This was our 3 visit to this cottage. Nicely situated right on top of Fitzroy park and a 5 minute stroll into Keswick town centre. Kitchen is well stocked for anyone wanting to cook. We didn’t experience any problems with the WiFi. No parking with this property, however a permit is issued for the long stay car parks . Would definitely recommend to friends.

This cottage is in a really good situation for a Keswick based stay in the Lake District. The parking permit at the nearby long stay car park works very well, quite frankly you could easily spend a week there without using your car at all. The cottage itself is on the small side, suitable for two adults and two children perhaps, four adults staying at the same time might be a bit challenging. The stairs are steep and narrow with a very tight turn at the top of the stairs. Hand rail support is really well worked out, nevertheless less mobile people might struggle with it. The cottage was clean and tidy on arrival and the kitchen was well equipped. The beds are comfortable though small, mainly because the bedrooms themselves are quite small. Having said all of this, we were a party of two adults and the size and proportions of the property was absolutely fine. The door handle on the inside of the bathroom door was loose - splitting hairs now, as the property has been maintained very well.

We chose the property principally because of the location. Close to central Keswick and with easy access to Fitz Park which is a popular dog friendly park. The cottage itself exceeded our expectations. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Cannot identify any equipment that was not there. We are planning to visit again in 2025.

A lovely clean and welcoming cottage in a fantastic location, with car parking just a stroll away. Great to have a front and rear garden to sit out and enjoy the views of the park. Everything you needed was in the cottage, so we are looking forward to another stay. Would recommend 100 %

This cottage was in a great location bordering the beautiful and interesting Fitz park and easy to get to Keswick town centre. It was very well appointed and exceptionally clean and warm on our arrival. Appreciated this! It had everything we could possibly want for our stay. We WILL be back!

This was our third stay at Fairbank. Yet again it didn't disappoint. The cottage is very welcoming, warm and provides a well stocked kitchen if you choose to cook. With the added bonus of the dishwasher. I cannot think of any negatives and would definitely recommend Fairbank to anyone who wishes to visit the Lake District. Ideal location for walking, car used once during our stay, as the bus didn't go to Buttermere. A parking permit is provided with the car being parked about a minute away for the cottage. Also thank you to Keswick Cottages as booking through them is so easy and communication prior to arrival excellent. Hopefully we will be back at Fairbank for a fourth time fairly soon

Great little cottage, good location, perfect for dog owners, it’s a two bed cottage but a bit small for 4 adults, better for a small family, lovely and cosy well equipped everything you need, looks out over Fitz park with access from the front of the cottage, no parking but a permit is issued for Otley Rd car park which is only round the corner you can also use it in the long stay and lakeside car parks, very handy when busy. A perfect little cottage.

Beautiful cottage with small front and back garden, it was very clean and had all the facilities you need. The view over Fitz park from the Kitchen was very nice. Could not fault the cottage. Left the car in Otley road car park all week which was 2 minute walk after unloading our luggage outside the cottage itself, and you could be in the town center in less than 10 minutes walking. Found the bed was very comfortable. There is games and even jigsaws to do for entertainment. My grandson loved walking in Fitz park every morning taking our Golden retriever for a short walk before starting the day. There was no traffic noise only the sound of the river Greta making it very peaceful. I would not hesitate in booking the cottage again. My only regret is that we had to come home...

We really enjoyed our week at Fairbank. The cottage is in a great position with easy walking distance to the shops etc, and right next to the lovely Fitz Park. We had dogs and I was very pleased with the front and back yard areas as they were totally secure. The cottage provides dog blankets for the sofa. The kitchen was an ideal room for our dogs to sleep. The area is very quiet and although you can drive along the gravel road to drop off pick up from the cottage, the road got very little passing traffic. The only slight downside was not being able to park at the cottage and if like us, you arrive on a very busy Saturday afternoon when there is an event happening, parking can be difficult. However apart from that, we found a space in the nearby long stay car park. Overall it was lovely and I’d recommend the cottage. Staff at Keswick Cottages were also very helpful and friendly.

Lovely, centrally located property. Perfect location for Keswick and dog owners with park opposite and enclosed areas front and back of property. Lovely views from kitchen and master bedroom. Car park ( permit was provided) minutes walk away. Fairbank was immaculately clean and really prompt replies for any queries. We have used Keswick Cottages several times and always found them helpful and friendly. Many thanks

If you want a great location, especially if you have dogs, this is the cottage for you. Open the back door and you're a stones throw literally from Fitz Park, yet only a 5 minute walk in to the town centre. Unfortunately, that's about it for the positives. Oh, the bathroom was nice and modern, and the gas burner a nice addition in December. The cottage was very dirty, and not just that the cleaner had missed the off thing that week. This was weeks worth of dirt and grime. From dirt in the cutlery drawer, to grease on the hob, dirt on the kitchen cupboard doors, to every skirting board in the house being filthy! We accidentally spilt some water on the living room floor. I couldn't believe how black the kitchen roll was after I'd moped it up! I've stayed in many holiday cottages and never seen anything like it. The first couple of hours of our stay, having arrived after office hours, was spent cleaning - not a great start to the holiday. I sent photo's to Keswick Cottages and got a call from a lady from the cleaning team to say sorry. I finished the call slightly puzzled as to why they had rang. I don't feel a quick phone call apology sufficed if I'm honest, but that's all I got. The sofa's are very uncomfortable - that could be a personal taste, and others might like them, but worth a mention. Likewise the very soft bed, and the single beds had the lovely plastic under sheets on them - not everyone sleeping in a single bed is a child with bladder issues! Lastly, we stayed over Christmas, as we have done in many cottages. Usually the cottage is decorated accordingly. We had a small wooden reindeer at the door and a Christmas table cloth on the small dining table - not very festive! This could be a fantastic cottage, in a fantastic location. Luckily the location can't be changed, hopefully the amount of TLC it gets will!

Superb property ideally located in Keswick. Updates before, during and after our visit were precise and the tablet in the cottage very informative without having to leaf through a huge folder. I also found the walking books in the living room helpful. All mod cons in the property, which was well presented, cosy and with an excellent bathroom. The back garden was also useful. One very minor suggestion - perhaps get some more glasses for those of us who link a pint as there was nothing more than small beaker and perhaps larger wine glasses. Offers terrific value for money and despite the weather not behaving we enjoyed our time in Keswick and will no doubt be back.

A gem of a cottage in a perfect location

This was the perfect cottage for us, we've stopped in a lot of dog friendly cottages and you can tell dogs have been in there, you can't with the Fairbanks, it was spotlessly clean. The location is ideal, in a quiet road with a bridge over to the park a stones throw away, the town is a 2 minute walk. We will be returning.

Lovely cottage in an excellent location. Very clean and well prepared on arrival, good range of equipment. Convenient parking in nearby car park. Could do with a mat inside kitchen at back door especially after wet, muddy walks. Also we found the duvets too warm for May.

Lovely cottage, great location, just a few things missing for a perfect stay

Lovely cottage, great location, just a few things missing for a perfect stay

Fairbank Cottage is ideally situated for a holiday in Keswick, with shops and bus station just a 5 minute walk away. The cottage itself is beautifully decorated and full of nice details. The only things missing were somewhere to hang wet towels in the bathroom and some provision for shedding (and drying) wet and muddy walking gear!
