  • "Super holiday home!"

    Spacious, very well maintained and also homely. Kitchen well stocked, for us it was just missing a cheese slice. Bedrooms very comfy. Twin room feels slightly lacking with no wardrobe but there’s nowhere to put one in it and the chest of drawers were useful. Really appreciated the night light/torch on the landing. Bathrooms were nice and the only niggle there was that we couldn’t get the over bath shower to work. There’s probably a knack to it or the water pressure isn’t strong enough to make it work? What a beautiful area and the house was 9 mins from town centre, which was really handy. Amongst other walks, we walked from the cottage into town and down to the jetty, walking the clockwise way round the lake. Great to walk with lovely views as you walk. Would stay at the house again when we revisit the area. So much of the Lakes that we still need to see!

    Thanks for the feedback and really glad you enjoyed your stay. yes there is a knack to the bath shower mixer if you pull the diverter down and it changes the flow. The twin room we went with allowing 2 kids to share so 2 single beds and a chest of draws over 1 bed and a wardrobe. Property Owner

    The shower room never warmed up but if the wall thermometer in the lounge was raised to 22c then the top bedroom radiator began to warm up the bottom 3rd. Otherwise this is a beautiful, clean, well appointed house. The beds are very comfortable with lovely cotton bedding and fluffy quilts. I would highly recommend this house for rental.

  • "Castle Crag is a wonderfully comfortable base for a holiday in the Lake District."

    The amenities of Keswick are close by and there are many walking routes to explore, straight from the door. The house is very well equipped, with everything we needed for our stay and the utility room was handy for our outdoor clothes and shoes. Having a parking space was a bonus, as on street parking in the area is very busy most of the time.

  • "Really well presented and clean property."

    Very convenient access to the centre of Keswick, but also easy to get out of Keswick too. The parking area was a real bonus, particularly at the weekends when the area fills up due to all the guest houses. The area is really quiet. Didn't find the stairs too steep, I had my elderly mum with me and although she couldn't go up and down the stairs very frequently, she could manage them, but the downstairs toilet was a bonus for her. Would definitely book here again if we come back.

    Low pressure warning on boiler. Ensuite shower too cold.

    Hi, The feedback has been passed back to Lake Lovers to change the battery and to manually top up the boiler. Through the summer period and continual use it is hard to gain access for these smaller bits. Your advice is very welcomed to ensure an enjoyable stay for future guests. These little bits were all done on change over so thanks Property Owner

  • "Shower in en suite could have been cleaner."

    Great that we could have extra travel cot and highchair but a bit annoying we had to collect and return them from the office. With the parking in Keswick it entailed a walk carrying both. Would have been easier for the staff to leave them at property.

    Thank you for your feedback, sorry to hear you weren't satisfied with the cleanliness of the shower, I have passed the comments onto the housekeeping team. Not all of our properties have the facility to provide a cot/highchair due to not having space to store in the property whilst not being in use, for this reason we keep spares in the office that guests can borrow however unfortunately we do not have the facility to provide a delivery service. - The owner relations team Property Owner

Enjoying stunning countryside views, nestled within the Lake District National Park, Castle Crag offers a homely, well-equipped base for a family of six, looking to appreciate the beauty of this region.

For a family night in, in front of the electric fire, retreat to the sitting room, with plenty of plush seating to make use of, or if the weather allows, bask in the Cumbria sunshine from the enclosed patio area.
