Isabel cottage is in an ideal location right in the centre of Keswick. The cottage was very clean on arrival. The whole cottage is of a high standard for a holiday rental with the kitchen containing all you need.

The bedroom is very comfortable and the super-king bed great. The shower room again was a very high standard.

The cottage was lovely and warm and the log burner was enjoyed on an evening.

The only small negatives were the sofa is not very comfortable and we thought the sitting room could be improved with 2 comfy armchairs instead.

As other reviewers have mentioned the alleyway to the car parking space is very narrow, with a couple of doorsteps sticking out into it. It was easier to negotiate with the passenger getting out the car giving directions.

Overall we really enjoyed our stay with 2 adults and a dog. We will definitely try and book it again if returning to Keswick.

Perfect location for what we wanted. The cottage was very comfortable with a decent spec. We wanted to ark up and just explore the Keswick surroundings. Two small gripes: the alleyway leading in the courtyard was horrendous, we got in ok but really struggled to get back out. I'd advise to park elsewhere. Also the cooker wasn't easy to work. However once we realised it was still in showroom mode, it wasn't too bad. The staff came out to help,very promptly but we sorted ourselves.

Thank you so much for your 5-star review of Isabel Cottage! We are so happy you found the location in central Keswick perfect for what you wanted. In our description and other reviews it is stated that the alley-way is narrow. We have placed instructions for the oven in the cottage and have added to our files what to do if this happens again. Thank you for your kind comments about our team coming round to help amend the issue but we're glad you managed to sort it yourself. We hope you had a wonderful time exploring Keswick and we hope to welcome you again! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

lovely cottage, very well equipped, warm and super clean. No problems parking, we have a Polo, but the street down to the cottage is narrow. Only downside was a bit of noise from the local pub on Friday evening. Would love to stay here again.

Really enjoyed our weeks stay at Isobel cottage.
Fitted out to a high standard in a great location.
Too many Pros to mention, only slight Con was the Wi-Fi dipping in and out but really not an issue for us.
Please take note of earlier reviews about the narrow lane to the cottage, just managed to get my MG ZS in and left it there all week. Still don’t know how I managed to get it out without scraping it.
Also when leaving the lane there’s no left turn as it’s a one way street.
We’ll be back!

This is a lovely/cosy cottage in a great central location.
Getting to the car parking space is quite tight down a narrow lane but achievable
We had an issue with the kettle leaking, but this was resolved immediately after a quick phone call to Keswick cottages.

Great location for exploring Keswick and the lovely restaurants and bars. Excellent to have a parking space. The description is very clear and helpful and the route to get in is definitely tight. We have a Skoda Yeti and we just managed but anything bigger might struggle. Very well equipped and very lovely comfortable bed and great shower.

A lovely well presented and well equipped cottage. Well appointed kitchen and beautiful bedroom and en-suite. Cosy, clean and comfortable. Close to everything we needed for another wonderful stay in Keswick. My only very slight criticism would be that the sofa isn’t the most comfortable (especially when you come back from a long walk/hike), a footstool may help with providing some extra comfort rather than changing the sofa. Thanks for a wonderful stay, we would definitely return to Isabel Cottage.



Sophie - Keswick Cottages replied 332 days ago
Hello Rachel, Thank you so much for your review and feedback regarding the sofa. We are always looking for ways to improve the comfort within the cottages and will certainly pass this feedback onto the owner for you. We hope it is not too long until your next stay with us.

Annual meet up with friends in Keswick. Great central location in Banks Place. Narrow alley way to cottage and parking but clear on booking site and we had a small car so no problem. Easy details re entry. Accommodation lovely. Large kitchen diner sitting room downstairs with big en-suite bedroom upstairs. Stayed in similar cottage layout before and advantage here was en-suite bathroom . Saved going out onto narrow landing at top of steep stairs to access bathroom. Very comfy bed, great walk in shower. No toiletries unfortunately otherwise worked well. Everything you needed in kitchen. Coffee machine but no pods to start you off till you got to supermarket but again not a huge problem.
The cottage was wonderfully central which was a huge asset. Will hopefully stay there again next year when we know dates of the meet up!

Hello Audrey, Thank you so much for your review, we are so glad that you had such an enjoyable stay at Isabel Cottage. When you do have some dates in mind, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Booked the cottage as we had previously stayed before and was aware that the location is great
Good comes with Keswick cottages as we had to report an issue with the TV that they were unaware off
The cottage is just big enough for two, great bed and shower
All in all very happy

If says there is parking, there isn't anything specifically allocated to you so nothing to prevent it discourage others from using it. The narrow alley is a nightmare to drive down.

There is bar across from you which plays loud music into the night. We managed to block out most of it with a white noise machine but you could still hear the bass over it. There are slat blinds in the bedroom which don't block all the light so will wake you, and I imagine would be particularly bad in the summer.

Sofa is uncomfortable and like something you'd find in a waiting room, making relaxing downstairs difficult.

We were very happy with the place. Could have provided some small toiletries as we would have thought there would have been some provided so didn't bring any.
Great location although the lane is a little off putting to drive down.
Very clean and tidy and had obviously just been refurbished because it looked great!!
Everything we could have needed if we stopped longer.
Could definitely do with some black out curtains.. the bedroom was lit up all night because of the bar across and coming into lighter mornings that could affect sleep.
Great stay would defo stop again

Lovely property, ideally located for the centre of Keswick. Parking can be tight with a bigger car. The sofa lets the property down as it was not comfortable, but everything else was lovely! Thanks for a great stay!

The cottage was lovely and cosy, everything you would need for a holiday and very central to the town.
The only downside is the parking at the property, you have to drive down a narrow alley and if you have a large car it is very tight, as I found out, damaging the side of my car to the tune of £1,500.
Because of the parking we would not return.




Sophie - Keswick Cottages replied 335 days ago
Hello Richard, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Isabel Cottage. We are sorry that you had an accident in your car here, we do offer an alternative of a parking permit for the local car parks if you do not wish to park at the property.

Isabel cottage us ideally located and immaculate inside. Only slight criticism is the two seater settee is not very comfortable on an evening.
Entrance to and from the cottage will challenge your driving skills as very narrow alleyway to the property. Advise you to ensure you turn and park facing the alley to make leaving much easier.
Fantastic location for town and local pubs. Close to the lake for a great walk and breathtaking views of the hills. Everything you need is supplied.
Great stay overall and will book again.

A delightful little cottage that is well placed in Keswick..The only downfall is the very narrow alley you have to drive down to get to cottage, unless you have a small car I would recommend getting a parking permit. Aside from this we had a lovely stay at Isabel Cottage.

Hello Helen, Thank you for taking the time to review Isabel Cottage. It is great that you have had such a great stay here, for anyone who does not wish to use the parking space we can offer a parking permit for a local car park. Which is only a few minutes walk away.

Isabel Cottage is a beautifully appointed 1 bed cottage located on a small no-through road a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Keswick. The cottage has everything you need to enjoy a short break away and its proximity to shops and restaurants is ideal....right in the centre of things but tucked away in a small courtyard area so very quiet at night. The staff at Keswick cottages were very helpful, dealing with any enquiries I had straight away. I would highly recommend this property to anyone and hope to stay there again soon.

This is a lovely little cottage, right in the very centre of town. Ideal spot for people watching and not too noisy given its central location. The lane to the cottage is very narrow and I didn't risk it with my Qashqai, however alternative parking was given. The cottage is well equipped and spacious and very close to everything.

The cottage was tidy and comfortable with the exception of the sofa. I would rate the stay 5 for location but cottage itsself 3/4 as we could only log onto the Samsung tablet until the second day which enabled us to check in and have a quick look at what's to do in the area then it didn't work again. Also both TVs downstairs and up did not work, screen just distorted maybe due to signal, satellite looked like wasn't properly connected.
Staff were lovely very helpful and friendly, would still recommend.

Hello Julie, Thank you for your review on Isabel Cottage. We are so sorry that the tablet did not work for the duration of your stay and there was an issue with the TVs this is certainly not the impression we want you to have when staying with us, on any occasions such as these we are more than happy to pop to the cottage to resolve these for you. We hope that it is not too long until your next stay with us.

Isabel Cottage has everything you will need for a stay in Keswick. It is right in the heart of the town. The lane to access the property is quite narrow but this is all explained in the information. The owners have thought of everything right down to a little pack with teatowels scourer etc. We ate out all the time but you will want for nothing if you prefer to cook for yourself. The whole house is a little dream home away from home from an extra large comfy bed to a great walk in shower. Just book it, you will not be disappointed
