This charming holiday property, is a beautifully refurbished property in Keswick, the jewel in the northern Lake District's crown. It's a wonderful space sleeping up to six people in three well appointed bedrooms with a lovely enclosed garden and outhouse containing a pool table and table tennis. Added to this it welcomes up to two well behaved pooches. The cottage has been thoughtfully designed with a touch of modern flair throughout making the most of the stunning views of the surrounding fells including mighty Skiddaw, England's fourth highest mountain, which stands guard over the town. The accommodation is flexible for families with a ground floor en-suite double bedroom, a bunk room and a stunning first floor suite making the most of those glorious views and providing a luxurious haven for a lucky couple.

Keswick is well known as the Lake District's adventure capital with every possible outdoor activity catered for on its stunning fells, lakes and rivers. Bring your outdoor gear and explore the wealth of walking on offer, from gentle lakeside strolls to challenging walks on the higher fells. If cycling is your passion you could scarcely be better catered for in this area with a multitude of bridleways and a mountain forest park to challenge you. For the ardent road cyclists the area's mountain passes are a must.

If you'd rather make the most of the gentler side of the town then It is only a short stroll into the bustling and vibrant centre with its art deco cinema, beautiful theatre and wealth of cafes, pubs, restaurants and shops. An even shorter potter will see you in Fitz Park beside the River Greta with its arboretum, excellent playpark, BMX track and award winning museum. Keswick’s situation on glorious Derwentwater makes it a haven for those who love messing about in boats. Why not pack a picnic, hire a rowing boat and find a secluded beach to enjoy the staggering views? Alternatively hop on one of the stately launches and take in your picturesque surroundings from there. However you choose to spend your time in this Lakeland gem you'll find the property perfectly placed.

Overall we had a good stay, cottage is clean and great location. Plenty of crockery/glasses etc. although some could do with replacing. The garden needs a good tidy - lots of weeds. The bunk bedroom smelt musty - we didn't use it thankfully as there were 4 adults staying. The 'parking' next to the cottage is unuseable - you might get your car in buRead moret you won't be able to get out. You do get a space in the car park next door but this was a problem for us as we had 2 cars. Hide

Wren cottage is well located as a base to explore Keswick and beyond. The cottage is really comfortably furnished and exceptionally clean and the pool table is a big plus for wetter days.

Such a cosy and modern cottage, so close to the centre of keswick whilst still being nice and quiet in the evenings. Pool room was great, downstairs shower was one of the best Ive ever used! Thanks for a great stay, we would definitely stay again should we return to keswick!

Ideal location - opposite the river and the park, a few minutes walk into the restaurants and shops when needed and a lovely place to start the walk up Lanrigg. Warm, cosy and everything you need at the cottage.

Excellent location - a park 1 min walk across the road. 5 min walk to the town, and 10-15 min walk down to the lake. Lovely walks straight from the cottage. Cottage very comfortable, and well equipped (great having a pool table), and a real bonus to have the parking space next door in the car park. We had a wonderful holiday in Wren Cottage. The onRead morely thing we missed was a welcome pack of any sort, and a guest book with any tips or recommendations. But we would definitely stay there again. Hide

The cottage was situated in an ideal position for all amenities. Car parking was good .The house was well maintained and had plenty of utensils etc in the kitchen. The garden was real good to sit out and have a bite to eat and got the sunshine into the evening. The pool and table tennis were a bonus.Over all we would definitely return to this houseRead more as it was good value for money. Hide

Totally disappointed with many aspects too numerous to mention.. but for guests expecting to play snooker for instance there were only 3 snooker balls available which could be a disappointment for families with kids.. Sorry but would definitely not recommend this particular cottage to stay at

Lovely cottage, master suite was amazing. Good comfy beds in all rooms. Enclosed garden ideal for dogs. Kitchen well equipped. Very close to town centre and the park across the road. Would highly recommend and we are thinking of booking later in the year with family. Additional car parking space next door is a bonus.
