The cottage had an enclosed garden which was great for our dog. There was also plenty of parking available and the cottage was well situated for exploring Keswick and the surrounding area.

A fantastic stay in a great location! The cottage was well-equipped, clean, comfortable, and had everything we could need. A great location outside of the busier areas, but close enough for a quick drive into Keswick - or a long walk! Lovely and quiet in the evenings, with plenty of lanes and quiet road for taking the dog out early in the morning!

My dog and I had a great time! Elm is a comfortable and suitably appointed cottage and the refurbishment makes it even better. It affords a lovely view to the mountains and a sheltered terrace which is great for relaxing in the mornings with a coffee and paper. The location could not be better, with a beautiful walk by the wood down to Braithwaite Read moreand proximity to Keswick, the Borrowdale Valley and some of the less busy lakes such as Loweswater! Excellent value too! Thanks! Hide
