Is Heatherlea Right For Your Group

Discover why this cottage is the one for your party or family reunion...

For Families
Heatherlea is excellent for families with children. The house provides a travel cot and highchair for little ones. The two separate living rooms mean kids can play games (several board games provided) while adults relax elsewhere. It's a short walk to Hope Park with mini-golf and Derwentwater for boat trips. Keswick Wildlife Park is just 7 minutes away by car.
Groups Will Love...
The dual living spaces are a standout feature for groups. The ground-floor sitting room with gas fire provides a cosy gathering spot, while the first-floor sitting room with open fire offers stunning fell views. This setup allows different activities simultaneously - perhaps board games in one room while others watch TV or read quietly in the other.
Pet Friendly
Heatherlea does not allow pets. The property maintains a strict no-pets policy to ensure comfort for all guests, particularly those with allergies. If you're looking to bring your dog, you'll need to find alternative accommodation in the Keswick area, as many other Lake District properties do welcome pets.

Heatherlea Reviews

Glenda
This being our 5th stay at this property and never fails to impress! From the comfort of the accommodation and cleanliness to the home made scones and shortbread left by Tonia! We will be back
Malcolm
Almost perfect, kitchen bin liner shortage crisis late one night! Very well placed for town and parks and very spacious and comfortable.
Fantastic house in a great location only a couple of minutes walk from Keswick centre. The accommodation had all the amenities you would need for your stay, however long you stayed! Special thanks to Tonia for the, much appreciated, communications.
A beautiful property to stay at a real home from home. Spacious accommodation and walking distance to Keswick town centre with lots of restaurants, pubs and shops. Stayed with friends for a birthday celebration and plenty of room for us all. In fact we each had our own floor with bedrooms and bathrooms. Beautiful views of the mountains from the front of the property. The owner kept in touch with text messages which was helpful and also left delicious scones and Prosecco. We will definitely be back very soon. Thank you.
Great house in a good location. Having 2 sitting rooms works well for a family group.
An exceptional property in a great location.
Danielle
Thank you Tonia and family for a lovely lovely stay in your beautiful house! We spent the weekend at Heatherlea to support my husband who ran the 7 valleys ultra marathon! The house had everything we needed and was the perfect place to both explore Keswick and beyond as well as rest weary bones after an ultra marathon. Also what views!!!!
Lovely property with great facilitys close to Keswick Town center.
Lovely wellappointed cottage, comfortable beds. Very well organised with everything you need for a home away from home. Onstreet parking, but we didnt have problems parking within a reasonable distance.
Heatherlea was a lovely house and we had a great stay. Its a really good location for walking into Keswick. There was plenty of space for everyone. Parking could be tricky at times. It was really lovely to arrive and find homemade scones and shortbread biscuits, they were delicious. We would definitely stay again. Thank you.
Perfect stay in a home away from home. The house was better than the listing described, in a perfect location with everything you could need. Hosts were 1010. Will definitely book again if in the area.
Beverley
We have a had a fabulous stay in Heatherlea. The house is lovely . Each bedroom is decorated beautifully. The kitchen facilities are great, probably one of the best we have experienced. The two lounges which is a bonus, are really comfortable too. We even got to use the outside furniture as the weather was lovely. Overall cant fault the house.

We had a lovely time staying in Heatherlea for a family holiday. Everything was as stated and so clean and comfortable. The weather was superb, so we spent a lot of time sitting in the garden.

Stayed as a group of four couples. The property was perfect.
A really great place. Everything was as advertised, and looked even better in person! Tonia the host was lovely and messaged before and after to make sure everything was okay. Except for a slight lack of toilet paper, all was excellent, and we would highly recommend!
Jennifer
Heatherlea was great house very big for our party of 6 . Its great for a family having two reception rooms . The parking was a bonus . The kitchen well equipped.Will definitely return . Thank you
The communications were great from the outset and were consistently so throughout the stay. The accommodation was really excellent, better even than we were expecting and really suited the group that we were staying there with. I couldn't fault anything at all, we really didn't want to leave!
Heatherlea was clean and comfortable for all our family and the owners made us feel very welcome. Plenty of crockery and kitchen equipment. Good assortment of board games. Couldn't figure out the heating instructions but used the gas fire for a couple of evenings. Great home from home for our family week away. Easy walking distance to town and loads of things to do. Wildlife park, boat trip, kayaking and hiking to name a few. Pencil museum very interesting.
Deborah
Wonderful house. Fantastic location. Great base for our family holiday. Well stocked kitchen and two lounge areas real bonus. Children loved it. Nice touch of scones and shortbread left by owner both delicious. Would definitely recommend and hope to return.
Rachel
This property is excellent. It has an extremely well equipped kitchen, large dining table and a lovely courtyard space to eat out on warm evenings. The beds are all comfortable and all the bathrooms are well set out. The 2 sitting rooms have large comfortable sofas and chairs. The added bonus is parking for 2 cars in the side lane. The owner called us to let us know the property was ready ahead of 3pm and we were welcomed with home made scones and biscuits and a bottle of Prosecco. I would highly recommend this property.
A really really excellent clean and well equipped property the 2 sitting rooms and kitchen are beautiful spaces The cookies and scones left by the owners were a lovely touch.
Property was very comfortable throughout, the kitrchen was very well equipped and the view from the living room on the first floor was much appreciated. The two parking spaces were a real bonus considering the parking in the area. The location, walking distance from all Keswick facilities was also much appreciated.
Dorothy
Beautiful house. Ideal situation to walk into the centre but still a very quiet area.everything provided in the house you need for a self catering stay.
Noreen
Heatherlea is situated a short walk from the town centre. Its very comfortable and beautifully maintain with everything you need. We could not fault it. The kitchen is superb. We had a chef in our party who thought it the perfect kitchen for a holiday break. The 4 bedrooms all with access to their own ensuites or bathroom were an excellent size and very comfortable. Both sitting rooms were spacious and the whole house tastefully presented. The small garden at the back was ideal for breakfast and for sitting out in the evening on a good day and we were blessed with beautiful weather. Parking was not a problem for 2 cars. The hosts left a lovely tin of home made scones and delicious shortbread and kept in contact before our arrival and before we left. Communication was excellent with both them and Sykes Cottages. We loved our stay and would not hesitate to book again. Many thanks to our host.
Heatherlea is a fantastic cottage in Keswick. It is really spacious with plenty of living spaces and games and books which kept us all entertained. The views out of the first floor lounge are beautiful looking out over the fells. The kitchen is one of the most well equipped kitchens we have ever stayed in with lovely little touches of biscuits and scones which we enjoyed after coming back from walks. We would definitely return, thank you Tonia for a wonderful stay!
