  • "Another lovely stay at Cottage 1."

    Very comfortable and plenty of room for two people and a dog. The new bathroom was great - amazing shower. Pet gate was useful. It would be nice to have a couple of pint glasses please. We found the move from a Saturday to a Friday changeover to be a disadvantage. This meant taking an extra day of annual leave and the traffic is much worse on a Friday. Overall a beautiful cottage in a beautiful location.

  • "The cottage was in a fantastic village, very peaceful close to the pubs and shop."

    One of the things that I thought would have been better is if there was an iron in the cottage, wasn't sure if it was in the laundry room but with COVID would be better to be in each cottage. One other point it would be better if there was more than one key so each of you could go out separately.

  • "We were allocated Cottage 2 on arrival instead but this actually did us a favour as we had come directly from a narrow boat holiday and having the extra bedroom gave us more storage space for the things we didn’t need for our week in the cottage."

    Location was excellent will use again in the future. Cottage clean with all amenities. Could possibly do with a couple of occasional tables for drinks in the evening whilst watching TV.

  • "Good base for Lake District we had a nice week, the owner should turn the "comfort setting" off on the boiler and save money, I M O this is not necessary in a property of this size."

  • "Braithwaite is a excellent village."

    Great base for lots of walking, shop and pubs are lovely. Really close to Keswick, cottage overall is good, however there were a few niggles... dripping tap in the kitchen very annoying and the fridge needs attention as the door doesn’t close properly on it. Bed was comfy, hob was very good, could do with more information about recycling as the bins were overflowing and we didn’t know which day it was collected. We ended up bringing ours home and putting it in our own recycling bin. All said we had a lovely week in cottage 1.

  • "Lovely setting & area , but we question your score of 4 ticks."

    Especially compared with other properties we have rented with Sykes. So many little 'niggles', such as the broken fridge door, shower door & no light at the bottom of the stairs. After the fantastic stay at the Nook the previous week disappointed to receive no welcome pack. Not even a pint of milk. This place looks tired which is surprising as presumably it was empty for 3 months earlier in the year

  • "Upgraded from Cottage 1 to 2 on day of arrival."

    Very clear directions to cottage. Larger cottage very comfortable for two people and dog. Parking slightly tricky, but sorted quickly by lovely owner. Beautiful surroundings with walks from the door. Recommend Ivy House for food, which can be take away. Coledale Inn is dog friendly, has a beer garden with great views, and also doing take away food.

Each is wonderfully appointed with plenty of space to unwind with your loved ones after an adventure in the local area.

From the village are many fell walks, including the Coledale Round, offering an awe-inspiring trail through a classic u-shaped valley with stunning views and not a walk to be taken lightly.

About the location

BRAITHWAITE

Keswick 3 miles.

Between the magnificent northern lakes of Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite, lies the village of Braithwaite. Still retaining much of its traditional appeal, the Coledale Beck runs through the village with whitewashed Lakeland cottages, two village shops and two real ale Inns each brimming with character! Between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw, there really is something for everyone. Visit Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the lake with an open-air theatre, or take a trip around the lake. Lake District Wildlife Park, Dodd Wood, Derwentwater, and Keswick with its wide range of attractions, are also within easy reach.
