About this property

Cosy Victorian townhouse ideal for families and groups

Abernethy is a beautifully restored Victorian town house, sleeping up to 12, right in the heart of the famous Lake District town of Keswick.

The traditional slate built town house is restored to a high specification with natural wooden floors, an open fire, retained period features, central heating throughout, instant hot water, Wifi, TV, DVD, fabulous dining table for group meals, spacious lounge with mountain views and a well equipped kitchen.

With a lockable outhouse, utility and warm under-stair cupboard there is ample space for storing kit whether it be muddy boots, bikes, waterproofs, ropes, umbrellas or canoes.

The house is a 5 minute flat, walk from the town centre with its shops, bars, restaurants and all Keswick attractions making this a superb venue for a family or friends holiday or a group/business activity challenge.

Abernethy can usually be booked for weekends, flexible mid-week or full weeks.

The house is in a perfect, central location in a quiet residential area. We do ask guests to be respectful to our neighbours and ensure noise is reduced to a sociable non-disruptive level by late evening. There are plenty of places in Keswick where a fun party spirit can be enjoyed until the early hours.

Parking is free and unrestricted on the street and on neighbouring lanes and streets.

Keswick is a quaint market town with a plethora of independent shops, bars, restaurants, galleries and traditional Lakeland pubs. These fine facilities matched with a multitude of Outdoor Pursuits accessible on foot from the town, make Keswick a superb base from which to explore, adventure or simply observe and relax. There really is something for all generations with a well established theatre, indoor pool with flumes, cinema, climbing walls, 1000metre plus fells, lake, water-sports and biking trails all within 5 mins from the town centre.

The Lake District National Park is a beautiful area in Northwest England. Covering over 800 square miles. It is the largest National Park in England. The beauty and grandeur of the scenery is a key reason for making the area a National Park. The National Park has magnificent countryside, mountains and lakes. The Lake District is a great venue for walking, cycling, mountaineering, watersports or pottering around the charming market towns and villages.

Perfect for a family get together
Perfect location- near town, shops, lake, walks. - no need to use the car once there. House has 3 bathrooms- very necessary! Spacious accommodation very well equipped. Warm, comfortable and tastefully decorated. The back yard is a sun trap for morning coffee.

Great townhouse in Keswick, perfect for groups
A very well appointed townhouse in Keswick that is perfect for groups. Crucially it has not just the beds, but also the living and kitchen space to properly accommodate 10 or 11 people. All the local amenities of Keswick are close by as are the Fells. We had a great time and will come again. The owners were friendly and helpful.

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Dickinson

Host profile image
We have recently purchased Abernethy as a place to stay with our young family and friends. As keen outdoor enthusiasts we couldn't think of a better place for a home away from home and we hope guests enjoy the house and surroundings as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

We love Cumbria and the Lake District and it has been a dream of ours to one day own a house in Keswick. We have a young family and are keen for them to grow up experiencing adventure in the outdoors. Abernethy's prime location, with outdoor and indoor activities accessible on foot from the door, make it an ideal place for all ages and all interests. We also greatly appreciate home comforts such as instant hot water, an open fire and comfortable beds - especially after a day walking in the fells or cycling over mountain passes. After all that fresh air we like to relax with a pint of Cumbrian ale and a meal in one of the many restaurants. We believe guests will enjoy both the comfort of the house and the array of activities and entertainment in the local area.

What makes this property unique

Abernethy's perfect location (central yet quiet) make it ideal for access to the many parks, restaurants, pubs, shops, Derwentwater Lake and surrounding Lakeland Fells. A small supermarket is within 2 mins walk, and the main shops all within 10 mins from the door. Fitz Park with it's newly refurbished play area, grass tennis courts, bowling and putting is 3 mins walk from the door too.
