Perfect location, walking distance into Keswick town centre.
Added bonus of a courtyard garden.
We didn’t find the sofa’s very comfortable but apart from that small niggle, 10/10 property.

We’ve stayed at Byways every year for perhaps the last 10 years or so, so that tells you all you need to know as far as we are concerned. It’s a nice cosy little house, perfect for the two of us and our two dogs, but also enough room for a couple of extra people as well. It’s in a great location, just a short walk into the town, parking is usually easy enough on the street and the little patio area is great to sit out after a days walk on the fells. It’s furnished to a good standard, the kitchen is reasonably equipped, good bathroom, and the beds are comfortable. Ticks all our boxes.

First time in Keswick and with Keswick cottages. Very impressed with both. One minor quibble is not being made aware of complete lack of any kitchen basics, ie salt and pepper. Don't mind that it is not provided, more than happy to bring my own, if made aware. The cottage was Immaculate and the location was perfect. An extra special thank you for the card and bottle of fizz for our wedding anniversary.

Another cosy short break at Byways. Raining again but we can only afford to go out of the peak seasons! The cottage was very clean as usual and has everything we need. Location is walking distance from all facilities and there is plenty of street parking. I think people have mentioned this before but it would be good if arrival time could go back to 2pm instead of 4pm so that some of the first day could be enjoyed

This is my 4th stay with Keswick cottages, Byways being the smallest cottage so far, location good very quiet at night patio area very small so no good for dogs. The owners need to provide instructions for appliances on the tablet or paper instructions in a drawer as these come in very handy when needed.

The cottage was lovely and cosy. The location was great for activities and walking the dog. We really appreciated the little hamper left for us. We would definitely return :)
Unfortunately we couldn't get the dishwasher to work but this didn't affect out stay.

We have stayed at Byways numerous times. It’s always spotlessly clean and well presented on the first day, also with a handy kitchen essentials pack. Sofas are comfortable for a rest at the end of a long walk, unless you did that in the pub! Beds are comfortable so you get a good sleep to recover for the next days hike! Great location for a 5-10 walk to the town centre, or an hour in the opposite direction to the top of Walla Crag. We’ll be back again soon!

Our cottage in Keswick delivered above our expectations! It was well prepared for meal prep and dining. The beds offered a good night sleep after hiking. The location was an easy walk to the city park and downtown businesses.

We have stayed at Byways several times so it really does feel like a home from home. This time we had a short break at the end of November so it was no surprise that it rained most of the time! However, we had come prepared with all our waterproof walking gear so enjoyed some good walks in fabulous scenery including Walla Crag, Buttermere and Whinlatter Forest. It was nice to have a cosy place to come back to. We also visited the Dog and Gun three times and enjoyed their goulash, as well as their lovely Loweswater Gold. Well, walking is thirsty work! Hope to visit Keswick again soon in better weather!

The 2 of us stayed in Byways with our dogs and couldn’t fault the layout of the cottage, location or how it was furnished and set up.
Well appointed kitchen, spotless.

Holiday
Really good holiday at keswick and cottage in a great spot with everything you need inside.
There were a couple things to make it better. The floors downstairs were tidy when arrived but hour after walking on floor without shoes on and socks /our feet were black so it was clear floors hadn't been washed.
The little garden is a great feature but needs some attention and a tidy. The washing line holder was really dirty although we didn't use it the garden area needs some care.
Enjoyable stay in a great location.

Keswick dog friendly
Great location. Easy walk into keswick but far enough back for it to be quiet and easy to park
Beds comfortable and kitchen well equipped.
Bathroom/towels/bedding were all nice and clean.
However general cleanliness of kitchen equipment and floors could be improved. (under table leg dog hair/ dust)
