Fairbank

A lovely cottage with every thing you need. Love Keswick and the location of this cottage was ideal. Only downside was the parking, not always a space in the nearest car park but we managed to park on the side road. Bath was not the easiest to get in and out of , could do with having a separate shower. Otherwise ideal especially being so close to the park for the dog to walk in and not far from the bus stops.

Lovely cottage in great location.

Situated right next to Fitz park ( with access via a bridge) and a 5/10 min stroll to Keswick town centre makes the location ideal nearby car parking is provided. The small front and rear gardens allowed us to make the most of the sunshine whilst there and the accommodation was spot on. A well equipped kitchen and dining area. A good sized lounge downstairs and 2 good sized bedrooms upstairs and spacious bathroom. In the lounge was a cupboard with games,dvds,CDs and books. The whole property is freshly decorated, modern and very comfortable.

Fairbank review

Great little cottage, good location, perfect for dog owners, it’s a two bed cottage but a bit small for 4 adults, better for a small family, lovely and cosy well equipped everything you need, looks out over Fitz park with access from the front of the cottage, no parking but a permit is issued for Otley Rd car park which is only round the corner you can also use it in the long stay and lakeside car parks, very handy when busy. A perfect little cottage.

fantastic

This was our third stay at Fairbank. Yet again it didn't disappoint. The cottage is very welcoming, warm and provides a well stocked kitchen if you choose to cook. With the added bonus of the dishwasher. I cannot think of any negatives and would definitely recommend Fairbank to anyone who wishes to visit the Lake District. Ideal location for walking, car used once during our stay, as the bus didn't go to Buttermere. A parking permit is provided with the car being parked about a minute away for the cottage. Also thank you to Keswick Cottages as booking through them is so easy and communication prior to arrival excellent. Hopefully we will be back at Fairbank for a fourth time fairly soon

Great location for a stay in Keswick

This cottage is in a really good situation for a Keswick based stay in the Lake District. The parking permit at the nearby long stay car park works very well, quite frankly you could easily spend a week there without using your car at all. The cottage itself is on the small side, suitable for two adults and two children perhaps, four adults staying at the same time might be a bit challenging. The stairs are steep and narrow with a very tight turn at the top of the stairs. Hand rail support is really well worked out, nevertheless less mobile people might struggle with it. The cottage was clean and tidy on arrival and the kitchen was well equipped. The beds are comfortable though small, mainly because the bedrooms themselves are quite small. Having said all of this, we were a party of two adults and the size and proportions of the property was absolutely fine. The door handle on the inside of the bathroom door was loose - splitting hairs now, as the property has been maintained very well.

All we needed!

We had everything we needed, it was clean, comfortable and spacious for three of us! It was an ideal location and the garden in the back was beautiful when the sun hit it. Thanks for a great stay!

perfect location

Our second stay in this cottage. nice and clean, plenty of space and a good layout. Decent size front and rear garden for sitting out. perfect location for the park opposite , parking and shopping just around the corner. A nice quiet area away from traffic . ideal for dog walks straight into the park. The use of the long stay car parks in Keswick is ideal. Will hopefully be booking again for next year and would recommend to anyone.

Superb location

Cottage was pretty clean and reasonably well equipped but lacked a little in the comfort stakes. The sofa was small and the cottage needs more comfortable seating.

A Very Comfortable Cottage

We have stayed at other cottages with Keswick Cottages, so we knew that the Fairbank would be just as comfortable as the previous cottages , we have stayed at. The Fairbank is a lovely cottage, decorated very tastefully inside. You walk through the front door straight into the kitchen area. Which is excellent and there is an area to leave muddy boots before entering the rest of the cottage. The beds are very comfy for a good nights sleep, and a recliner chair was excellent for relaxing in after a long day on the fells. The cottage looks out on a park area which is ideal for walking our dog morning and evening, and the Skiddaw range. Also the position is excellent for accessing the centre of Keswick and the Amenities.

Weekend get away

Fantastic property that was ideal for our needs. Very quiet location but only 2 mins from the town centre and long stay car park. Staff at Keswick cottages were friendly and easy to deal with. Definitely use them again and stay at this property.

Another great stay in Keswick

We had a great week at Fairbank. The cottage was in the perfect location for enjoying everything Keswick has to offer. We enjoyed being next to Fitz Park for early morning dog walks and the view from the main bedroom was stunning. Bedrooms were really nice with very comfortable beds and the kitchen was well equipped. Would have preferred a more comfortable sofa as it was quite small. Had a few problems getting parked in the long stay car parks as Keswick was very busy when we stayed. That said we would happily stay at Fairbank again. We had great service from Keswick Cottages and will definitely be looking to book with them again next year.

Lovely cottage ideally located

This was our 3 visit to this cottage. Nicely situated right on top of Fitzroy park and a 5 minute stroll into Keswick town centre. Kitchen is well stocked for anyone wanting to cook. We didn’t experience any problems with the WiFi. No parking with this property, however a permit is issued for the long stay car parks . Would definitely recommend to friends.

Fairbank Cottage

We chose the property principally because of the location. Close to central Keswick and with easy access to Fitz Park which is a popular dog friendly park. The cottage itself exceeded our expectations. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. Cannot identify any equipment that was not there. We are planning to visit again in 2025.

A lovely clean and welcoming cottage in a fantastic location, with car parking just a stroll away. Great to have a front and rear garden to sit out and enjoy the views of the park. Everything you needed was in the cottage, so we are looking forward to another stay. Would recommend 100 %

Fairbank cottage

Beautiful cottage with small front and back garden, it was very clean and had all the facilities you need. The view over Fitz park from the Kitchen was very nice. Could not fault the cottage. Left the car in Otley road car park all week which was 2 minute walk after unloading our luggage outside the cottage itself, and you could be in the town center in less than 10 minutes walking. Found the bed was very comfortable. There is games and even jigsaws to do for entertainment. My grandson loved walking in Fitz park every morning taking our Golden retriever for a short walk before starting the day. There was no traffic noise only the sound of the river Greta making it very peaceful. I would not hesitate in booking the cottage again. My only regret is that we had to come home...

5 * accomodation

Cottage was very welcoming, felt like a home. Kitchen was well equipped. Bedrooms very comfortable, we slept well Location was superb, just a stones throw from the park and easy walk into town. Minor issue with heating which was sorted very promptly. Would most definitely stay at this property again.
