1 / 17Whiskey Cottage
Keswick, Cumbria
A stylish three storey Lakeland cottage for four, a short stroll from the centre of Keswick, with a gas fire, fell views from the top floor, an enclosed sunny rear yard and two dogs welcome.
Keswick is one of the most popular towns in the Lake District, and Whiskey Cottage puts its centre, its eateries, its market and its shops a short stroll away for you and your dog. Spacious and comfortable over three storeys, this stylish dog friendly Lakeland cottage takes four guests plus two dogs, and the edge of Derwentwater is only 1 mile off.
Step through the door into an inviting open plan lounge and diner, where a gas fire adds cosy warmth to plush seating and a Smart TV. Beside the lounge, the kitchen is efficiently designed with modern appliances. After a day on the fells, the dogs will be happy to stretch out by the fire while supper is made.
On the first floor is a generously sized twin room with a shower room, and the second floor is given over to the serene king size master, with fell views and its own en suite, so whoever has it enjoys a floor of their own. Outside, an enclosed, sunny rear yard is a secluded spot with outdoor furniture for eating outside or simply soaking up the Lakeland air while the dogs settle at your feet.
Cross the River Greta by its footbridge and you reach Fitz Park, a delightful place for a family outing with the dogs, and the town's theatre and cinema are a leisurely walk away. Derwentwater has lakeside strolls, boat hire and cruises among the fells and woodland, and the Wainwrights close by include Latrigg, Catbells and Skiddaw, with riding trails in Whinlatter Forest beyond.

Book with holidaycottages.co.ukFrequently Asked Questions
Is Whiskey Cottage dog friendly?
Yes, Whiskey Cottage welcomes up to two dogs. It's a three storey Lakeland cottage right in the heart of Keswick, with an enclosed yard that catches the sun — a real bonus for a town-centre property — and a gas fire that a wet dog will find in no time.
Are dogs allowed at Whiskey Cottage year round?
The listing doesn't specify seasonal restrictions, so it's worth contacting the owner directly to confirm availability for your dates. What we can say is that the cottage is well set up for dogs in all weathers, with a warm gas fire and easy access to walks whatever the season.
What should I know before visiting Whiskey Cottage with my dog?
The staircase is steep in the way old Lakeland cottages tend to be, so smaller dogs may need a hand getting to the upper floors — larger ones may simply decide the sofa suits them fine. The enclosed yard is a handy spot to sort boots and gear after a walk, and Fitz Park is just five minutes away over the footbridge for a last stretch of the day.
