Everything you need for a self catering holiday in Keswick, the Lake District. Porch Cottage offers comfort, character and quality throughout – perfect for those who love the freedom to cook, dine and relax at their own pace.
The Kitchen
At Porch Cottage, self catering is a joy. The heart of the home is a beautifully designed kitchen that blends original character with modern convenience – perfect for everything from lazy breakfasts to indulgent evening meals.
The kitchen floor is laid with original 300-year-old Skiddaw black slate slabs, now warmed with underfloor heating – a welcome touch on crisp Lake District mornings. The space is fully equipped with high-quality appliances including a Siemens electric oven, induction hob, AEG fridge freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer. A polished Juperana Bordeaux granite worktop adds a touch of elegance, and thoughtful details throughout make cooking and dining a pleasure.
Dining & Relaxing
Whether you’re preparing a hearty dinner after a day on the fells, or simply enjoying a glass of wine and a grazing board, everything you need is here – right down to the corkscrew.
The Courtyard
Just off the kitchen, an enclosed courtyard provides a lovely spot for morning coffee or al fresco dining. It also conceals a unique treat – an outdoor bath, perfect for soaking under the stars in complete privacy.
Shops & Local Produce
For supplies, Booths supermarket is just a 10-minute walk away and is well-stocked with fresh, local produce and quality groceries. Keswick’s town centre also offers independent shops, cafés and a regular farmers market – all within easy reach.
