    “Frans Nest was everything and more than I expected.”

    I had the property shortlisted for such a long time but couldn’t justify booking until I had the idea to bring my family! The mezzanine views and the look of comfort first attracted me to the property and it was so much better in real life. My highlights had to be: The mezzanine views (being an avid hiker) The comfort The cleanliness The location Thank you for a great stay!

    Thank you so much Yvonne for your lovely comments and we are delighted you enjoyed your stay at Fran’s Nest. We take great pride in providing a wonderful guest experience and no matter what the weather throws up the view from the top floor picture window still blows us away every time. The autumn leaves are coming and so the view across to Catbells and beyond will delight yet again. Would love to welcome you back in the future. Property Owner

The property

This beautiful Georgian home is situated in the market centre of Keswick in a prime area.

Fran's Nest is a perfect location for families and friends wishing to be close to the action of Keswick while being easily accessible to Bassenthwaite, Ullswater, and Ambleside further afield.

It has a variety of services within a short walk.

Enjoy watching your favourite TV series in the sitting area after a day of sightseeing.

It has two comfortable sofas and an electric fireplace, so it's perfect for cosy nights in.

Let the house chef wow you in the modern kitchen, which has a variety of integrated appliances, including an electric oven, induction hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, and even a dishwasher, so there's no need to lift a finger when it comes to cleaning up!

You won't need to bring your entire wardrobe because there is a utility room with a washer and dryer for your convenience. In the dining area, prepare a delectable dinner and serve a bottle of sparkling wine as you toast to a long-awaited getaway with your loved ones.

As you prepare to sleep, head upstairs and drift off to sleep in one of the three bedrooms.

The first floor has a twin bedroom as well as a delightful double bedroom and bathroom.

If you keep going up to the second story, you'll find a feature king size galleried bedroom with spectacular commanding views of Keswick and the northwest fells, including Catbells and Robinson. There is a tiny patio outside where you can unwind with your favourite beverage and consider your vacation so far.

Fran's Nest is close to all of Keswick's wonderful services and activities, including cafes, bars, quaint tearooms, and antique stores.

Choose between the Pencil Museum, Keswick Museum, or The Puzzling Place on those days when it's pouring outside.

For summer evenings, Hope Park and Theatre By The Lake are ideal venues.

If you want to climb mountains like Skiddaw and Blencathra for their breathtaking views, don't forget to carry your walking shoes!

There are several hiking, sailing, and watersports opportunities along Derwentwater, and the gorgeous Bassenthwaite Lake National Nature Reserve is nearby.

In contrast, Ullswater is home to the Aira Force Waterfall and offers boat tours to lakeside settlements like Pooley Bridge and Glenridding.

The popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the North of the Lake District and has plenty to offer the visitor at any time of year. The town boasts numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, excellent parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing and great mountain biking opportunities, whilst the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. Nearby, between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw or the famous Catbells, there really is something for everyone. Visit Castlerigg Stone Circle, the Jennings Brewery and Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the Bassenthwaite Lake, or take a fabulous boat trip around Derwentwater. With plenty of attractions for the kids, lovely parks and the nearby Lake District Wildlife Park this is a great Lakeland destination whatever the time of year.
