Access to many of the walks on the surrounding fells and woodlands is just a five minute walk away. Keswick has a twice weekly market in the pedestrian area around the Moot Hall and hosts many annual festivals throughout the year ranging from the ’Mid-Summer Festival’ to jazz & blues, films, beer and mountain sports. Keswick’s famous Theatre by the Lake and the atmospheric Alhambra Cinema are just a short stroll away from The bolthole.

We enjoyed our stay.

We enjoyed our stay. Kitchen too small for 4 to eat at table and double room very small. Access to back garden is from side door through a gate so couldn’t let dogs have free roam from house to garden. Petrol station sold groceries 5 mins walk. Great shower. Views only from rear. Clean and compact. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We have just returned from a lovely week at this cottage.

We have just returned from a lovely week at this cottage. Conveniently placed 10 minutes from the town centre but with the added bonus of a garden and off street parking. Very quiet clean and modern cottage with stunning views. Well equipped kitchen plenty of hot water and lots of helpful tourist information. Only thing missing for me is a real fire but that's just me...was plenty warm enough without. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

The cottage was clean and comfortable.

The cottage was clean and comfortable. A couple of negatives, the rear garden was untidy, long grass with previous cut not collected, gate to rear was also insecure.

Nice little bungalow, with garage for bike storage, and access to walks straight out of the door. Lovely views across to the mountains! A little bit further from centre of Keswick than ideal, but still walkable in 10 minutes. Would definitely recommend, and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

This is the second time we have stayed at The Bolthole (formerly Candlemass) and loved the newly ref

This is the second time we have stayed at The Bolthole (formerly Candlemass) and loved the newly refurbished bedrooms. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances, cutlery, cooking untensils etc. It is in a lovely position, with a great view from the garden of the fells, so relaxing, and really quiet. I always think it is a privilege when people accept dogs in to their properties - so thank you for making the whole family welcome. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend staying here.

This well appointed bungalow is in a quiet location, within easy walking distance of the main street. There are many walks from the door too, without needing the car! It's comfortable and warm with all that is required for a fully self catering holiday. There is an enclosed garden too, suitable for dogs, and furniture to enjoy an afternoon cup of tea. The views are stunning too. We had a brilliant week, hope we can stay again in the future.
