"Property was very comfortable."
Heating worked well, as did the shower. Lodge is in a very convenient place for Keswick. Very quiet, with nice quiet neighbours (sheep and cows). The tea/coffee tray was a very welcome. The plum bread was very nice. Just a nice touch, as were the toiletries in the bath room.

"We really enjoyed our stay in derwent cottage."
It was so clean, comfortable, and luxurious. The beds/pillows and bedding were so comfortable especially the pillows. Everything you could possibly need was in the cottage for a perfect self catering holiday. It was very peaceful even though we were right by the busy road as you couldn’t really hear any traffic from inside . The location was very tranquil a bit of a walk into town. the nearest pub the pheasant inn is a two minute walk and the food is absolutely amazing! Would highly recommend! Some lovely walks from the cottage. We had a lovely comfortable stay. Only negative was when it rained at night it seemed to keep us awake a bit with it bouncing of the roof/ and decking.

Lovely lodge, extremely well equipped and clean, nice quiet site and loved the views, only problem was not with the lodge but the price, we paid £1800 for 7 nights but when checked prices for next year it is around £990 for 7 nights and £1900 for 14 nights we don’t understand the price difference, was there a mistake or some other reason, I have sent messages but as yet no explanation

"A wonderful place to stay ."
Derwent lodge was immaculate and comfortable, with absolutely everything needed for a perfect holiday. It’s situated in a great place for walking into Keswick (through beautiful Fitz Park) where there are cafes , restaurants, shops and of course , the Lake . The lodge has secure decking ( great for dogs ) with patio furniture and a lovely private garden. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a quiet , peaceful holiday with plenty going on within a short drive ( or walk ) .

"We’ve had a lovely time at Derwent , was like home from home!"
Everything spotlessly clean & all you need there. On arrival there was Plum loaf, milk in the fridge and Marie arrived with jam for us and big bag of crisps which went down nicely!!

"Only issue I had was description of garden being enclosed, this was one of the reason to book this accommodation as I have 2 small dogs, I expected to be able to let them roam freely around the garden but couldn’t as not fully enclosed ."
Apart from this I would recommend to anyone .

"Absolutely loved my stay here at Derwent lodge."
Lots of storage, comfortable beds, clean and a well equipped kitchen. The lodge is so close to wonderful walks and a fantastic pub, which I’d highly recommend but book as it gets busy - The pheasant inn. A walk quick walk through Fitz park takes you to the centre of Keswick. My only criticism is I booked the week were road works at night were happening, on the roundabout but other than that, the noise from the traffic wasn’t an issue. I left music on at night to drown out the noise and this seemed to work. A lovely lady who stays at the lodges two times a year assured me this was unfortunate and never normally happens. Roadworks can’t be helped and it didn’t ruin our trip, as previously mentioned the lodge is great.

"Welcoming, clean, cosy lodge."
Cake on arrival (thank you) Excellent location for easy 5 minute walk into Keswick town centre. Wonderful views of Skidaw. Plenty of room for the car. Comfortable beds, slept like logs. Definitely booking this lodge again !!!!!!

"We really enjoyed our stay at Derwent Lodge, it was spotlessly clean."
The sofas and beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. It was a lovely touch to find a pint of milk, plum loaf and pot of jam awaiting us on arrival. Heating was good and the shower poweful snd hot. For the rainy evenings it was useful to have a smart tv and wifi with streaming availability. Although the Lodge is very near a main road the slight noise of traffic did not detract from the lovely views and it was great to be in such short walking distance from Keswick. We would definitely stay here again. My only constructive criticism would be that there is no recycling bins on the site, which was a shame.

"We are a family of four - 2 adults 2 kids."
This is an immaculately clean and extremely well equipped lodge. The beds and linen were so clean and comfortable. We use caravan / lodges a lot around the country and always take some of our own kitchen stuff (because we normally find things aren’t good enough to cook with and lack of condiments etc ). We needn’t have bothered as it was all provided and of a high standard. To sum up , immaculately clean, very comfortable, very well equipped and superbly located within short walk to Keswick (also excellent decking area which we didn’t use due to weather /time of year). Highly recommended.

"Had a lovely holiday at Derwent Lodge."
We don't normally stay in these facilities as we have a touring caravan, everything was just perfect we felt at home as soon as we walked through the door. Location was perfect with amazing views we actually saw a spotted woodpecker in the garden, there are plenty of walks in the area and so close to Keswick Town centre. The lodge was immaculately clean white linen and towels says it all. Definitely returning next year.

"A fantastic lodge in a great location."
Very comfortable beds and well equipped. We will be back. Plus we got to see a red squirrel in the garden!
-
"Derwent Lodge was just right for what we were looking for with great facilities and lovely welcome gift."
Garden was great for watching the wildlife and we even managed to sit out on the decking in October. Close to Keswick centre and easy to walk to. Keswick is very dog friendly which made such a change for us. Would definitely recommend and hope to have another stay in the future.

"25th September, 2023 We have just returned from a short holiday at Derwent Lodge."
We were delighted with the very high standard of furnishings, cleanliness, comfort and the great attention to detail from the sustantial welcome tray to the binoculars hanging by the front door! Derwent Lodge is ideally situated for exploring Keswick and the beautiful North Lakes. We look forward to returning to the Lodge in the very near future. Bob and Yvonne Bolton (Preston)

"Derwent Lodge was excellent."
Clean, and well presented. Beds comfortable and kitchen had everything you needed. Plenty garden space and decking should the weather be good for sitting outside. Welcome pack of milk, fruit loaf, and jam delicious. In the bathroom were miniature toiletries which were appreciated. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this lodge.

"Derwent Lodge was fantastic!"
The lodge itself was spotless, extremely comfortable and had everything you need. It’s situation / access to places near and far was great! The outdoor decking space and garden space was superb , with cracking views! Can’t wait to return
-
"Excellent accommodation with all facilities as home from home."
The shampoo soap and body washes a nice touch. Brilliant location. Very relaxing or great for exploring. The Pheasant Inn was a 5 min walk but would advise booking. The Packhorse Inn in Keswick did excellent food too. The fish and chips were to die for. Booths in Keswick was a must for all essentials but remember your £1 coin for the car park (refundable) All in all we had a fantastic week here. Would highly recommend

"Lodge was nice and comfy, location was very good and close to Keswick."
Would have given higher rating but was disappointed with the outside deck area. The table was filthy and didn’t look like it had been cleaned for some time, the chair covers we the same very dirty and the box they were stored in had some discarded underwear!!
Hi Derek Thank you for your feedback. I am glad that you found the lodge to be comfy and that you enjoyed the location. I will bring the cleaning of the outside table and chair cushions to the cleaners' attention and am sure that she will rectify this during the next change over. We look forward to welcoming you back to the lodge at some point in the future. . Best regards Property Owner

The property
Settled on the idyllic setting of Burnside Park, in the shadow of the magnificent Skiddaw mountain, lies this charming, two-bedroom holiday home, Derwent Lodge.
Boasting off-road parking, a lush, lawned garden, and a tastefully-presented, open-plan living space, this delightful lodge welcomes a family of four or a group of sharing friends who are seeking a refreshing, self-catered escape to the heart of the Lake District National Park.
Once you've parked up and unpacked your belongings, make yourself comfortable in your lovely new home-from-home, by getting to work in the fully-equipped corner kitchen, where the chosen chef will find all the appliances they'll need to rustle up a delicious, home-cooked meal.
Savour your dinners as a group around the dining table, or head outside into the pristine garden to enjoy some alfresco dining on the garden furniture when the sun is shining overhead.
In the evenings, gather in the plush sitting room and stick a film on the Smart TV as you're kept warm and toasty by an electric, log-effect fire.
When sleep finally calls, rejuvenate with a long, hot shower before you finally hunker down for a much-needed rest in one of the two inviting bedrooms.
If you can tear yourself away from your fabulous base, head out to explore the very best of what Keswick has to offer.
Head out on foot into the town where you can stock up on supplies at Booths supermarket, settle down for a traditional pub lunch at the Dog & Gun, before taking a walk through the serene setting of Hope Park.
