Elm Cottage - a cottage that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms
As you enter the cottage, the hallway is light and well decorated and leads to the good sized kitchen and lounge. The lounge has a window and French doors overlooking the garden area (table and chairs are provided) making this a very light room. There are two leather settees, oak dining table & four chairs, TV, and CD player and plenty of lamps.
The kitchen is again a good light room and has plenty cupboard and worktop space. There is a fridge/freezer, gas cooker, washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave etc.
Upstairs there are two pretty bedrooms, one large twin room and a smaller double room. The twin room is very spacious and has two single beds (which can be made up as a super-king for an additional charge), wardrobe, drawers, and bed-side cabinets. The double room is cosy and has a double bed, wardrobe, drawers and coordinating bed linen and curtains.
The newly fitted bathroom has bath with shower over, w.c. and wash hand basin again a very light room.
The apartment is conveniently situated a stones throw from Booth's supermarket (which has an electric car charging point) and the E-Venture shop for easy bike hire.
Being only about 15 yards away from Quaver Cottage may prove ideal for two families wishing to holiday together but not wanting to be in the same house.

Great holiday
A lovely stay at this property in Keswick. It is very close to everything in Keswick but just far enough away to be very quiet. 5 minutes from supermarket, 10 minutes into the town. Elm Cottage has everything you need for a comfortable holiday let and very clean and tidy on arrival. Keswick Cottages staff are always available should you need to contact them, would definitely recommend a stay in this cottage .

Excellent property
A lovely clean property located in a very convenient spot for all Keswick has to offer, also a quiet spot.
We have stayed there for many years and the owner is continually updating the property. The staff at Keswick Cottages are always very helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Have already booked for a stay next year.

December holiday
Elm Cottage is in a perfect location in Keswick, just a couple of minutes walk and you’re right in the centre of town. The property has everything you need for your stay, and if you should be short of anything, the office is just a short walk away. We’ve stayed here before and would definitely stay again.

Fantastic short break in Keswick
Elm Cottage is a lovely 2 bedroom cottage in central Keswick. It is well equipped, warm, comfortable and has the added benefit of an allocated parking space. We've stayed there twice now and will definitely stay there again. Booked via Keswick Cottages who are our go to agent. Very professional and clear instructions on everything to do with the property.

Pleasant week
Cottage delivered what was promised being both comfortable and close to Keswick centre Although compact there was enough room for 2 adults and 2 large dogs and despite no fenced garden there was easy access to suitable night walking

Great cottage for a stay in Keswick
The cottage is very clean, well-equipped and spacious. It is very close to the centre of Keswick but very quiet at night. Booths supermarket, bus station, shops, cafes and pubs all within a couple of minutes walk. Ours was a last minute booking but confirmation and key collection details e-mailed within a few minutes.
We have stayed in many holiday cottages in Keswick over the years but Elm Cottage will be our first choice for future visits,

Warm and Comfortable
The house was perfect for a November break. It was warm, the furniture and beds were comfortable and it was well-eqipped. The bathroom looked recent and the shower worked well.
The outside space is very tight to the carpark so probably not a great place for sitting out.
It’s really hard to avoid dirtying the hall carpet in bad weather and I’d recommend some hard flooring.
The location is excellent. Booths supermarket is your corner shop and easy access to town and the lake.

Lovely property with a brilliant location.
The improvements to the bathroom are good, still the toilet is very high (step needed) for short people. Some paint work has been done, it makes whats not been done look very tired . Hopefully they will continue to update the decor and keep it to the nice standard it has been. The sofa needs a good clean and my one wish would be for the cleaners not to leave the hoover full .

Lovely cottage
Having stayed in Elm cottage although the cottage was clean and comfortable i would have liked to have been able to use the bath tub. However part of the surface of the bath was unslightly to look at. The stair landing smoke alarm cover was open with no battery in it and also the creaking floorboard outside the bathroom. People walking across the front garden was quite annoying.

Well maintained and centrally located property
Stayed at Elm Cottage a number of times as great location and well maintained. Thanks to the owners and Keswick Cottage’s for the hamper as we had to cancel our holiday earlier in the year due to illness. We will definitely visit again next year.

Pleasant stay
Our third stay at Elm Court and would definitely come back again. Perfect location to explore Keswick and surrounding area.
Only suggestion is probably needs a new vacuum cleaner.
