“Lovely quiet apartment in a suberb location.”

Yes it’s a little walk down into Keswick but gives you a chance to enjoy a countryside walk. Once onto the main road turn down onto the walk/cycle track on the left side and it brings you near to the town. The cottage was warm and had every kitchen utensil. Provided washing up liquid etc. Beds comfy. Plenty of hot water for showers and baths. Would stay again

“Lovely property to use as a base for exploring the beautiful area of Keswick and beyond.”

Stunning views from the living room although the large front window would benefit from a blind as other guests can see right into the house as they walk from the car park to their holiday apartments. The approach to the house was rutted and narrow, which was not made clear in the description. Luckily, we have a large car, but I imagine that a less powerful car would struggle with this.

“This is a lovely place for two people to enjoy the wonderful views in excellent comfort.”

Sarah July 2023

“This is the second time we've stayed in Garden Cottage.”

The location is perfect... peaceful with beautiful grounds yet within walking distance of the town centre. We loved sitting in the lounge in the evenings watching the weather come in and out of the mountains (as well as the escapades of the resident fox). The accommodation itself had everything we needed for our stay and is modern, light and airy. We will definitely be back.

- Sarah, July 2023
David July 2023

“Another stay in this lovely holiday accommodation.”

Glorious views of Cat Bells and the Newland Valley beyond. A quiet location in easy walking distance of the centre of Keswick. Highly recommended!

- David, July 2023
Pauleen April 2023

“The house is beautifully maintained and equipped.”

Everything you need to cook and relax. Little extras such as the welcome treats much appreciated. Comfy bed, good quality linen and towels. Only a short ish walk into town, but feels remote with lovely views. We will be returning and highly recommend.

- Pauleen, April 2023
David April 2023

“Well-equipped, spacious and comfortable, with a nice welcome pack.”

Couldn't fault it really. The extractor fan in the (windowless) bathroom wasn't working, so we reported it to the agent when they courtesy-called us on day 2 and it was fixed within 48 hours. Please note: the keycode is incorrectly stated in the property's information folder. The 150m winding dirt track leading to the paved driveway would be an issue for low-slung vehicles - deeply rutted in places and in need of repair. It would be helpful to mention this in the listing - better to forewarn than for it to be a major problem for someone on arrival. It's a narrow, winding single-track with no passing places and would be difficult to reverse if you were to meet one of the other guests coming the other way. And if you intend to walk out after dark, pack a torch! We enjoyed our stay, the views and the setting were lovely and we wouldn't hesitate to book it again.

“Fantastic property in a great location.”

Very clean with everything you could need.

Brian October 2022

“We are pleased you are going to share our feedback with the property owner.”

We love coming to Garden Cottage and have stayed there several times since 2009. But…. The big concern we have is the considerable deterioration in the condition of the access track once you leave Eleventrees. It is the one factor which might discourage us from coming back and we dread every it every time we use it.

- Brian, October 2022
Chloe August 2022

“The place is really well located to discover the Lakes and Keswick.”

The place is spacious and cosy, with amazing views over the mountains. We spent such a good week there and would return again. Thank you for everything!

- Chloe, August 2022
Rebecca July 2022

“Lovely cottage, our third stay here, enjoyed the views and the garden.”

The only thing that needs attention is the shared driveway, (not the owners responsibility) this is in bad state of repair and makes access difficult, not good for low vehicles. Experienced a power cut for couple of hours, very dark - would benefit a windup torch. Otherwise excellent. Thank you.

- Rebecca, July 2022
Joanna July 2022

“Lovely cottage with very comfortable bed!”

Great views, peaceful setting. It would have been helpful to know that there IS a washing machine (not listed in the details). As many others have mentioned, the lamp outside the bathroom hangs too low & hits the door of the cupboard when opened, which is annoying & will cause damage. Overall, a really great place to stay.

- Joanna, July 2022
Lynda May 2022

“The positives - a fabulous cottage in a stunning location - just beautiful, especially sitting out in the evening overlooking the fells.”

Also the views from the picture windows from inside the cottage were amazing ! The furnishings were lovely and so clean. The negatives - I say this as we really want to return and need a few improvements. Please provide more tea plates (only 2 !! ) and towels (1 each for a 3 night/4 day stay was not enough. The toilet roll holder was hanging off the wall and agree with previous reviewer that the light switch near cupboard must be shortened. Would we stay again ? Absolutely - stunning!

- Lynda, May 2022
Michael April 2022

“What a stunning location with a view of the fells that we could not stop looking at.”

The accommodation is perfectly laid out with everything you need for either an active or a relaxing holiday. The location is a bit out of the town which makes for a very quiet and peaceful stay. It is only a short walk along the old railway path into the busy town. If I could change something, I would shorten the light cord so the cupboard door doesn’t hit the shade. We never got used to that all week. I would also add a shaver socket to the bathroom, our electric toothbrush needs one to keep it topped up. Some may need to shave too. This is certainly one of those places that we will return to.

- Michael, April 2022
Peter November 2021

“Perfect for two, very quiet.”

A good base for walks in the northern lakes. The welcome treats were very appreciated. We can see why so many visitors return.

- Peter, November 2021
Rebecca October 2021

“This was our first visit to Garden Cottage and we were not disappointed.”

It's a lovely modern feeling Cottage, well furnished and well equipped. It was lovely, warm and welcoming. The views from the windows are stunning, and the gardens and grounds are lovely, despite torrential rain it was a pleasure to stay in. I was particularly pleased that the TV offered Freeview, iPlayer, Amazon video and Netflix as the weather was so bad and usually never stay indoors but glad to have this, as most holiday lets don't. It's possible to get grocery deliveries there too which is also a plus. Overall fabulous, hopefully back in better weather. Thank you

- Rebecca, October 2021
Charmaine August 2021

“There is damp in the bedroom behind the curtains on the right and the carpet is wet.”

They are aware because they have a little humidifier on the floor but towards the end of the week you could feel the damp on the sheets and there may be complaints from customers that aren’t as kind. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay. Views were phenomenal and the cottage provided lovely treats when we arrived!

- Charmaine, August 2021
Sarah July 2021

“The apartment was in a lovely quiet location yet only 15 minutes walk into the centre of Keswick.”

The views from the lounge were fantastic, and the owners had organised some really nice touches on arrival, with cakes, a bottle of wine and milk left for us. Would definitely recommend.

- Sarah, July 2021
Claire July 2021

“Lovely homely, cosy cottage with stunning views in a great location.”

- Claire, July 2021
David July 2021

“I've come to expect little snags with holiday lettings - a noisy extractor fan or shower that is difficult to set right, a tv that is more than a decade old or token kitchen equipment that assumes you won't be doing much self-catering in a self-catering apartment anyway.”

But not so at Garden Cottage! Everything works and works well! The setting is perfect and the views towards Cat Bells and beyond are heavenly. I tried to fault it in some way but all that I could find is a light fitting outside the bathroom which bangs against a cupboard door each time it is opened. A couple of inches off the flex is all that is keeping this glorious apartment from perfection! My wife and I had a wonderful holiday in a glorious part of the world aided in no small part by our stay in Garden Cottage.

- David, July 2021
Rachel June 2021

“This is our third time at this lovely property and it has always been excellent.”

A lovely quiet location with a great view. I am sure we will be returning. However receiving an email and text message telling our holiday was over on Friday morning weren’t necessary as we were well aware.

- Rachel, June 2021
Julie June 2021

“Very clean and comfortable cottage in a beautiful location.”

Lovely welcome pack. Our 4th visit and hope to return again in the future.

- Julie, June 2021
Sue June 2021

“Great views from inside or out, cottage was lovely and had everything we needed.”

- Sue, June 2021
Liz May 2021

“Garden Cottage was very comfortable and had superb views over the fells around Keswick.”

Access to Keswick is easy in foot via the walking track along the old railway line. We really enjoyed our stay. Good sensible covid protocols. A few more cereal bowls would have allowed us to make better use of the dish washer. The sign up the track to the property is hidden behind a low wall!

- Liz, May 2021
Alison May 2021

“Our second visit to this cottage and we will come again.”

Great location, nicely furnished, clean with wonderful views. It is possible to leave the car and just walk from the door all week!

- Alison, May 2021
Charles May 2021

“An absolute gem of a cottage, with possibly the best views I’ve ever had from a holiday cottage.”

It was immaculately clean and you could of cooked a banquet in the extremely well equipped kitchen, shower was powerful and hot, bed very comfy but the views are what will blow you away. Ate in Casa Bella, The Royal Oak and Lakes Bar and Bistro and can recommend them all. Did some amazing walks, did Derwentwater walk but if you walk to and from the cottage it makes it nearly 14 miles.... Keswick to Threlkeld railway trail is a lovely level walk and we did a couple of trails at Whinlatter Forest, the only negative was people arrived Friday night and you could hear them moving about upstairs and again in the morning but it would not stop me returning.

- Charles, May 2021

“A great apartment, well eqipped with thoughtful welcoming extras, in great location with stunning views, will definately come again!”

- Rod, December 2020
Elizabeth October 2020

“Garden Cottage was clean, warm and spacious with wonderful views.”

The facilities for self catering were excellent making our stay very relaxed. On arrival we found scones, butter and jam waiting for us which was much appreciated. In addition there was a complimentary bottle of wine in the fridge and some fresh flowers on the table. These small touches were most welcoming. All instructions to ensure our safety during our stay at the Cottage whilst COVID-19 is still ongoing were clearly outlined after making the booking. Similarly instructions left in the property were really straight forward to follow allowing safe procedures for staff entering for cleaning or maintenance etc. The thorough planning was both impressive and reassuring. We had a very enjoyable stay familiarising ourselves with this stunning area and would happily make a return visit.

- Elizabeth, October 2020
Alison September 2020

“The position of the apartment and views were wonderful.”

The accommodation clearly benefited from an owner who valued the place and went the extra mile to ensure small details were there to make a guest's stay just perfect. We would definitely return.

- Alison, September 2020
Gill July 2020

“Garden Cottage is a lovely cottage with superb views.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would certainly like to return.

- Gill, July 2020
Daxa February 2020

“The views from the property were truly amazing and we even spotted a rabbit in the garden!”

The property had everything you could wish for and the extra treats were much appreciated. Thank you

- Daxa, February 2020
Margaret December 2019

“A beautiful apartment with amazing views - Could not have asked for anything more.”

However, it did take 30 minutes to walk to town centre - not 10 as stated in property description. This might be important to some - indeed it was important to me with my arthritic knee ! But, as it turned out - the house so nice we were happy to stay in. Thankyou so much for all the little extras -the Christmas Tree was lovely and the mince pies delicious! I have already recommended to friends. thanks again

- Margaret, December 2019
Jane November 2019

“Wonderful stay, apartment was well kitted out and with lovely welcome touches of fresh flowers and scrumptious scones.”

Secluded property with views out to the fells and yet still in walking distance of Keswick centre.

- Jane, November 2019
Susan September 2019

“HAVE VISITED MANY TIMES, ALWAYS PERFECT.”

- Susan, September 2019
Caroline August 2019

“We were really impressed with this apartment.”

As frequent holiday makers in keswick this is the best accommodation by far to suit our self catering needs. It is close enough to keswick to walk into and the facilities are very clean and luxurious. Very roomy for 2 people and our 6 month old baby. The view from the apartment is its standout feature, looking out across the mountains and town. So peaceful and relaxing to simply stare out over on an evening. The welcome goodies (scones, jam, milk and wine) were a very lovely gesture. Sue, the owner, was very easy to contact and extremely helpful. We really hope to return sometime soon.

- Caroline, August 2019
Amanda July 2019

“The apartment was equipped and furnished to a very high standard.”

We loved being able to sit on the patio and enjoy the views and the tranquility. Whilst nothing particularly wrong with them, a newer sofa and firmer bed mattress would make the score 10/10!

- Amanda, July 2019
James May 2019

“Spotlessly clean, excellent facilities, thoughtful goodies on arrival (milk, scones and wine).”

The flat has its own entrance which made it feel more individual. The bed was extremely comfy and the duvet was of good quality. We had a fantastic stay and will definitely return to this property if we are holidaying in the Keswick area again. The guestbook included many references to return visits, and we can see why.

- James, May 2019
Marian April 2019

“The location, the view, the high level of furnishings and equipment.”

FYI the toilet is prone to keeping running so the cystern is empty. We could not work out how to switch on the central heating.

- Marian, April 2019
Mary March 2019

“We had a fabulous holiday celebrating my husbands 60 th Birthday.”

The accommodation was fabulous , will certainly tell all our friends and family about it. Hope to return next year. Many thanks for an amazing experience. Mary and Martin Hichens.

Lloyd July 2018

“Great cottage with amazing views of the lakes and easy access to major roads.”

Great facilities that made it feel like a real home away from home. If we're ever staying in Keswick again we'll look to stay here again.

- Lloyd, July 2018
Ian June 2018

“Fantastic cottage with good facilities and a brilliant view.”

A really excellent welcome pack - wine,scones, milk and jam. Secluded terrace with a view to die for and good parking. Small niggles - bulb missing from a side light with no spare, hooks needed on back of doors for hanging towels/dressing gowns and hairdryer not working. Small things which in no way affected a brilliant cottage and holiday, just ares for improvement. Would certainly stay again.

- Ian, June 2018

“Our second stay at the Cottage and, once again, it was everything we could have hoped for.”

It is a beautifully furnished property with outstanding views and I would recommend it to anyone.

The property

Garden Cottage is a converted one bedroom ground floor apartment located in delightful gardens with views over the town to the fells beyond. An ideal romantic retreat to enjoy the Lake District at any time of year. Fieldside Grange is located on the outskirts of Keswick on the Castlerigg Stone Circle road accessed by its own private drive way lined with mature trees, shrubs and rhododendrons. Built circa 1850, Fieldside Grange was once a farmhouse and has been sympathetically renovated and refurbished in recent years to provide four 1 bedroom and six 2 bedroom apartments whilst retaining its original slate and stone building. Set in its own grounds of 1 and a half acres which offer magnificent views towards Keswick and Derwent Water, there is ample space to enjoy a picnic or for the kids to run around whilst still in sight of the building. The apartments are all individually designed and are centrally heated: Garden Cottage is a lovely ground floor apartment with the benefit of having its very own private garden and patio area to enjoy.
