Step through the glass door here and walk out onto the garden to listen to the soothing sound of the river nearby. Climb the stairs to find two pretty bedrooms: a twin bedroom and a double bedroom, both with views over the garden. The family power shower room is decorated in a retro baroque style. The whole house has been tastefully decorated with colours accented by the soft furnishings. Keswick offers specialist shops, excellent restaurants, cafes and pubs, market days twice a week, a renowned theatre, well-loved cinema and much more. Walk from the centre of Keswick, through Hope Park to the shore of beautiful Derwentwater, have a bite to eat at the Theatre by the Lakes Café, then enjoy a scenic cruise. You will have a choice of many walking trails right from your doorstep, from low-level circular walks to more adventurous hikes up to glorious high peaks. Walk up to lovely Catbells, Skiddaw or Latrigg, known as Keswick’s own fell. So much to see and do with a stay at Little Hallgarth.

Great location, right next to the park and a short walk into town. Also has access to some lovely walks nearby. Would definitely stay again.

It was well equipped, clean and all guidelines for TV, air fryer, heating etc were easily accessible. The cottage is in a great position and Keswick is less than a very pleasant 10 minute walk away through Fitz park. Ideally an extra downstairs toilet would be ideal but other than that the cottage has everything you could need. Would definitely stay again.
