We recently had the pleasure of staying at Anley Cottage, and I must say, it was the perfect retreat for a relaxing getaway. Being first-time visitors to Keswick, we were pleasantly surprised by everything the town had to offer. One standout experience was the cinema—a charming, old-style venue that truly added to the charm of the area.
The location of the cottage couldn’t have been better, with beautiful walks right on the doorstep. We managed to conquer Catbells and also stumbled upon Surprise Point, on the way to Watendlath Bothy. The views were incredible, and the peaceful surroundings made it an unforgettable experience.
If you’re doing the circular walk around Derwentwater, I highly recommend stopping at The Mary Mount for lunch, or even the Lingholm Kitchen & Walled Garden—it’s the perfect spot to unwind after a scenic walk.
It was great to be able to return to a cosy cottage after a day out exploring the area.
Overall, our stay was nothing short of amazing, and we’re already planning our next visit to Anley Cottage. Highly recommended!
