Being with my wife on our first visit to the lakes. The location was ideal close to the centre of town and close to the Derwent.

Stayed mid Aug 2026, great location right on outskirts of town. Own parking spot which was excellent. Easy access to all surrounding locations for walks with dog or travel. House was spotless and all amenities worked very well, even had a dishwasher. The only thing I would remark on is could do with some softer pillows and quilt downstairs bedroom as they could do with a freshen up. Would definitely stay there again though most enjoyable week. Mum and dog loved it happy mum happy life
Had a fantastic week, the location was perfect for my elderly mother. Would love to visit again
We chose this property because it's central and as we were working at the convention all week, gave us easy access to that, and nearby shops and restaurants. It had two bathrooms and bedrooms which was a requirement for the 4 of us 2 staff2 students and the kitchendiner set up meant we could eat together every night. There's a spacious lounge and attic room up the steps all giving us lots of space. We had the downstairs room which has a little garden and seating out the back with direct access to the town which leads to Market Square with the Cornish Bakery and its delicious croissants just across the street. A short walk away across the car park and you have the most amazing views across Derwent Water. This cottage has a car space which fitted my husband's Skoda Superb easily and WiFi is provided which was mostly reliable if that's a requirement.
We had a perfect stay. So central and clean. Everything you needed was available. The downstairs bathroom handheld shower didnt work. It didnt cause a problem but it would have been handy to use. We asked for a second key as it was restrictive having only one and the owner provided it immediately. The lounge tv isnt a smart tv but the bedrooms are but we couldnt get them to work as the main tv was on standby! So we didnt bother and used our laptop so again no great inconvenience. We would definitely stay here again.
We had the best time ever staying in this cottage. It was our second time staying here and we have already booked to go again. The cottage is immaculate and so clean. No expense has been spared. The shower is very luxurious and the best I have ever used. The kitchen is excellent and very well equipped with everything you could need and the oven is really good. Beds comfortable. Plenty of wardrobe space. Lovely comfortable lounge. Beautiful back garden. Fantastic location with everything on the doorstep. And added bonus having a parking space. I couldnt recommend this place enough. It is wonderful
The best accommodation we have stayed in! Very well designed and comfortable plus convenient location near Booths, buses and the Moot hall market. Despite the central location, we were not bothered by noise. We hope we can stay here again,
Ideally located in Keswick if you don't mind being in town centre. It was quieter than I expected.
Perfect place to spend a week in our favourite place , Keswick! The cottage is the best equipped holiday home we have ever stayed in , absolutely everything & more you need for a wonderful holiday , right in the middle of town , 2 minutes from bars, restaurants, supermarket and bus station , 5 minutes from the Lake and your very own parking space right outside the front door , loved sitting in the seat by the window watching the world going by ! Highly recommend a stay here.

Lovely accommodation in a central location with the added bonus of a car parking space. The property was spacious, spotless and had everything you could need if you wanted to eat in. The lounge was really nice to relax in too. We would book this property again next time we come to Keswick
Had a fantastic time at Agathi Cottage. In a prime position, close to the centre of Keswick 5 minute walk. Cottage was lovely and clean on arrival and had everything you could have wished for. Would love to stay here again in the future.
Morgan
Lovely cottage in a very central location. The place smelt amazing and was perfect for our needs
Spotless cottage in an amazing location. Big benefit having the parking space we didn't touch the car for the whole weekend, as so many great pubs and shops within walking distance and also great walking routes on your doorstep. If we visit Keswick again in the future, will definitely be rebooking!
Natalie
We loved it, very convenient for my elderly parents to get into town. Very clean and well decorated. A couple of things to help would be a bigger pan, trying to cook pasta for four was a struggle in the one provided, the lock on the downstairs bathroom didn't work and we were disappointed to not have any information on recycling everything had to go in the bin. Other than those few things it was great1 Thank you.
Great location. Comfy, firm beds. Everything you needed. Great to have a parking space.
Lovely home from home, the cleanest holiday home we've ever stopped in! Excellent central location with parking which is rare in Keswick.
Jeannette
We had an amazing experience at Agathi. The cottage is beautiful and well maintained. Lots of extras too fresh milk welcome tea, coffee ect. This is a large cottage located 2 minutes from the centre. Will be booking again
Frances
A lovely property in the centre of Keswick, it was very clean and we loved the Christmas decorations. There are plenty of place nearby to explore on foot and many more a short distance away by car.
This is our 2nd stay totally love the house the kitchen has everything you need utensil wise huge fridge and with Booths been walking distance easy do a shop it was excellent as we were there for the Christmas period We chose to sleep upstairs this time, and I must admit the bed was most comfortable. I used the ensuite and Hubby had the downstairs bathroom.
Maxine
This is a return visit to Agathi for us as we loved it so much the first time. It didn't disappoint this time. Perfectly located directly in the centre of Keswick with a parking space and just a few minutes walk to the lake. The house itself feels really cosy and welcoming and is very comfortable with downstairs bedroom and bathroom with second bedroom and living room upstairs with a lovely warming fire
Absolutely loved this place. Beautiful cottage in a perfect location in the heart of Keswick. Two good sized bedrooms, one with ensuite shower room as well as a bathroom and large living room. Additional sitting room upstairs which is a wonderful place just to sit and relax with a good book. Kitchen is perfect and well equipped with everything you could need. Plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants just a short walk away in Keswick as well as a Booths supermarket. We did several really good walks straight from the front door so didnt even have to drive though we chose to do so on some days because this is such a beautiful part of the country. A truly wonderful week and Keswick itself is a festive wonderland at this time of year.
Rachel
Another wonderful stay at Agatha despite the weather, which was not kind to us on this occasion! Clean as always with lots of much appreciated creature comforts. Felt like home from home. Make sure you pay a visit to Hot Tram Roll for a breakfast sarnie great food, reasonably priced and lovely bloke Mark

We have stayed in Keswick a number of times in the past few years in hotels and cottages We found this property to be perfectly located within a couple of minutes walk of all that this beautiful town has to offer The cottage was spacious plenty of room for 2 of us and a small dog, well equipped, warm and cosy The weather was cold and crisp but we managed to walk everyday to enjoy the stunning scenery around Derwentwater Had a fabulous birthday meal in steaks of the lakes highly recommended We would book again
Lovely cottage close to Keswick town centre. Added bonus of a parking space. Its a shame that its managed by Sykes, who we wont be using again.
Excellent location. Lovely cottage. Spotless and has everything you need.
It was the perfect place for our stay , local to the town , lake and mountains , very comfy and exactly as it looked in the photos. We will certainly be returning .
Beautiful cottage well placed for exploring the local district. Being able to park at the property was a bonus and being able to walk into Keswick in the evening to try out the many pubs. Plenty of choice for places to eat and a good variety of shops.
Patricia
The Agathi cottage is lovely,well situated for Keswick centre,but is noisy from about 7am,with delivery wagons unloading close too the cottage, plus different bin collection wagons most days,Biffa two or three times a week. Also noticeable is a fast food bacon sandwich kiosk close to the cottage, attracts noisy customers 7am onwards,and the smell of frying bacon wafts into the property especially the upstairs bedroom.
We absolutely loved this cottage and have already booked to go again next year. Perfect location and wonderful having a parking space. The property was extremely clean and the kitchen was very well equipped. The oven and hob are the best I have used in a holiday let. Very comfortable beds and plenty of storage for clothes ect. Nice outside space to sit. We had the pleasure of meeting the owners who are lovely and very helpful. Thank you for everything and can't wait to come again xx
Lovely spacious,clean,well equipped property, great location for town and lake. Only downside was the lorry deliveries and bin lorry collections early mornings mostly about 6.307am, which didn't go well for holiday winddown. I don't do early mornings.
Nicola
