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!

Well equipped, end of terrace cottage. Location good for Fitz Park and town centre. Outside seating in enclosed garden.

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.

Beautiful house in a very quiet location in Keswick. This cottage felt like a home from home, very comfortable everything you need in the kitchen snug living room and comfortable beds and a lovely bathroom. Small court yard garden lovely for a drink in the morning.

Lovely cosy cottage for a weekend or winter break. Small but all you need for a couple (& two dogs). Clean and comfortable very good location for town and dogs loved Fitz park.

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.

Good facilities, very clean. Double bed too small, could do with a queen or king bed. Not enough loo roll for 4 days!!

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.

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)
