Fabulous property situated in an ideal location for exploring Keswick and the surrounding areas. Very cosy and very well equipped making it an ideal family base with home from home comforts. Huge utility with ample space for coats and boots along with an additional standing fridge / freezer and both a washer and dryer. Really cosy lounge with log bRead moreurner along with an initial supply of logs which was a really nice touch. Additional snug with TV offering an ideal space for members of our party to escape. We always forget to bring things like dishwasher tablets and washing up liquid but again, all supplied which was another lovely touch. Parking for 4 cars once we realised the additional parking area opposite the cottage. It was the wrong time of the year weather-wise, but the outside and garden area was beautiful and well positioned overlooking the river. The short walk into the town centre is very beneficial given how busy it is in Keswick these days. We have been visiting Keswick for many years as a family and have always stayed at Lingholm however, this property is now an equal favourite and we will certainly book again. Highly recommend. Hide

Solway was the perfect cottage for our family holiday to Keswick. Brilliantly located near to Fitz Park, The Pencil museum, Kong Climb Centre and town. The cottage is decorated and furnished to a very high standard, beds comfortable (on the softer side) and the kitchen was a delight to cook and entertain in. The garage for bike storage was an addedRead more bonus. Keswick is a lovely location for a holiday. Words cannot describe the surrounding hills and countryside and the beautiful and accessible walks. We ate well, had excellent coffee in the many independent cafes and remained throughly entertained (and happy) even when the weather was against us! We will definitely be back. Hide

Fantastic stay in Solway. The cottage was pristine and in a beautiful location with views of surrounding mountains. Comfy beds and hot showers. Very spacious too with a useful boot room. Would definitely stay again.
