Spotless, comfortable, really well maintained bungalow, in a quiet location. With parking as a bonus & the garden is as well maintained the inside.

Blencathra is in the perfect location. Within easy walking distance from Keswick yet very quiet and with great views of the mountains.
The bungalow was very clean, warm and comfortable with excellent facilities. The conservatory is a real bonus even in Winter.
The only slight criticism I would have is that one or two hooks would have been useful and better labelling of the keys, but that’s very minor and would definitely not prevent us from booking again.

A clean and welcoming house in a quiet cul-de-sac. It has a particularly nice conservatory with fell-top views, and a decent sized garden, but as we stayed here in the winter we (sadly) weren't able to make use of this. It's slightly further out from the town centre than properties we've stayed at before (about a 7-10 minute walk), but this has some advantages, too. We'll definitely look to book this property again the next time we stay in Keswick.

This is our second stay here and we’re again very happy. Only issue was when the kettle broke but it was replaced within an hour of reporting it. Definitely using Keswick Cottages again. (Less rain next time please)

We very much enjoyed our stay at Blencartha. Would say that for 2 adults it was fine but 4 adults might find it a bit of a squeeze especially eating in the kitchen. The location was very good with The Pheasant Pub within easy walking distance and the food served was good with large portions. The conservatory was a big plus. Yes, we would stay again.

Blencathra is a home from home. Everything is provided, even when it rains most of the week! Superb location. Close to fells and town with main roads not too far off.
Comfortable beds, which is essential after a day on the fells.
We haven't found anywhere better.

Blencathra is a lovely bungalow, it has all the facilities one needs for a holiday. It is lovely and clean with a nice conservatory to sit in and a lovely garden with great views of the hills. We cannot wait to have another holiday there in the not to distant future. It is a credit to the owner. Thank you!

Blencathra is a lovely, comfortable,well-equipped base for a break in beautiful Keswick. There are almost 360 degree views of the surrounding fells, with several good walks on the doorstep (Latrigg, Keswick to Threlkeld trail to name but two).
The bungalow is spotlessly clean and is equipped to a high standard with everything you need to make it a home from home. The brand new bathroom is excellent. Having never really stayed at Blencathra in the warmer months we haven’t had as much use of the lovely conservatory as we would like, but it is a very pleasant and welcome addition. Marion, the owner, is a lovely lady who is keen to make sure her guests are comfortable.
The gardens are very large and well kept, look out for the wildlife - several species of birds including pheasants, woodpeckers and siskins, lots of rabbits, and once we even saw a red squirrel!
Keswick Cottages are a fantastic local business who really know how to look after their customers. We would not hesitate to recommend them - nothing is too much trouble, and they are very helpful and extremely friendly! We have stayed in several Keswick Cottages properties, every one of them excellent but Blencathra is definitely our favourite and we hope to return as soon as we can.

A nicely presented property with great views (although almost anywhere in Keswick has great views). Well fitted out with everything we needed. Would have been ‘cosy’ if our two adult children had visited but fine for a family with school age children. We’ll be back to Keswick next year.

This was our second stay at Blencathra. The property is small but very comfortable and well-equipped. Perfectly situated for a walk up Latrigg and an easy 10 minute stroll into Keswick town centre. It's situated in a quiet cul-de-sac with friendly neighbours. There are also numerous rabbits! We would definitely recommend and hope to book again in the future.

The cottage is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location in the town is very peaceful and convenient, being just a short walk or drive into the centre of Keswick. The cottage made an excellent base for a relaxing holiday in the Lake District, which is just what we were looking for.

Our annual holiday in Blencathra.
There have been some great upgrades in a Smart TV, Mattress topper in bedroom and wonderful new outside furniture.
So peaceful, yet handy for the fells, lake and town.

Blencathra is a lovely property , ideal for exploring the Lakes . Hence this was the second time we have stayed there and hopefully we will be back again .
Blencathra was very clean and tidy and well equipped. It has the addition of a really nice conservatory leading onto the well maintained garden with lovely views of the hills beyond
There are two easy walks into Keswick so it is very close to the centre but in a quiet location .
Thoroughly recommended




Lovely property with great views in a quiet location.

A lovely property within a short walk into keswick centre but far enough away to enjoy peace and quiet. Personally the bed was not as comfortable as our own but you can't cater for everyone. We often enjoyed sitting in the conservatory and seeing the fabulous views. There are some friendly pheasants who come into the garden from time to time. The shower was strong and a fab temperature. A short walk to the pheasant pub, Latrigg and other fells. The kitchen has everything you could need. A hairdryer is also provided in the bedroom.
To make the property even better some coat hooks in the small cupboard or a coat stand would be useful.

A great house, with amazing views and the conservatory is a great place to spend a sunny or a rainy day. We really enjoyed the location - close to all the shops and amenities in Keswick as well as easy access to hills (Latrigg and Skiddaw)
