Keswick is one of the Lake District's most popular destinations. This friendly town hosts the very popular twice weekly market that has recently won the coveted “Best Outdoor Market” in the Great British Market Awards. The village also offers a fantastic array of shops offering everything from craft bakeries and local produce, antiques, crafts and much, much more.

If you are looking for somewhere to eat and drink, a week just won't be long enough to sample the great range of pubs, restaurants, bistros, cafes and wine bars! For a great evening out why not visit the 100 year old Alhambra offering first class cinema entertainment in traditional surroundings or enjoy an evening at “the most beautiful and friendly theatre in Britain”, the 400 seat Theatre By The Lake on the shores of Derwentwater.

Enjoy a cruise on Derwentwater, walk onto the fells; Cat Bells, Skiddaw, Coledale Horeshoe and Blencathra are all nearby, head underground at Honister Slate Mines, enjoy mountain biking in Whinlatter Forest.

For day trips throughout the Lake District, Ullswater is a short drive away offering lake cruises, great walking and the beautiful Aira Force Waterfall, Buttermere and Crummock Water offer sublime scenery. Ashness Bridge and Surprise View situated above the Borrowdale Valley should not be missed and perhaps even a cup of tea and homemade cake in the unspoilt village of Watendlath.

Our second visit to Pippin Cottage We love the location!

Spent more time in the cottage due to one of the party having a broken foot, and found it comfortable and nice to relax in. Love the proximity to Fitz Park. Kitchen well equipped (although does need salt and pepper in the mills!) Beds comfy, shower is fab. Few minor things need attention but didn’t spoil our holiday. We’ll be back!

We are already planning on a stay here next year, a few small points need some attention but I’m sure the owners already know that.

Location is excellent, and most of the property is built to high standards.

A few points to note: - It's more suited to vacationers than walkers in my view. The property lacks an entryway suitable for shoes and gears after walks, and it's tricky to manage if you are out hiking all day. - Some furniture and housewares need a little TLC. Pans need to be replaced in my view. An armchair had a broken leg. Just minor but a few of them (we also came at the end of the summer season). - The complete absence of salt and pepper (the mills were empty, and nothing else to be found) was a real let down (especially as you are mid-way in prepping dinner). This was a full star off the rating. - Owners need to relay to cleaning team to check everything: the oven pans stored in one of the cupboards were left greasy.
