“Fantastic location, very clean, well-stocked kitchen, easy access, thorough and informative welcome-manual.”

There was even a box of fudge and a bottle of wine to welcome us. We can't fault our stay and would certainly stay again. Thanks for having us!

“This was a spacious and well-appointed terrace house (two knocked into one, I suspect!”

) and we enjoyed an extremely pleasant and comfortable stay. On arrival we discovered dust under some of the furniture and cobwebs on the lampshades - not a huge problem, but we did notice it! Parking on the narrow cul-de-sac street is not always possible, especially with four people using two cars. Turning is almost impossible on the short street, so you end up backing out on to the main road. We mostly had to find street parking nearby, but that wasn't difficult. There were only two bowls when we arrived, but by the second day four more were provided. We have broken one small wine glass during our stay: please bill us for the replacement.

“We had a fabulous week at Fryston Cottage.”

The cleanliness was impeccable, kitchen very well equipped and the beds comfortable and quiet at night. The nearby road is busy but didn’t disturb our sleep as the traffic dies down later in the evening. The pub across the road is great to visit after a days walking to have a drink outside in the front sun trap. Again, any noise disappears on closing time and was not an issue. Managed to park right outside every evening. Took about 10 mins or so to walk into town and is very pleasant if you go along the old railway line walk. Very spacious accommodation. Thank you for our lovely stay.

Natalie July 2024

“A really fantastic cottage which was a great home from home.”

Clean and modern with everything you could want on your trip. The location is great - a short walk into Keswick. Perfect for our first trip away with a baby.

- Natalie, July 2024
Jenni July 2024

“Lovely clean spacious cottage, and much bigger than I was expecting!”

Great location for walks into Keswick and surrounding area. Helpful information pack in the house and lots of games and books in the event of bad weather. Fortunately it was mostly dry so we had plenty of days out and some lovely pubs and restaurants to choose from.

- Jenni, July 2024
Stephen June 2024

“Very happy with our stay at Fryston Cottage.”

The location is great, being only a 10 minute walk into the centre of Keswick and having a pub (food available) and Spar (everyday shopping) very close by. The property is spacious, very well maintained and everything was clean and tidy on arrival. As per description parking is a little tight but we didn't have any problems with this. .

“We had a lovely few days.”

The cottage was just as described and had everything you could need. Perfect location and a lovely view of latrigg. Would definitely return.

- Amanda, April 2024
Wayne March 2024

“The property was very nice.”

Everything we needed was there. Ideally located for the bus stops so we did not need our car to travel around. We would highly recommend this property.

“Lovely property one of our favourites - very nice and comfortable - have stayed previously and booked again for December- spot on!”

- Chris, February 2024
Sylvia February 2024

“Lovely property and very well equipped.”

One sheet on the single bed had stains on it which was a bit off putting! We will book again though.

Anne December 2023

“Just a couple of points I'd like to make but by no means are negatives.”

Loved the accommodation, very clean, warm and beautifully maintained. Thankyou for the fudge and wine you left for us, it was very much appreciated. We asked for the twin room to be made up as a double but it wasn't. There was plenty glasses but maybe some champagne/prosecco glasses would be nice. Thanks again for a great stay

- Anne, December 2023
Laura December 2023

“Lovely spacious but cosy cottage.”

It looks small from the outside but really opens up inside. Great to have 2 bathrooms . Lovely large master bedroom. The fudge and wine were much appreciated but perhaps a pint of milk for a cuppa after a long journey by public transport. Ideally situated for walking and a short walk into the centre of town.

- Laura, December 2023
Chris December 2023

“Amazing property - had all we needed in great condition I.”

E. as new. With everything we needed would look to book again probably the best cottage I have booked (and I've booked loads!). Location was great 15 mins walk into middle of town and just off the Threlkeld railway path had a great time - spot on!

- Chris, December 2023
William November 2023

“Wonderful holiday at Fryston Cottage.”

Excellent accommodation and facilities. On arrival noted how warm it was and also the cleanliness was first rate. A handy shop and fuel station only a few minutes walk and behind this access to the former rail track with easy walk into Keswick

- William, November 2023
Roger October 2023

“A convenient location for walking.”

The property is clean and modern. Comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, excellent bathrooms. Parking two cars outside the house wasn't a problem. Not too far from Keswick centre - the walk into town along the old railway track and Fitz Park is a delight. Pub next door is OK and not noisy during our stay.

- Roger, October 2023
Elizabeth September 2023

“Spacious cottage garage shop next door easy walk to Keswick facility.”

Comfort beds great location

- Elizabeth, September 2023
Thomas September 2023

“Exactly as it looks in the photos.”

This holiday let has everything you would need and more. Well located with a 10 walk into the centre of Keswick and a good base for touring the lake district. Only slight issue was the king size bed has a raise in the middle. Possibly due to people sleeping on the sides of the bed and not in the middle. This did not effect my sleep however.

- Thomas, September 2023
Carol July 2023

“Very nice cottage and quality of the fittings first class.”

Everything was there what was needed. In good walking distance of Keswick.

“Just returned from a wonderful week in Fryston Cottage, Keswick.”

It is a beautiful little cottage with everything provided including dish wash tablets, washing tablets, soap, toilet roll etc, thank you for that. A home from home! A lovely welcoming bottle of wine and delicious fudge too! Spotlessly clean and so comfortable. The house can home four people, although we had it to ourselves there is plenty space for four. Plenty crockery and cutlery. The supersize king bed was very comfortable, there is a nice big bath with shower over (great water pressure) also another bathroom with walk in shower. It is just next to The Twa Dogs pub which is a lovely little country pub with outside seating. No noise problems from it. Good beer and lovely home cooked food, we ate there one evening. A 10-15 minute walk into Keswick town centre and the best way is via the old railway path (directions in the house) a lovely walk which we did every day. The only negatives, and please don’t let these put you off, are that the cottage is up a narrow lane and there is room for one car outside the door. We chose to reverse up the lane to park as you are coming out onto a busy road, so it is easier to drive straight out. Also there is no garden, so no where to sit out (other than the pub across the lane) also no where to hang washing but there is a washing machine and separate tumble drier and a clothes horse too. We would highly recommend a stay in this lovely cottage and we were very sad to be leaving yesterday (stayed end May for one week).

- Shirley, May 2023
Maureen May 2023

“The cottage had everything to make our stay comfortable.”

Picnics by the river across the road and walking the old railway trail into Keswick were great.

- Maureen, May 2023
Eric May 2023

“We had a lovely week in this cosy cottage.”

The interior is of an excellent standard with 2 large shower/bathrooms. The location is very convenient for strolling into Keswick via the disused railway path, not to mention being next to a dog friendly pub. The only very minor disappointment was no milk left in the fridge, although the wine, fudge and crisps were beautiful.

- Eric, May 2023
Laura April 2023

“This is a very lovely cottage and it had everything we needed.”

It seemed like it was recently redone - very modern but has kept some of the nice charming features. Plenty of space and good setup for traveling with a toddler. The cottage is a short walk into Keswick. It’s next to a pub and the road into Keswick, but we didn’t notice the noise. Very nice to have plenty of available parking.

- Laura, April 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely review, we are pleased you liked the decor the space for your toddler, great to hear the pub wasn't noisy and parking was easy. Property Owner
Elizabeth March 2023

“Fryston Cottage is lovely.”

The house is very well equipped and furnished to a high standard. There was a bottle of wine & box of fudge as a welcome surprise. The 10 minute walk into Keswick is lovely and I would recommend taking the walk on the old railway rather than the road - directions are in the house. I would certainly go back and highly recommend the cottage.

- Elizabeth, March 2023
Terry November 2022

“An excellent cottage which has been modernised very tastefully.”

Plenty of space for 4 with crockery etc to allow guests for dinner. Parking for 1 car which can be difficult. Would return.

- Terry, November 2022
Siobhan September 2022

“What a wonderful place to stay!”

Everything has been very thoughtfully done with everything you could possible need! So much space and the beds are super comfy! Beautiful kitchen and bathrooms. And all within walking distance of Keswick. Will definitely return!

- Siobhan, September 2022
Brian September 2022

“A very comfortable and clean property.”

There was everything we could possibly need in the property. So handy to get onto the Keswick/Threlkeld Walkway to walk into Keswick in a very short time rather than walk down via the main road,

- Brian, September 2022
Matthew August 2022

“Great cottage.”

Very well appointed, with a nice modern finish and facilities throughout. Comfy beds, great shower and plenty of bird games to keep the family entertained. 10-15 min walk into Keswick, which had great eating and drinking options. Highly recommended!

- Matthew, August 2022
Neill August 2022

“We had a wonderful stay at Fryston Cottage.”

The Cottage was exceptionally clean and very comfortable. The kitchen had everything you need and is very well equipped and spacious with a family table for breakfasts/dinners. The bedrooms were very comfortable. The maste having a large ensuite, with bath and shower over. Both shower rooms were excellent and very clean. There is no garden but we didn't mind this. There is a pub very close opposite the cottage, which we didn't use (not pub goers). The lane where the cottage is, is a cul de sac and very narrow so we chose to reverse in to park. There was limited parking but we only had one car so it was fine. Good location, about a 15 min walk into Keswick. Overall, a lovely, comfortable, clean, well equipped cottage. Would we stay again, yes.

- Neill, August 2022
Tim July 2022

“On arrival a complimentary bottle of wine and box of fudge was waiting for us.”

What a lovely gesture! The living room and kitchen were so clean, the cutlery and pans high quality, ultra modern throughout. Upstairs, lovely thick carpets, good sized rooms and stunning bathrooms, one en-suite. We didnt want to leave this cottage! Lots of wardrobe space and drawers and everything provided from towels to hair dryers. Keswick was lovely and a perfect location for short trips around before returning to relax in the cottage. After going to Cornwall for the last 8 years I wondered what the Lakes would be like. I neednt have worried. We enjoyed every minute even when it rained the odd day. Thanks to the owners and Sykes cottages who kept us informed with emails on arrival and leaving the property. Highly recommended!

Michelle May 2022

“I was so impressed with this cottage.”

The pictures do not do it justice at all. It was very clean and comfortable. It was so lovely to have a washing machine/dryer and some washing tablets for it. Touches like this make a big difference. It really did have everything we needed. Along with the gesture of wine and fudge and arrival.Ten minute walk to town and an abundance of walks straight from the door. Fabulous place that I would happily recommend.

The property

Tucked away in the popular town of Keswick in Cumbria, is this lovely two-bedroom, mid-terrace cottage, Fryston Cottage.

Just moments away from a range of fabulous amenities, Fryston Cottage combines original features with its contemporary interior, and is perfectly positioned to enjoy all that this picturesque region has to offer.

Park up on-street outside of the property before making your way into your new home from home.

Well-presented with high-quality facilities and pristine, marble-effect worktops, you'll find everything you need to cook up a storm in the kitchen, including an electric oven, gas hob, and dishwasher.

Gather together around the wooden table which can seat up to six guests and tuck into a hearty meal, followed by a relaxing evening in the sitting room.

Sumptuous, grey seats invite you to snuggle up among the cushions and choose a film on the Smart TV with Freeview or play your favourite tunes on the Bluetooth speaker, all while the electric fire gently warms the room.

Alternatively, soak in the last of the evening sun with a glass of wine on the bench nestled at the front of this lovely dwelling. As the evening draws to a close, climb the stairs to the first floor where you'll find two stylish bedrooms, a super-king-size with access to a spacious en-suite bathroom, perfect for a peaceful soak in the tub, and a twin with zip/link.

In the morning, hang your towel on the heated rail and kick-start your day with a hot rinse in the family shower room before heading off on foot to explore your surroundings.

A short walk from your doorstep will bring you into the heart of Keswick where the delightful streets are lined with a host of amenities, including high-street and independent stores along with a selection of delicious eateries. After satisfying your appetite, head to Keswick Museum to discover the fascinating history of the local area, or explore the quirky illusion exhibits at Puzzling Place; for those of you that have brought your clubs, be sure to visit Keswick Golf Club to test your swing at the 18-hole parkland course before ending your evening with a spot of live entertainment at the Theatre By The Lake.

Thrill seekers can try their hand at ghyll scrambling or white-water tubing with expert tuition available at Keswick Extreme or partake in a session in paddle boarding atop Derwentwater.

Keep the little ones entertained with a visit to Go Ape Whinlatter, an adventurous tree-top rope course, or those looking for a more leisurely day out can explore the former home of famed poet, Wordsworth, at the National Trust property, Wordsworth House.

Embark on a two-footed adventure and explore the scenic landscape of the Lake District National Park, decorated in rolling hills, open moorland and of course, countless lakes; lace up your walking boots and tackle the climb to the summit of Skiddaw, towering over 931m and offering unspoilt views across this picturesque region. With plenty to see and do, Fryston Cottage makes for a lovely base to experience the Lake District.
