A handy utility can be found off the kitchen and provides room to store and dry walking equipment as well as a washing machine/dryer.

It also has a separate door to the garden which provides access when wearing muddy boots or for dogs with muddy paws.

At the left of the front door, you will find a cosy sitting room with Smart TV and Netflix along with a woodburning stove set in a striking inglenook fireplace, offers a warm spot to unwind after a day of exploring the beautiful surrounding countryside.

A convenient cloakroom with a WC and basin completes the ground floor layout.

Upstairs, you will find two well-presented bedrooms, 1 x super king size bed and 1 x king size and ample storage.

The first bedroom benefits from a dressing room with a vanity unit, providing a light and airy space to prepare for the day.

This room also enjoys the fells and includes an en-suite shower, basin and WC.

The second bedroom is equally as inviting, offering a serene space to rest.

The property also features a modern bathroom with a bath, shower over, basin, shaver socket and WC, so why not un-lace your hiking books and indulge in a bubbly soak or an invigorating shower to wash the day away?

Outside, the rear garden with a patio and furniture provides a tranquil spot to enjoy a morning coffee or an evening drink, whilst taking in the tranquil surroundings.

Venture out to gleefully discover Keswick's charming attractions; starting with the ancient and mystical Castlerigg Stone Circle.

Find serenity in Hope Park's well-tended gardens, and feel your curiosity awakened at Puzzling Place with its array of optical illusion exhibits.

Meander to the serene Friars Crag for a moment of calm and continue to tread to the quaint Ashness Bridge, a lovely point from which to view the surrounding Lakeland countryside.

Feed your adventurous side at the Keswick Climbing Wall and Rookery Woods Adventure Park where all ages can get their adrenaline fix.

Enjoy the brisk walk over to Crow Park and gaze over the picturesque views of Derwentwater, or challenge yourself with an invigorating day of canoeing and bushcraft activities with Keswick Canoe & Bushcraft.

A quiet cottage & off street parking a huge benefit with access to town centre & local parks minutes away.

Spacious kitchen diner and the large utility room a great asset for all our walking stuff & dog accommodated too. Bedrooms very comfortable. Definitely a rental in Keswick to return to. Thank you Rob & Jude.

This is a lovely, old cottage conveniently situated in the centre of Keswick, yet in a very quiet street.

It has been beautifully refurbished within the past two years, is comfortably furnished and well equipped. My friend and I were initially attracted to this property by the fact that there are two bathrooms, one being an en-suite shower room. The private off-street parking and front garden with a wooden seat as well as a 'picnic' table added to the comfort of this cottage, and we were able to sit outside in the September sun. The only difficulty we found was that the heating is set to come on at 7 a.m. and the expanding pipes often banged for a while at that time! Overall, a really lovely cottage where we enjoyed a varied week.

Holborn Cottage is an immaculate cottage that has been lovingly updated by its owners.

It was immaculately clean and there was a welcome pack of goodies and a handwritten note welcoming us on arrival. The spacious utility room was great for storing muddy boots and coats. The kitchen was well equipped and comfortable and instructions for all the appliances were easy to follow. Car charging was straightforward and the bonus of having 2 parking spaces in the private driveway so close to the town centre was extremely convenient.
