James’s Cottage

Families and groups of up to six will find James's Cottage a practical base for exploring the Lake District. The three bedrooms—one with a double bed, two with single bunks—sit upstairs alongside a bathroom with bath and shower. Downstairs, an open-plan living and dining space flows into a fully fitted kitchen, with a separate shower room tucked to the side. A cot and highchair are available if needed, and one dog is welcome to stay.

The cottage occupies Keswick's main street, 400 yards from the town's shops, pubs and restaurants. A rear courtyard with picnic table and chairs opens onto a shared drying green; there's a bike store and parking for one car. Wifi and heating are included, along with bed linen and towels. The kitchen has a full range of appliances—oven, hob, dishwasher, fridge and washer-dryer—so you can cook or keep things simple. A pub sits within a mile's walk, and fell views reach the bedrooms. No smoking inside.
