The Gables

The Gables: a house near Keswick in the Lake District for groups of up to 12. Listed features: swimming pool, enclosed garden and ground-floor bedroom. The swimming pool is what most groups will book it for. Bedrooms and bathrooms: 6 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Expect to share bathrooms: 5 between 6 rooms, so agree a rota or stagger the mornings. Prices start from £1,728 a week on the holidaycottages.co.uk page (checked 1 November 2026), which works out at about £144 per person for a full week at capacity. The listing says celebrations are welcome, but confirm the house rules on noise and numbers before you pay a deposit. Count the parking spaces against the number of cars, and ask whether the road in suits a minibus.
