About this property
Agathi is a larger than expected end of terrace cottage in the heart of the vibrant and popular market town of Keswick. Refurbished to a high standard by its current owners, Agathi offers high quality accommodation, only a short walk from the market square home to the award winning twice weekly market, the great shopping and excellent selection of cafes, bars and restaurants. All are on the doorstep and are a popular draw whatever the time of year.
Agathi is presented with its kitchen/diner, one bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor allowing the lounge to be located in an elevated position on the first floor.
The popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the North of the Lake District and has plenty to offer the visitor at any time of year. The town boasts numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, excellent parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing and great mountain biking opportunities, whilst the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. Nearby, between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw or the famous Catbells, there really is something for everyone. Visit Castlerigg Stone Circle, the Jennings Brewery and Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the Bassenthwaite Lake, or take a fabulous boat trip around Derwentwater. With plenty of attractions for the kids, lovely parks and the nearby Lake District Wildlife Park this is a great Lakeland destination whatever the time of year.

Our first impressions on entering the cottage was how spotless it was. Iâve never stayed somewhere so clean and so well furnished. Plenty of handy supplies in the kitchen and hand soap in the bathroom, which is always welcome. The beds were comfortable and the lounge was a great place to relax and people watch! It is right in the heart of Keswick so can be a little noisy first thing, but this wasnât an issue. Having everything on your doorstep is a major plus along with a parking space! The only thing I would mention is that whilst the house welcomes a dog, it is not ideal if you have a dog that likes the freedom of a back garden. There is a small outside area to sit which is a lane shared with others, so not secure and it is not meant to be used for toileting your dog. Worth knowing and we didnât take our dog as we werenât sure on the facilities, so just making that clear. There are plenty of parks nearby and the car park has some green space, but this might not suit everyone. Certainly not a criticism. We loved our stay and hope to return. Thank you.
