This three-bedroom cottage is situated in the heart of the market town of Keswick. Its nickname comes from its proximity to the Keswick Brewing Company, which backs onto the cottage. The brewery offers tours in which you can discover how beer is made using sheep wool and what makes the beer green! No tour would be complete without sampling the beer in the bar and you can stock the fridge from the brewery shop.
The cottage itself sleeps four people across two double bedrooms on the first floor, plus there is an attic hideaway for up to four older children. The perfect children's getaway, the loft has a large TV available to hook up a gaming system, increasing the chance that parents can be left in peace downstairs! Keswick has been voted as the most dog-friendly town in Britain and well-behaved dogs are always welcome at the cottage.
Just 2 minutes' walk into the centre of town, the cottage is a stone's throw from the River Greta. Across the river is Fitz Park (with a fantastic children's playground and tennis courts), Keswick Museum (the social enterprise cafe there is a highlight) and Keswick Spa children's swimming pool. Keswick makes a great base to explore the Lake District UNESCO World Heritage Site and there really is something to satisfy all budgets and all tastes.
Entry to the cottage is through a set of French doors, which flood the ground floor rooms with natural light. The living room features a five-seater leather corner settee, leather arm chair, gas fire, Hi-Fi and a TV with video and DVD player. The dining room adjoins the living room and the table seats up to seven guests. The well-stocked kitchen includes gas oven and four-ring hob, dishwasher, microwave, freestanding fridge/freezer, washing machine and tumble dryer.
The first floor features two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a WC. One bedroom has a super-king-size bed that can be split into two singles (please let us know if you'd like us to make the beds up as singles), a built-in wardrobe, bureau, dresser and a small TV and stereo (bring your auxiliary cable if you want to play music from your phone). The second bedroom has a double bed, double aspect windows, a built-in wardrobe and chest of drawers. The two bathrooms each contain a walk-in drencher shower, basin, heated towel rail and WC.
The attic room (available on request and at an additional charge) is accessed via a permanent ladder from the first floor with twin beds, suitable for adults and children over 15. A huge TV is available, but only works with a gaming system, so be sure to bring the Playstation or Xbox.
