Talcomb Holiday Cottage In Thornthwaite Keswick refurbished 2023

Talcomb is an ideal base for couples or families wishing to explore the Lake District. The cottage has 2 bedrooms and sleeps 4. Talcomb is a cosy cottage in a peaceful location with a lovely babbling beck running close by. Keswick, Cockermouth and Carlisle are all within 20 minutes drive of Seldom Seen. Keswick is a bustling market town laying host to many visitor attractions including the Theatre by the Lake, the Pencil Museum, parks, galleries and museums. It is the ideal place for summer picnics on the banks of Derwentwater or to take in the spectacular views from the top of Skiddaw, Latrigg and Helvellyn. Cockermouth is a quaint town famous for its connection with the poet William Wordsworth and the brewing of Jennings Real Ale. The capital of Cumbria, Carlisle is well worth a visit, centrally located bordering Scotland and Northumbria, it provides numerous attractions from the hustle and bustle of shopping and city life, to its historic Castle and Carlisle Cathedral.

Quaint Cottage
The cottage was very comfortable. Older style but renovated kitchen & bathroom. Very warm and cosy lounge & nice bedrooms. Main bedroom bet is quite big for the room but nice to sleep in. Ideal location for exploring the Lakes region

Quaint & a little quirky!
Comfortable cottage, very convenient for most lakes. Downstairs toilet & shower and the double bedroom is indeed very small & a very tight fit! Storage heaters worked fine & electric shower. Good value for price charged and would happily book again.

Nice cottage
Everything you need lovely location, shower to high to step into would help If it had a grip handle. Stairs very steep, could do with hand rail at the bottom right hand side. Be better if smaller bed in the double bed room,, a divan would give more room, as it was hard to get into the bed.. should mention in the description.that the stairs are steep, and the shower is high to step into for people with walking difficulties
