful few days at Coleridge Cottage. It’s such a great spot for exploring, and we completely agree that having so many walks right from the doorstep (and being able to forget about the car!) is one of the big perks of staying there.
We’re really glad the cottage felt peaceful despite being on the main road, and that the short stroll into town worked perfectly for you. It’s also lovely to hear that everything in the property was excellent overall. You’re absolutely right that the bathroom layout is best suited to couples or small groups, and your feedback is very helpful for future guests.
And thank you for your kind words about our communication — we do try to make everything easy and stress?free from start to finish, so it means a lot to hear that it helped.
As for the TV, we’re so sorry it didn’t play ball for you. If that ever happens again, please do give us a ring — even if you decide to embrace the peace and quiet in the end! We’re always more than happy to help, and we could’ve had someone pop over to sort it in no time.
Most importantly, we’re thrilled you had a fantastic stay in such a lovely location. We’d be delighted to welcome you back whenever you’re next in Keswick.
Best wishes,
Keswick Cottages

Coleridge cottage
We had a lovely stay. Perfect location. Great size. Nice and homely. Beds comfy. Kitchen Well equipped. We had doggy welcome packs and an essentials kit. Milk coffee etc. very useful arriving late. Close parking and bonus car park across the way.
Downsides…. The shower didn’t drain great and the overall cleanliness could have been better. For us a grassed area would have been handy for fussy dogs but we just went over the road. None of the minuses would stop us from re booking.
Keswick cottages communication was great. Emails easy to understand and replied to quickly. Over all a nice week spent with family in the place we love. Thank you

Coleridge Cottage.
A lovely cottage in a handy location close to the town centre. Parking 300 yards away so difficult to unload and load up as double yellow lines outside. Internally very nice and a lot bigger than it looks from the outside. All in all highly recommended but be aware of the parking issue.
Response from VrboOwner on 16 Sept 2025
Hi Steve,
Thank you for your review. Coleridge Cottage is in a great location, very close to the town centre and all of the shops and restaurants. The cottage itself is the perfect home from home and the log burner in the lounge makes it extra cosy. We hope the parking situation didn't affect your holiday too much and you still had a fantastic time.

Perfect location
2nd stay in this lovely house. The location on the very edge of town is perfect for a diverse group , everyone can go out of the front door and do whatever they want then meet up later for a meal at the massive dining table. Great to get a parking permit as we hardly used the car.

Needs a clean
Location is ideal but cleanliness is not to the standard we are used to when booking with Keswick cottages. Cobwebs in living area , dust on sofas and tables. Walls could do with painting too. None of these are huge issues just annoyances as was the fact we had to buy batteries for the central heating thermostat to maintain the heating and hot water. Fortunately one of our party is a heating engineer so knew how to fix the problem. Reasonably well equipped and it wouldn’t take much to have changed this review to a 5 star one.
