The property was lovely, finished to a high spec.

parking was bit of an issue as we arrived in more than one car, parking is bit of a fee for all. The property is dog friendly but no where just to let the dog out for a quick toilet before bed time or an urgent first thing in the morning. I would recommend anyone to stay at this property it’s close to town and Derwent water and so many beautiful walks very close.

Dovedale cottage proved itself to be an ideal venue for a one week holiday in Keswick.

We were a group of 4 adults and two teenagers and at no time did we feel as if we were living on top of each other. It is a 5 minute stroll into the centre of Keswick with all its shops and there is a Go Local even closer. Upon arrival the cottage was spotless. We met Les the owner and he explained that all the cleaning is done by himself and wife. There were more free treats than I get on Christmas Day. Too many to list but all appreciated and used.

We holiday in Keswick every year because we love the place, plenty of lovely walks for all either on the flat or hills for fantastic views.

It’s also very easy to jump on a bus and explore other areas outside Keswick. Dovedale has been one of the best properties we have stayed during our times in Keswick. From the property cleanliness to all the nice touches like wine and treats, we could not fault it. We will definitely stay again.
