We stayed here last year and booked to come back, and we hope to return next year, too. The property is less than a leisurely 10 minute walk from the town centre, in a pleasant and very quiet cul-de-sac, and we prefer this to the town centre properties we've stayed in before, which have had a less open aspect.

Lovely bungalow in a very quiet part of the town with good views of the fells. It's about a 10 to 15 walk from the town centre through the very pleasant Fitz Park. If you want to walk Skiddaw or Latrigg the start of the path is only a couple of minutes straight from the door. The cottage is well equipped and comfortable and situated on a small estate off the main roads so no passing traffic (or many people) so it's very peaceful. There's an enclosed garden at the back and a large conservatory. All in all an excellent holiday cottage that I can heartily recommend.

Simple but beautifully maintained back garden.
All parts of the bungalow are immaculately cleane.
Large conservatory provides opportunity for good views all around.
Sofas and easy chairs, both in the sitting room and conservatory, are comfortable but low slang and can be difficult to use by the elderly or people with some mobility problems.

Blencathra is a nice bungalow situated on a quiet estate to the north east edge of Keswick. Close enough to venture into town and with good views out of the back and front of the many surrounding hills. Only gripe was that there was nowhere to hang your coat after coming in from a damp walk, we ended up using the back of the kitchen chairs. Other than that an excellent and comfortable property.

Thank you so much for your 5-star review of Blencathra! We are so happy you found this to be in an ideal location for your party. Thank you for your comments about a coat hanger for your damp coats, we will pass this onto to the owner. We are so happy you found it comfortable and excellent with being in a quiet location but also close enough to stroll into town. We hope you had a wonderful time and we hope to welcome you back again! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

A very nice bungalow located to the rear of Fitz Park. Very peaceful, other than the ‘magpies’. Clean and comfortable and well maintained. Really loved the conservatory, in fact we only in the lounge on one evening. Had all of the facilities that we needed. Lovely peaceful lawn at the rear, plenty of rabbits to watch and even a tawny owl on the chimney next door. We’d return but bring our own pillows, as they weren’t very comfortable. Thank you to the owners for a well maintained property.

We loved our stay here, yhe property was very comfortable, the garden was stunning and lovely garden furniture to sit out in the sun. Wild rabbits regularly came into the garden along with a woodpecker. If we come back to Keswick we would definitely stay back here. The cul de sac was really quiet and only a 10 min walk into town.

Thank you so much for your 5-star review of Blencathra! We are so happy you found it very comfortable and enjoyed sitting outside enjoying the sun in the back garden.

We are so pleased you loved your stay here and we hope to welcome you back in the future! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Blencathra is in the perfect location. Within easy walking distance from Keswick yet very quiet and with great views of the mountains.
The bungalow was very clean, warm and comfortable with excellent facilities. The conservatory is a real bonus even in Winter.
The only slight criticism I would have is that one or two hooks would have been useful and better labelling of the keys, but that’s very minor and would definitely not prevent us from booking again.

A clean and welcoming house in a quiet cul-de-sac. It has a particularly nice conservatory with fell-top views, and a decent sized garden, but as we stayed here in the winter we (sadly) weren't able to make use of this. It's slightly further out from the town centre than properties we've stayed at before (about a 7-10 minute walk), but this has some advantages, too. We'll definitely look to book this property again the next time we stay in Keswick.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Blencartha. Would say that for 2 adults it was fine but 4 adults might find it a bit of a squeeze especially eating in the kitchen. The location was very good with The Pheasant Pub within easy walking distance and the food served was good with large portions. The conservatory was a big plus. Yes, we would stay again.

Blencathra is a home from home. Everything is provided, even when it rains most of the week! Superb location. Close to fells and town with main roads not too far off.
Comfortable beds, which is essential after a day on the fells.
We haven't found anywhere better.

Blencathra is a lovely, comfortable,well-equipped base for a break in beautiful Keswick. There are almost 360 degree views of the surrounding fells, with several good walks on the doorstep (Latrigg, Keswick to Threlkeld trail to name but two).
The bungalow is spotlessly clean and is equipped to a high standard with everything you need to make it a home from home. The brand new bathroom is excellent. Having never really stayed at Blencathra in the warmer months we haven’t had as much use of the lovely conservatory as we would like, but it is a very pleasant and welcome addition. Marion, the owner, is a lovely lady who is keen to make sure her guests are comfortable.
The gardens are very large and well kept, look out for the wildlife - several species of birds including pheasants, woodpeckers and siskins, lots of rabbits, and once we even saw a red squirrel!
Keswick Cottages are a fantastic local business who really know how to look after their customers. We would not hesitate to recommend them - nothing is too much trouble, and they are very helpful and extremely friendly! We have stayed in several Keswick Cottages properties, every one of them excellent but Blencathra is definitely our favourite and we hope to return as soon as we can.

A nicely presented property with great views (although almost anywhere in Keswick has great views). Well fitted out with everything we needed. Would have been ‘cosy’ if our two adult children had visited but fine for a family with school age children. We’ll be back to Keswick next year.

This was our second stay at Blencathra. The property is small but very comfortable and well-equipped. Perfectly situated for a walk up Latrigg and an easy 10 minute stroll into Keswick town centre. It's situated in a quiet cul-de-sac with friendly neighbours. There are also numerous rabbits! We would definitely recommend and hope to book again in the future.

Blencathra is a lovely property , ideal for exploring the Lakes . Hence this was the second time we have stayed there and hopefully we will be back again .
Blencathra was very clean and tidy and well equipped. It has the addition of a really nice conservatory leading onto the well maintained garden with lovely views of the hills beyond
There are two easy walks into Keswick so it is very close to the centre but in a quiet location .
Thoroughly recommended

A lovely property within a short walk into keswick centre but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. Personally the bed was not as comfortable as our own but you can't cater for everyone. We often enjoyed sitting in the conservatory and seeing the fabulous views. There are some friendly pheasants who come into the garden from time to time. The shower was strong and a fab temperature. A short walk to the pheasant pub, Latrigg and other fells. The kitchen has everything you could need. A hairdryer is also provided in the bedroom.
To make the property even better some coat hooks in the small cupboard or a coat stand would be useful.

A great house, with amazing views and the conservatory is a great place to spend a sunny or a rainy day. We really enjoyed the location - close to all the shops and amenities in Keswick as well as easy access to hills (Latrigg and Skiddaw)
