• "This is our go to cottage when staying in Keswick."

  The cottage is ideal, centrally located, a short walk to all that Keswick has to offer, more outdoor shops and public houses than you can shake a stick at and a short walk to Derwent water. Give it a try......

• "Very comfortable and spotless, the location makes visiting the attractions of Keswick very easy and walking of varying difficulty is also very accessible."

  The welcome pack was quite underwhelming and the main oven didn’t work ( the top oven was fine).I was surprised at the total lack of spices etc The addition of an air fryer would be useful.

• "If you’re looking for somewhere to stay in Keswick then this is the perfect place, if you’ve already booked, then you’re in for a treat."

  Our first impressions on entering the cottage was how spotless it was. I’ve never stayed somewhere so clean and so well furnished. Plenty of handy supplies in the kitchen and hand soap in the bathroom, which is always welcome. The beds were comfortable and the lounge was a great place to relax and people watch! It is right in the heart of Keswick so can be a little noisy first thing, but this wasn’t an issue. Having everything on your doorstep is a major plus along with a parking space! The only thing I would mention is that whilst the house welcomes a dog, it is not ideal if you have a dog that likes the freedom of a back garden. There is a small outside area to sit which is a lane shared with others, so not secure and it is not meant to be used for toileting your dog. Worth knowing and we didn’t take our dog as we weren’t sure on the facilities, so just making that clear. There are plenty of parks nearby and the car park has some green space, but this might not suit everyone. Certainly not a criticism. We loved our stay and hope to return. Thank you.

• "Great central location for very easy access to all that Keswick has to offer and really good that parking is included."

  Facilities are good at the property although we were disappointed that there were no recycling facilities so we had to take recyclable items to a public recycling facility on the other side of town. Dog owners should also note that dogs are not allowed to relieve themselves in the small garden area.

• "We loved this cottage and its location."

  In the guidebook it reads ‘hot water on demand’ however we didn’t feel this to be the case, I tried to take a bath and the water firstly ran hot then very quickly came through cold. The second day I tried to take a shower in the morning, again no hot water. We stay in rental cottages quite frequently and I must say this is the only time where we have arrived and there been no tea/coffe and milk or sugar which was also a little disappointing. Other than those things we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the property was beautiful. Thank you

• "This is our second visit to Agathi cottage in Keswick in as many years."

  The cottage is ideally situated close to the town centre so a five minute walk is all it takes to get to your favourite shop / public house, as the cottage has parking which is a great benefit. The cottage on our arrival was spotlessly clean a credit to the cleaning staff. The only minor point was there were no instructions how to reset the boiler if it faulted which could be added to the welcome pack.

  The mattresses feel lumpy soft and old . Both times we tried both bedrooms and were very uncomfortable and ached. Obviously this is not great . Also kitchen needs a meat roasting tin a couple of lidded casseroles.Pads on dining chairs would stop the screeching on slate floor. Easily sorted then definitely a 5 star rating and a return from us .

• "It has a terrific location."

  But it needs a bit of attention. For instance I also rented another cottage…why is there a huge difference in towel quality and amenities from one Lakelover cottage to another ? This one also lacks directions for the lovely gas fireplace in the Lounge ? Is it shut off until later in the fall ? The sofa needs to be covered or cleaned…we put a blanket on it :-( The beds are comfortable enough…the pillows are terrible :-(. I’m not being overly critical as much as I am wanting the owners to know how renters actually feel. To get return guests it needs to be made more inviting.

  Very handy for the lake and wonderful gardens and close to a good supermarket and bus station. I would recommend the Indian restaurant at the bottom of the main street and Brysons tea room is also worth a visit. No hesitation in recommending Agathl, and would certainly visit again. The only problem I had was trying to unlock the key box to deposit the keys on departure

• "We found the property very tired with basic facilities."

  The info in the cottage said not to adjust the setting on the fridge, but we needed to as after a couple of days some food had gone off and had to be thrown out. The fridge has no trays in the door limiting the space with nowhere to stand milk etc. The kettle leaked. There was a 2 slice toaster, but there was 4 of us so this was timely when making breakfast. Non-stick frying pans and trays need replacing. It needs a tumble dryer. The mirror in the main bedroom was in the cupboard not on the wall! Crockery limited. Knives and forks were uneven sizes. Smart TV needed in the lounge. We felt that we 'made do' with a lot of stuff. The bed in the upstairs bedroom moves around, the light in the en-suite kept buffering and going on and off, the extension for the TV was propped up on a chair. The cushions on the chairs in the kitchen were dirty and torn, and the cushions in the main lounge were old and worn. The location is good, walking distance to the square, but it was noisy at times being next to the main carpark, and we had to keep the blinds closed to stop passers by looking in, which made the property dark inside. The accuracy of the listing didn't meet our expectations and we feel the it is very overpriced for the poor standard of this property.

  We walked in on arrival and loved the cleanliness and was impressed with high quality of the decoration and its size. The owner Richard called to make sure we had arrived and to see if we had any questions or concerns - we had none. The location is excellent for both the town centre and to access the start of local walks. Out of town walks were easy to drive to so we were able to plan our days around a get up when we wake up, breakfast around the kitchen table, walk then home for a lovely meal and evening in the very comfy lounge with a fire (gas so no mess). The supermarket is a convenient 5 minute walk away so we did not need to plan food and drink too much in advance. We shall definitely book again.

• "The main problem was the photo of the small patio which was deceptive."

  It showed boundaries on three sides but was taken in such a way as to avoid indicating that it was not enclosed on the fourth side and was actually open with no privacy. As the property allows one pet this information is even more important. This would have been a game changer for us and we would not have rented this particular property had we known. We think that you have missed a trick by not having a picture of the attic seating/ reading area which was an unexpected bonus. Comfort is downgraded slightly because the pillows were very soft with one firm pillow alternative for four people and the duvets were adequate but getting lumpy with use.
