Perfect base for lakes adventures.

Second time using acorn cottage, Its a perfect location for access to the town, and the lake. Many walks can just be started from the doorstep. Cottage is again clean and perfectly equipped with everything you need for your stay. Highly recommended.

A good week at Acorn Cottage

We had a very good week staying in Acorn Cottage the property was very clean and the beds comfortable. The cottage is well equipped we didn’t really want for anything. Our dogs even had their own welcome pack of treats and a chewy rope. Our only criticism is that the settees were quite low, so all in all we were very happy.

Very Comfortable Cottage in an Excellent location in Keswick

My family and I plus the dog stayed in Acorn Cottage for a week. The Cottage is in an excellend location within a 5 minute walk into Keswick Town centre. The cottage was clean and very spacious, large living room and dining room and large bedrooms. The welcome packages left were good and very thoughful as there was a separate one for the dog. I have recommeded this to family and friends and I would certainly return. Thank you

Great cottage

Lovely cottage in central Keswick, east to get to the lake and the town centre. Spacious lounge and dining area with good sized bedrooms. The top floor only really suitable for children due to head height.

Fantastic Property & Stay in Keswick

We visit Keswick regular and this was the first time we have booked through Keswick cottages and the experience was fantastic. We particularly liked the easy booking system and the digital guide with everything we needed to know for our entire stay at the lovely Acorn Cottage. The cottage itself was fantastic, doggy friendly and had everything we could have needed for our long weekend stay. It was clean, spacious, super light and airy which made it a nice place to chill between walks and beers. The cottage was well furnished and cosy. We’d definitely stay again. Thank you.

Another trip with Keswick cottages

Had a good week at Keswick once again a different cottage, Acorn cottage was in an ideal area within 5 mins from Keswick centre and parking was fine. The two single beds on the second floor were ideal for children because of low ceilings, you need to take kitchen roll, toilet roll as only two rolls provided for the week we always take extra including dish washer tablets and washing up liquid. The cottage was clean and comfortable the back yard could do with a good hose down. We were out every day with our two small dogs and had some amazing food the Pheasant for the best fish Pie and the Pocket for lovely Pizza

Perfect location, cosy and accommodating.

The cottage is a great size with everything you need for a perfect stay. The beds are super comfortable, kitchen has everything you would need and customer service is great. Location is perfect as it’s so close to Keswick centre and when we couldn’t go on walks because of the rain staying in was just as enjoyable.

Great place

Acorn Cottage is a great place and has had a face lift since we last stayed which has made a real difference. My only small issue is the rear garden space could do with a makeover too

Nice cottage, great location

Pleasant stay, great location close to everything. Property is clean and comfy, stayed before and would definitely stay again. Only issue is with the gate at the side to the rear doesn't close properly and dogs can get out onto the road.

Great place to stay and ideal location

Thoroughly enjoyed our one week stay in Acorn Cottage which is in a great location - a short walk to the town centre, bus station and to Derwent Water. The downstairs was very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. The beds were also very comfortable but the 2 bedrooms in the attic do have very limited headroom and so are best suited for older children maybe. I would definitelly go back and would recommend

Lovely cottage, great location.

Lovely cottage, great location. One or two things needing attention such as the kettle didn't work, neither did the tin opener. Also the heating controller was flashing some sort of error so we couldn't get that on. Really enjoyed our stay though and we'd go back.

Peace on the edge of town

A wonderful cottage for up to six people and two dogs with free parking and a very short walk to the town, the market, churches and the Convention. It was a bit of a military operation for so many people with just one shower/ bath, but there were two toilets. The stairs were a bit steep for some. The staff at Keswick Cottages were close by and excellent, patiently listening and responding quickly to our requests and suggestions

Half term break

Good size cottage, ideal for two small families.plenty of space for everyone. Nice little welcome pack to start us off. Location ideal for walking into Keswick. Could do with more up to date central heating instructions - we were sweating during the night & couldn’t figure out how to turn it off!
