Stayed May 16, 2026Fantastic quaint cottage in a great position being only a short walk to the town centre. Lovely sitting room with a big dining table, big modern TV and good wifi and a small but well appointed kitchen with all mod cons including an air fryer. Also there is a nice outside courtyard space. Two large bedrooms, one ensuite (shower) and another larger bathroom with a bath and shower next to bedroom 2. Two parking spaces big enough for any size car are situated a very short walk away (entrance on the right to the business centre just past the cottage if travelling from Crosthwaite Road (A5271) going towards the town centre). Porch Cottage has everything you need for your stay and and I can 't recommend highly enough. Owners were very responsive and easily contactable if any issues. Only thing to bear in mind is that downstairs has underfloor heating that is set, so if too warm best call Steven (number in handbook) and he will sort out (lives over the road). We had a great stay and would not hesitate in coming back to Porch Cottage in the future.

Stayed Jun 15, 2024Beautifully maintained 17th century cottage. No expense spared with the decor, furnishings, bed linens or kitchen equipment. Look out for low doorways, part ot the charm of a lovely old cottage. Lovely spa bath area outside . Friendly, helpful communication with the owner. Easy walking distance to Keswick shops, pubs and restaurants. Fantastic views front and back

Stayed Apr 8, 2023We came from Canada, and everything about our stay was lovely. Location, cleanliness, amenities…everything. Would stay there again in a heartbeat. Ian (next door neighbour and manager) was absolutely lovey and very helpful.

Stayed Jun 4, 2022This is a 17thC property with a lot of character, which comes at the price of a sore head if you are over 5'-10 tall! It is also pretty gloomy and stuffy, with little natural light and ventilation. Bizarrely, they are converting the very small courtyard into another bathroom using a conservatory-type room. There is already and bathroom and en-suite. Not only does this remove the only outdoor space, but it is likely to be pretty warm. It is within easy walking distance of the town with its restaurants, shops and pubs. It also has quick access to the Cumbria Way if you are a walker. The downside is that it's on a noisy main road into town and the bedrooms are on the road side of the house. The finishings, equipment, customer service and cleanliness are all first class. There are also two spaces for cars a very short walk away, which is vital in a town setting. Overall, we had a good week, but the downsides are such that we won't be returning.
