Bathroom: Roll Top Bath With Shower Over, Toilet
First Floor:
Living room: Freeview TV, Woodburner
Bedroom 1: Double (4ft 6in) Bed
Bedroom 2: Galleried, 2 x Single (3ft) Beds. Gas central heating, gas, electricity, bed linen, towels and Wi-Fi included.. Parking permit provided for use on nearby car parks; unloading at the door. Please note: This property has extremely steep, paddle-style stairs to the twin beds on the gallery.. A charming, cosy and quirky two-bedroom listed stone-built terraced cottage, that’s almost 250 years old! 11 The Plosh is located only a couple of minutes’ walk from Keswick’s historic market square and is super convenient for the Lake too. Pubs, restaurants, Theatre by the Lake and Keswick’s quaint historic Alhambra Cinema are all on the doorstep.
The centrally heated accommodation comprises a cosy well-equipped kitchen with a dining table located on the ground floor, creating a lovely social space to gather around for a homely meal, along with the bathroom with a roll-top bath with rain shower over, ensuring a relaxing and convenient bathing experience for all. On the first floor, there is the galleried living room with TV, real flame gas wood burner, original waxed floor and bay window. Here you can embrace the cosy ambience and catch up on your favourite show or film with your loved ones. The main bedroom is off the living room with an antique French double bed for a restful night’s sleep, complimented by exposed timbers, generous wardrobe space and a DAB radio. Two additional single beds are accommodated in the gallery area off the living room accessed by very steep paddle steps (making it unsuitable for guests with reduced mobility and young children) with rooftop views to Catbells and Causey Pike. The cottage enjoys views of the fells from the galleried bedroom and first-floor lounge and provides a delightful cosy base from which to enjoy your holiday. Shops, pubs and restaurants 50 yards.

We had a fantastic week staying at 11 The Plosh. The owners had gone to lots of trouble to make the cottage appealing with beautiful Christmas decorations throughout. It was very well equipped and extremely clean. We would definitely stay here again. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We had a great weeks stay at this lovely property. The cottage is lovely and cozy. We were pre-warned by the owners that they had to remove the throws and cushions from the suite in the lounge no issue for us took our own. This cottage is well equipped the location is superb  On an evening we got the burner on in the lounge and we were all warm as toast in a cold and wet October evenings. We will definitely stay at the 11 The Plosh again 100%. Thank you Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

The cottage meet all our requirements.
The cottage meet all our requirements. Great location, clean, plenty of room for the 4 of us. We will for sure stay here when we come back to the Lake District. On previous reviews people mention the steep steps for the two single beds. In our case it was used by our two kids, 6 and 10. I would say if you have a child under 4 and maybe 5 I would be prepared for potentially challenge getting them up and down. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo
