Ideal location for walks in and around Keswick. The cottage was perfect for the two of us with the added advantage of off road parking.

A lovely cosy cottage not far from the centre of Keswick. Recently refurbished and the colour scheme changed to green. It has been updated without losing the cosy nature of the cottage. Has everything you need for a wonderful stay. Keswick Cottages staff are very helpful, professional and friendly and we wouldn't stay anywhere else in the Lake District. 10 out of 10 as always. Already booked again for 2025.

We had a lovely short break at Birchgate. It is very cosy and the open fire was great. Short walk into Keswick centre too. Would recommend.

Had a perfect week. Beautiful location just a short walk into central Keswick. Easy directions right to the parking space! Good communication throughout, clean and tidy, fluffy towels, sharp knives- a well equipped property. Big thanks to housekeeping staff.

We have stayed at Birchgate many times over the years. On our last visit the property needed updating and redecoration. This has been carried out to a high standard and as a result we were extremely impressed and as a family had an excellent time. As usual excellent service from Keswick Cottages and we will definitely be back.

We had a lovely stay at Birchgate. The cottage is really well equipped, especially the kitchen.
It is cosy and warm.
The cottage was spotless and tidy.
Great to have parking and an enclosed garden.
The location is great, right next to the park and the town centre. Loads of walks without having to take the car anywhere. We and our dog loved it and hope to stay again.

Have stayed many times before - a comfortable and cosy cottage with parking and close to Keswick centre. Plenty of walks from the door too. There were some dog hairs as pets are allowed. Overall, well equipped and furnished.

We arrived at the property and where impressed with its close location to the centre of Keswick. The property is access by vehicle down a narrow lane. Reverse parking into the bay outside the property is advised this will make entry into and exit from the bay easier. The ground floor was accessed via the kitchen and very nice it is. It is also the eating area. Upstairs the bath was a lovely after a days walking. The bed was most comfortable also. We had a lovely stay and would stay here again.

Quiet location but still very convenient for the centre of town (less than 10 minutes walk). Well equipped kitchen. The bedrooms are conformable with plenty of storage. Front room well furnished and comfortable. Overall an excellent holiday cottage.

Second time at Birchgate.
Is very near to town centre and the lovely Fitz park so ideal location and there is a parking slot outside which is a bonus in Keswick.
The kitchen is large and has all the necessary equipment although a small freezer box wouldn’t be amiss.
The cottage is cosy although could do with a little tlc.
The bathroom is a good size but could do with a little cosmetic attention, also the water won’t stay in sink and the water pressure for shower is poor and changes from hot to cold,
The double bed is uncomfortable but that may be personal preference.
Like I said this was a return visit but mainly due to location.

Excellent location with parking on site. Good accommodation, but bathroom probably needs some attention.

Our family of four (with 3 year old and 8 month old baby) loved our stay in this lovely cottage which was a bit larger than we were expecting. Having a parking spot on the drive is invaluable in the busy Keswick residential area and helped with quick hops in and out of the car if it was raining with the kids.
The kitchen is very good, clean and well equipped. Super to have a dishwasher and good washer-dryer.
Lounge nice and comfortable, good smart TV.
Beds comfortable and bathroom a good size for kids bathtime.
Would stay again.

Had another great stay at Birchgate, been coming here for over 10 years now, so convenient for the town centre and as a base for enjoying the Lakes.

We enjoyed our stay at Birchgate Cottage, very comfortable clean and tidy.
I did ring the office to say that the carpet area at the bottom of the stairs was very dirty they would
have sent somone to clean but as it did not affect us we were happy to leave it .
All in all a very enjoyable week.
Parking space a bonus in Keswick!

Our elderly dog loved it, especially as there were large rugs on the laminate flooring so she didn’t slip. The location was perfect for her and loved her jaunts to the park opposite to watch for rabbits! The lake was within walking distance for her too.

The cottage is in a great location although parking space tight for a large car. The week we stayed one of the hottest ever so not happy that none of the downstairs windows or bathroom opened as locked and painted shut. Unable to have a good shower as pressure poor and temperature went from boiling hot to cold by itself . Lovely cottage but needs a bit of tlc and maintenance.

Loved every minute, well equipped with everything you need, loved the log fire, lovely and warm, comfy beds, great location by park and into Keswick. Very quiet on a night. Enclosed garden for dogs. Even did my washing before we came home. Great customer service. Very impressed
4.0
Lovely location . Very easy for town centre and walks to Braithwaite and Walla cragg from door .
Very comfortable bed and warm and cosy inside .
Every amenity you could ask for .. except microwave dishes .
The curtains in the main bedroom are tired as is some of the deco and they let in the light from the security light on the neighbours yard opposite so until you get used to it .. not a good nights sleep .. carpets need a deep clean or replaced and there were for my liking a bit too many ornaments in the main bedroom and windowsills that could easily break .
Off road parking a bonus and quiet at night .

We have used Keswick Cottages a couple of times now and their customer service is second to none. They are so knowledgeable on all their properties . Birchgate was ideal fir what we needed, a little base walking distance to Keswick over Christmas. It had the essentials needed, parking with enclosed garden for the pup. The lovely open fire was n added bonus. Would sty here again for sure.

Our third time in this house, it is really cozy, clean and just a minute's walk to the centre. Quiet too.

An excellent base for exploring the Lakeland fells
Perfect for a couple or young family - 4 adults might find the accommodation a bit cramped.
Not sure how warm the property would be for a Winter stay.
As usual in an older property a little TLC would not go amiss in a few places but this in no way detracted from our stay.
