This was our 4th time staying in Fairbank, it’s a great location for us just across the footbridge from Fitz park which means we can exercise our dog easily first thing and be in the town centre within 5 minutes on an evening.
Keswick Cottages are highly recommended to book with.

Stunning location
Ideally located just yards away from the footbridge over the Greta into Fitz Park.
A beautifully decorated cottage, very comfortable and a great place to stay.
Beds very comfortable, and having the sound of the river flowing by is just lovely.

A cosy cottage with in a scenic location.
Millbank is a homely cottage in a peaceful location. It was lovely to hear the cricket match going on in the park and the kids loved being so close to the river and play area.
We would love to return one day.

Third Visit to Fairbank!
We have become creatures of habit, staying at Fairbank for the third year in a row. It has everything we need in terms of being a delightful cottage with all the facilities we need, nicely furnished (plenty of wardrobe space) decorated and excellent heating and hot water which is a must in February. Its located directly opposite Fitz Park and the river so it has a beautiful view from the kitchen and master bedroom. For us its brilliant for taking the dogs out especially for a quick walk first thing in the morning and last thing at night! Fairbank is just a 5 minute walk from Keswick Town, which we love. Lots of shops, great restaurants and friendly pubs. Basically to us Fairbank is the perfect cottage for us. If we could we would live there! I would also like to mention that Keswick Cottages provided us with excellent service. I had to change my booking due to a work commitment after I had made my initial booking. They were very helpful.

Hi Vanessa,
Thank you so much for your wonderful review — it absolutely made our day! [Emoji Removed]
It means the world to us that Fairbank has become your home-from-home, and we’re so happy to welcome you back for a third year. Hearing that the cottage continues to tick every box for you — from the cosy heating and plentiful hot water (a February essential!) to the lovely furnishings and that gorgeous view over Fitz Park — is just fantastic.
We’re delighted the location works so perfectly for you and the dogs too. Those early-morning and late-night walks sound absolutely dreamy with the park and river right outside the door. And being just a few minutes’ stroll from the heart of Keswick really does make everything so easy, doesn’t it? Shops, restaurants, friendly pubs — it all adds to the magic.
Your kind words about our team truly mean a lot. We were more than happy to help with your booking change, and we’re so pleased we could make everything smooth for you.
Thank you again for choosing to stay with us year after year. Knowing that Fairbank feels like the perfect cottage — so perfect that you’d live there if you could! — is the best compliment we could ever hope for.
Best wishes,
Keswick Cottages

Cottage was pretty clean and reasonably well equipped but lacked a little in the comfort stakes. The sofa was small and the cottage needs more comfortable seating.

perfect location
Our second stay in this cottage. nice and clean, plenty of space and a good layout. Decent size front and rear garden for sitting out. perfect location for the park opposite , parking and shopping just around the corner. A nice quiet area away from traffic .
ideal for dog walks straight into the park. The use of the long stay car parks in Keswick is ideal.
Will hopefully be booking again for next year and would recommend to anyone.

Fairbank
A lovely cottage with every thing you need. Love Keswick and the location of this cottage was ideal. Only downside was the parking, not always a space in the nearest car park but we managed to park on the side road. Bath was not the easiest to get in and out of , could do with having a separate shower. Otherwise ideal especially being so close to the park for the dog to walk in and not far from the bus stops.
Response from VrboOwner on 13 Aug 2025
Hi Karen,
Thank you for your review. Fairbank is in a lovely location overlooking Fitz Park. The bridge in to the park is opposite the front door so access for walking your dog is perfect. It is only another short walk in to the town centre where you can find lots of interesting shops and great places to eat, most of which are dog friendly. We hope you had a fantastic stay.

Lovely cottage in great location.
Situated right next to Fitz park ( with access via a bridge) and a 5/10 min stroll to Keswick town centre makes the location ideal nearby car parking is provided. The small front and rear gardens allowed us to make the most of the sunshine whilst there and the accommodation was spot on. A well equipped kitchen and dining area. A good sized lounge downstairs and 2 good sized bedrooms upstairs and spacious bathroom. In the lounge was a cupboard with games,dvds,CDs and books. The whole property is freshly decorated, modern and very comfortable.
