"Well located property close to the centre of Keswick."
The property was clean and spacious. Good central heating meant the house remained cosy and always the option to boost the heating if required. We did have an issue with boiler failure but this was resolved once we got hold of the management company. We would return when next visiting Keswick.

"Warm, cosy and well equipped."
Great to have a parking space and be so close to central Keswick and its facilities. A lovely space for relaxing with family and friends. It was mixed weather whilst we were away so it was lovely to come home to such a comfortable cottage and be able to dry our clothes and wash the dog!

"Cottage was was nicely decorated and in a great location."
Just a few improvements to be made though, some of the glasses weren't clean when we got them out to use and there were no condiments in the house such as salt and pepper so you literally need to take everything with you. Tiny washing up liquid left for a week, so we had to buy more as well. The sour note to leave on was that the cleaner was parked up wanting to get in at quarter past 9 when check out wasn't until 10. Not very good as we felt rushed and pressured to leave.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry that you didn’t have our usual customer experience. Friar’s Roost is a self-catering property and as conscientious owners, we try to provide everything our guests will need. This includes a refreshment pack and kitchen starter pack to tide guests over when they first arrive. We have passed your feedback onto our management company and hope that we will see you again.

"We have been coming to keswick for a weeks holiday ever year for the past 10 years and have stead in many different houses and found this a Lovely high end well equipped house in a great location
2 things to point out ."
There was loads of restrictions on our dog ,so we felt is was not really a dog freindy house .
There was a small welcome cleaning pack but had to buy more cleaning products.
However we had a nice relaxing stay .
Thank you for your lovely feedback, we’re so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. To ensure that the property remains as you state, “high end” and for the comfort of all our guests, we do not allow dogs upstairs nor to sit on the house furnishings. There is a dog friendly entrance and bespoke dog shower at the property. We look forward to seeing you and your furry friend in the future.

"The perfect holiday cottage located just a 10 minute walk from the main centre of Keswick."
Also an ideal location from which to access endless hiking routes. Out of season there is plenty of on road parking outside the property.
Fully equipped cottage with everything you could want during your holiday as well as being warm, comfortable and cosy. The house lay out suited us well, bathrooms were spotless and beautifully presented, the kitchen and dining area were clean and modern with everything we needed to prep and cook. The living room had a lovely gas fire (ideal after a cold, wet day out hiking) and we could bring muddy dogs in via the utility room to be washed off in the dog shower! Genius idea!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Friar's roost and would definitely book again.

"Lovely, comfortable house with decor and furnishings of a high standard."
Great bathrooms with plentiful hot water, essential after a day on the fells.
Dog shower and boot room an excellent addition too.
Possibly, the cleanest holiday home we have ever stayed in.
If you park anything other than a very small car in the private parking space, you are not able to close the gates. This was not a problem for us as we were able to park two cars right outside and never needed to move them as walking distance from both town and walks.
Fabulous week, despite the weather.
We would definitely return.

"A fantastic place, well finished and everything we needed, good location for Keswick town centre access."
Small garden but great for dog to use as secure and much outdoor space wasn’t needed due to tiring the dog around the lakes.
Only one comment I would make is having the ability to open the lounge windows as these were secured with pins requiring Allen keys to open, appreciate it’s security but option would be nice. Overall brilliant experience and stay. Thanks
