About this cottage rental
If you're seeking a special property with the 'wow' factor look no further than Shelley's Cottage. This two bedroom property of historical interest has been sympathetically refurbished to an exceptional standard with attention to detail throughout.
There is so much to love about this quaint characterful cottage where new and old blend seamlessly, and given the links to one of the most celebrated Romantic Poets of that era, Percy Shelley, the cottage would be an excellent choice for a romantic getaway, but also serves well family holidays or walkers looking for a convenient base to explore the area.
As you enter the cottage you will find yourself in the impressive hallway, with umbrella stand and space for coats and boots, and first impressions are sure to be positive!
The brand new modern kitchen in cool blue tones will certainly tempt you to cook and dine in during your visit. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of cookware, crockery and glassware, and is fitted with an under counter fridge, dishwasher, integrated microwave, electric hob, oven, plenty of cupboard space, and a stunning butlers sink. Essentials are paired with indulgent extras such as a Nespresso coffee machine and a wine cooler.
The delightful living room has a comfortable two seater fabric sofa, window bench, and two easy chairs positioned around the wall mounted Smart TV, and a lovely reading corner in the nook next to the window where you can take a moment to gaze over the fell views. The room is impeccably decorated with quality furniture and beautiful co-ordinating colours and fabrics for a homely feel.
The luxurious bathroom with marble tile has excellent fixtures and fittings, and features a Victorian style bath with shower over, double sinks and plenty of storage.
Downstairs there is a second WC and stunning marble sink in keeping with the style of the cottage. The two bedrooms, one double and one twin, are both positioned to the back of the cottage and each have bespoke beds dressed in crisp white luxury linen and towels.
The multi-functional private enclosed gardens are equally as impressive as the cottage. There is a raised patio area with table and chairs perfect for alfresco dining amongst the fells. The garden is lovingly maintained and the extensive outdoor space a huge bonus for a property within walking distance of Keswick town centre. There is even a lovely Summer house in a peaceful corner of the garden where guests could easily escape the everyday and spend an afternoon of quiet bliss. But don't be fooled, the garden doesn't end there! There is a pathway to discover at the bottom of the garden to uncover the ‘Secret Garden' beyond.
The house boasts fabulous open views of the fells and feels very private, yet is only a 15 minute walk from Keswick town centre.
Guests will not need to worry about parking as there are 2 car parking spaces (one on the gravel driveway, and a second space inside the private garage - also suitable for bike storage)
We advise that children are supervised while enjoying the garden facilities as there is a small frog pond. Please note that this property is not suitable for children under the age of 3 years old.

This was our second year staying in Shelley cottage, having loved it so much last year, and have already booked again for a week next summer! The house is ideally located a short walk from the town centre, which makes parking and driving in/out easy, and is utterly perfect in every way!! The house itself is stunning; beautifully furnished, gorgeously decorated and with a fabulous garden with a view (great if it ever stops raining!) The beds are incredibly comfortable, and they’ve thought of everything you might need for your stay. In short - book it!! (But not when we want it )

The cottage is lovely, with stunning views from the sitting room and kitchen. It is well decorated and furnishedThe kitchen is very well equipped with everything we needed. Lovely bathroom. The summer house and patio could do with upgrading, but we didn't use either as it was so nice in the cottage. Customer service from Keswick Cottages was excellent.

We found Shelley cottage lived up to its description. It was very comfortable, classic decoration and good location. Parking was easy, even with 2 cars as one can be left in the garage. Although on a busy road, it is in a very quiet location. Views from the kitchen and lounge were delightful. We walked via the railway line into Keswick and onward to walks beside Derwent Water. We used the boats and buses to get to various points and it was great to leave the car behind. It is just as easy to walk along the railway line to Threlkeld and beyond. A very easy, warm, comfortable property. The garden does need some TLC and the summerhouse is not quite as inviting as it looks in the pictures. The grass is cut but that is about all. Lovely Grade II listed property with a history.

Pretty little cottage with adequate parking. On a reliable, regular bus route into Keswick or other parts of the Lakes. Easy walk into Keswick on the cycle route about 100 metres from the cottage, away from busy road. Very relaxing few days.

An enjoyable week stay at Shelley Cottage, great location for access to the old railway line which connects straight into Keswick. Although in the main the cottage was good, we felt that the garden needed a tidy up (grass not cut) and the out building at the bottom of the garden needed attention. Lovely views from the small terrace. Issue with damp smell downstairs and the drop in temperature from upstairs to downstairs. Good facilities within the cottage.

We had a fantastic stay in Shelley Cottage. Immediately, it felt warm and inviting. The lounge was lovely for cosy evenings and we slept well in the bedrooms. About 20 minutes to walk into the centre of Keswick. We also walked to Walla Crag, which wasn't too far from the cottage. Didn't get to explore the gardens, but they looked beautiful. We would definitely stay here again.

We had a lovely stay at Shelley Cottage. It has been recently refurbished to a very high standard with lovely fully equipped kitchen. It was very cosy and warm.

Beautiful cottage in really handy location. Well equipped, warm and comfortable. Garden would be brilliant in the summer and on a dry day there would be really good views. On site parking a huge bonus. With just a short walk to the centre of Keswick and all the amenities but far enough out to be peaceful the cottage is in the ideal place.
Would certainly book again!

A cosy, tasteful and well equipped cottage decorated beautifully for Christmas.
It also has a lovely garden which would be great in the summer - mind you, this is Keswick so it may rain then too!!

Shelley Cottage is a cosy, well appointed cottage in the beautiful town of Keswick. The cottage had everything that we needed and beautifully clean throughout. Only a short walk into the centre of Keswick but far enough out that it was lovely and peaceful - the views from the cottage are quite special! We booked through Keswick Cottages who communicated well throughout the stay and the personalised tablet was a nice touch with lots of great local information. We'll definitely book again in the near future. Thanks!

Gorgeous cottage with fantastic views from the rear garden. Great location in Keswick, only a 10 minute walk to the town center.
The cottage was spotless and had everything needed for my stay. Highly recommended and will be booking again

The property has loads of character with lovely unusual features. The decor and furnishings have a real quality feel. Comfortable beds and a good hot shower were very much appreciated. Good location and great view from the upstairs rooms. It was very warm and snug even when bitterly cold outside. I would have welcomed the addition of a washing machine/drier especially in February when the weather can be very wet, or even a clothes airier to hang soggy clothes on. If I had read the list of facilities provided in the property I might have brought more clothes . However most Keswick cottages seem to have these things as a standard provision. A waste bin in the bedrooms and downstairs toilet would have been nice. Overall it was a very comfortable home from home.
