Keswick Staycations

What makes Keswick such a popular place to stay?

Keswick has long been a popular destination for exploring Cumbria and the Lake District National Park. Known as the Adventure Capital of the Lake District, it is the perfect location for outdoor adventurers and those seeking beautiful scenery and relaxation. The shores of Derwentwater and Ullswater are nearby for exploring the area by canoe and rowboat or choose to admire the view from nearby fells Walla Crag and High Spy.

For a change of pace, visit the Derwent Pencil Museum - home to 500 years of history of pencil manufacture in the UK as well as one of the largest colour pencils in the world measuring almost 8 metres! Whilst there is lots to see and do in Keswick itself, it also makes a great base from which to visit nearby towns and villages such as

• Cockermouth
• Braithwaite
• Penrith
• Buttermere
• Coniston
• Windermere
• Kendal

Cottage Holidays are able to provide a range of accommodation throughout the county to suit all tastes, party sizes and budgets. From quaint stone cottages in traditional bustling towns and villages to smart and modern converted buildings in the tranquil countryside, we really have it all.
