Newlands Cottage
Description
Newlands Cottage rests within the peaceful and scenic Newlands Valley, close to Keswick, and provides a welcoming single‑storey retreat for couples, friends or families seeking a restful Lake District break. Surrounded by rolling fells and open countryside, it offers a calming base for those keen to enjoy both gentle rambles and more demanding outdoor pursuits.
Inside, the layout is thoughtfully arranged to suit a variety of guests. The sitting room offers a pleasant place to unwind after days spent exploring, featuring an electric fire and a Smart TV for relaxed evenings. The spacious kitchen/diner is equipped for preparing meals together, with ample room to sit, chat and plan the next day’s adventures. Large windows allow light to filter through the space, reinforcing the sense of openness and the connection to the surrounding landscape. There are two attractively arranged bedrooms, each benefitting from its own facilities for added privacy. The king-size room includes a TV and an en‑suite bathroom with a bath, while the twin room features a TV and an en‑suite walk‑in shower. This setup works well for families or friends travelling together, ensuring everyone has their own space at the end of the day. Outside, off‑road parking is available for two cars, and shared external bike storage makes the cottage appealing for cyclists. Dogs are also welcome, providing an easy base for countryside walks with four‑legged companions. Newlands Cottage offers a peaceful base in a beautiful valley, perfectly placed for discovering the lakes, fells and villages that make the Lake District so special.

What guests are saying
I loved this place and will definitely visit again, only issues we had were sofas being too low and squishy, I’d love to bring my Dad next year but he’d never get his bum up off those sofa’s!
Drawer unit in second room needs handles replacing (this would probably cost less that £20) and flooring near shower room needs replacing where there has been a leak. Yes you can hear every noise from upstairs neighbours but honestly I was so relaxed this didn’t bother me as much as it would normally.
The directions were not clear at all.
We found an entry on the IPhone map for the “actual location” as others must’ve struggled too. Cottage clean although in need of tlc. Many door handles missing, boiler door broken, huge fix to floor covered partially by a rug.
A lovely get away from it all cottage.
Walks from the door and spectacular views to come back too. Everything you need in the cottage both rooms with en-suite. A Spa pass was a really nice addition much appreciated. Overall a wonderful time. Just be aware there's accommodation above and can get some noise in the morning as they move around. Also found direction confusing so what three words from other guest helped or head for Birkrigg on OS maps its there. Things owner might like to consider or look at. I think a bench outside the door to sit and take the great view after a long walk would be a great addition. The chest of draws in twin room some new handles most draws only had one instead of two. The floor outside the loo in twin room screws a little proud if the mat moves. We were woken in the mornings by young children running around but we've been there a few years ago now, and that didn't spoil the experience.
