What guests are saying
Fantastic stay, ideal location and had everything we needed.
We will be back!
We are glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and that we can welcome you again! Natasha and Richard
Had a fantastic week at Crow Cottage in Keswick.
The cottage is lovely with lots of space and 3 big bedrooms. The location is perfect and lots of walks from the door and a 5 minute walk into Keswick town.
Walking from the front door is one of the reasons we love the location. We are happy to hear you enjoyed your stay. Richard and Natasha
Dirty towel left in bedroom.
Overall cleanliness poor. Dirty unwashed grill pan left in oven. Oven grill not working. Ironing board difficult to get out. No child safe cups or plates. Would benefit from a downstairs toilet. Would not recommend this property.
Hello Mrs McDonald, I am sorry you experienced a couple of misses on the cleanliness front (ie dirty towels/ pans) and that the downstairs was less clean than you expected. It’s a shame you didn’t call our property manager on arrival. Their contact number is clearly displayed in the house. They would have promptly come to the cottage to address the points of cleanliness, had they been contacted. We have additionally arranged a full spring clean ahead of the summer season so nothing is overlooked. The grills in both ovens are fully functional, personally tried and tested. Again our property manager would be any guests first point of call for help using anything that’s not clear enough. I understand the ironing board is in a slightly awkward spot to manoeuvre. We are, alas, somewhat limited in large cupboard space and we prefer to tuck it away, rather than leave it out or in a guest bedroom, as not every guest uses it. Space is also what limits the addition of a downstairs toilet - we’ve thought about it but decided not to compromise on living space, since there are two upstairs toilets. We have happily added child friendly cups and plates to the kitchen supplies. Thanks for the suggestion. We are sorry to read you wouldn’t recommend the property but we’ve addressed what we can. Natasha and Richard
Second time at Crow Cottage.
Very comfortable place with everything you need for a nice stay. Very handy for walking into town and we also found a lovely cafe in the park over the road. Nice and cool house in the heatwave!
Welcome back to Crow Cottage, Mr H. We are delighted you chose to stay with us again second time. That is always an endorsement we appreciate. We also love Café HNW, and especially the churros. We must add it to the guest welcome book so we spread the word! I am pleased to hear the stone keeps things cool as well. We hope you choose to stay with us again. Natasha and Richard
Crow cottage is in the best location, 3 mins walk to Keswick high street.
We didn't use our car all week, walks are right on your doorstep and the bus service is cheap and convenient. The cottage itself is lovely, spacious and very comfortable. We felt very lucky to have selected it.
Thank you for your feedback, Mrs B. We always appreciate being able to walk from the door of Crow Cottage onto the fells and into town. Somehow, though, the garden and hedge make you feel a million miles from other places and people. I hope the weather was kind so you could enjoy the garden. We hope you choose to stay with us again Natasha and Richard
Another wonderful holiday at Crow Cottage.
Everything was as perfect as it was when we last stayed. Had a small issue with the water but Tracey managed to fix it almost straight away. Such a comfortable and convenient place to stay and we can't wait to return next year.
Hello Mrs Walker, A belated thank you for your review and we are so glad you enjoyed staying at Crow Cottage. January can be a quiet time in Keswick, at the mercy of the weather but it’s a great chance to recharge by the fire! See you next year Natasha and Richard
Lovely comfortable cottage cleaning regime needs some improvement.
Temperamental hoover full to the brim . Central location so we’ll return .
Hello and thank you for your feedback. We are glad you found Crow Cottage comfortable. We have upgraded the hoover (runs off mains now not battery charged) and have left spare hoover bags albeit we hope it never falls to our guests to empty it. We look forward to welcoming you back!
Great cottage in a good location.
Really well equipped. A big plus having parking and a garden. Quiet location but so handy for town and the park. Our first stay but have already booked again for next year. Thank you.
Thank you for the feedback- the house is in a lovely spot and I hope you’ve enjoyed the birds in the garden. We are so glad you found everything you need in the house and the location suited you. We look forward to welcoming you back!
Exceptional cottage in a super location, beautifully furnished and maintained to a high standard.
We had a wonderful holiday.
We are so glad you enjoyed your holiday and found Crow Cottage to be well equipped. We also love that it is easy to reach fells and town from the door step!
Location perfect, on the doorstep to the town and walks.
Spacious with a very homely feel. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. No scissors available.
We are very glad you enjoyed your stay and both the town and the fells. Who knows what happened to our scissors but thanks for your feedback - we’ve replaced them and Crow Cottage comes with scissors again! We hope you choose to stay with us again Natasha and Richard
A lovely clean beautifully presented cottage in a fabulous location.
Close to town and with plenty of hikes on the doorstep. It was quiet and comfortable with all the facilities that we needed. I would highly recommend.
Thank you for your recommendation- hiking from the doorstep makes it impossible to resist the fells!
Fantastic cottage with everything we needed.
Great location.
We are glad you enjoyed your stay Mr Booth- the cottage is handy for the fells and town - one of the reasons we love it! Natasha and Richard
Although the property was well equipped and tidy, we had a problem with the fridge .
We had to throw away quite a lot of food because the fridge wasn't working.
Our second stay at crow cottage and really enjoyed it
Thank you for coming back! We hope you decide to make a 3rd visit. Natasha and Richard
We've been coming to the Lakes annually for over 30 years and this is the best house we have stayed in.
Very comfortable, all the facilities you need and fabulous location
We were chuffed to read your review Mr Symonds. We are glad you enjoyed your stay and found everything you needed in Crow Cottage. Being able to walk (or indeed wheel, drive, or bike) from the cottage to town, fells, parks and the wonderful Derwentwater makes everything so easy! We hope you will choose to stay with us again!
We had a lovely stay, probably one of the best cottages we’ve stayed at in our 30 years of visiting the Lakes.
Kitchen was very well equipped and the beds were all very comfy! The only slight niggles were the lack of a handheld shower, which made washing the kids hair a bit tricky in the bath. Also, if you have a large car it’s really hard to get the right angle to reverse off the drive and then you need to turn around to pull onto the main road, not a huge problem if you have cameras/parking sensors but worth noting. All in all we had a fabulous stay and we’d definitely come back again!
We were delighted to read your review! When we set up the cottage we tried to make sure it had everything we wished was in the cottages we have stayed in over the years. We are glad it hit the mark for you. Thanks for the feedback about the hand held shower. Will see what we can do about that. The driveway has a knack to it- we’ve widened the gate as much as we can. We very much look forward to welcoming you at Crow Cottage again!
The property was beautiful however needed a good clean.
The hoover was absolutely full! The floor in the kitchen needed cleaning around the sides. The mattress cover on the king bed was stained ( only saw this when we stripped the bed - ugh!) The windows need cleaning. The utensils/ pots and pans were dirty. The ceiling lamp at the top of the stairs was dirty. Extraction fan in bathroom dirty. Also advertised as having a log burner but no logs supplied - you need to make this clear on your advertisement and state you need to bring logs. Sadly this let this beautiful cottage down! Not hard to rectify.
Thanks for your feedback and I’m sorry the cleanliness of the cottage fell short of your expectation this weekend. That’s not the standard we aim for and we’re putting it right straight away. If you choose to stay again, or for other guests, if anything is ever amiss, and no matter how small, our property manager Tracey is superb. She lives 5 minutes away and will always come to put it right. Her number is in the house so please, do always call her or Lakelovers direct. We have our spring clean planned over the next week so that will set us straight in terms of a deep clean but I’ll be sure to tackle all the cleanliness items you raise ahead of the next guest arriving. I’d specially mention the log burner- the property is self catering and that extends to logs too. They are readily available in town but I appreciate you may have preferred to bring your own. I’m working with Lakelovers to update this on our website so there can be no misunderstanding for future guests. Thanks again for sharing your feedback.
It is a lovely house , beautifully maintained and we had a great holiday thanks.
Just the dripping bath taps which we couldn’t stop and also the family bathroom sink tap sometimes dripped . I brought a cafetière from home as I remember from last year there wasn’t one ( I’m not keen on the machine coffee). Beds sooooo comfy , fabulous oven. Thank you very much . Jo Liggins
Thanks for the feedback- we are really pleased you enjoyed your stay at Crow Cottage. I sleep better in the beds there than at home. We will get onto the taps - we thought we fixed them during our stay in Feb - looks like it’s time for a plumber! We hope you choose to stay with us again.
Beautiful house close to town and with parking.
Very comfortable and well equipped. Would stay again.
Glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and benefited from how easy it is to walk to everywhere from the Cottage!
Our second stay at this wonderful home.
Well equipped and very comfortable. We have booked to come back next year again.
So glad to hear you’re coming back again! We are here ourselves this week checking out all the equipment and supplies for the months ahead.
Lovely cottage and our second stay - would consider staying again.
3 good sized bedrooms and two sitting rooms means there is loads of space. Only annoyance is that the owner has not arranged for recycling collection (presumably as they won’t pay council tax).
Thankyou for choosing us for a second time, and for your feedback. Crow Cottage is indeed a large property with three good sized bedrooms and two living rooms, so thanks for highlighting it. As a business, Crow Cottage is liable for business rates rather than council tax and we separately pay for a weekly refuse collection. As detailed in the guest handbook, there are recycling facilities in the Otley Road car park less than a five minute walk away. Asking guests to take care of their own recycling helps us to manage costs for our guests. This is the first time we’ve had this feedback so we won’t make any immediate changes but will monitor on an ongoing basis. We hope you choose to stay with us a third time!
When we arrived at the cottage there was a lovely welcome pack from the owners which is a lovely touch.
The cottage is beautiful, set in lovely surroundings and very well equiped with everything you need for your stay. It is in the perfect position, three minutes walk into Keswick market square and very easy access to the A66 and the surrounding areas of the lake district. This is probably the best cottage we have spent a holiday in and would definitely stop here again and have no hesitation in highly recommending it to anyone thinking of spending time in this area, you will not be dissapointed.
Thank your for the review - proximity to the town centre yet the secluded garden makes it feel a world away! We are glad you enjoyed the welcome pack and your stay. Thank you in advance for future recommendations.
Thankyou for a great stay, the house was a fabulous base for us and had everything we needed for a super holiday.
Comfy and spacious with a lovely private garden. Tracey came immediately to turn a double into twins for us which was very good of her. Every outdoor pursuit in walking distance...a super location- thank you for sharing with us
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay - the garden and its bird activity is a favourite place of ours to sit after a hike!
Lovely spacious cottage in a great location .
Nice and warm and with plenty of seats and facilities. Good parking. Quiet despite just being round the corner from the town centre. Great location for a week in the Lakes.
Thank you for your feedback- Crow Cottage is an oasis of calm away from the town centre - especially on market day!
Lovely friendly atmosphere.
Thank you for the wine and biscuits. On our arrival we had to ask for a double bed to be separated into two singles. Within twenty minutes a lovely cheery lady came and sorted it for us.
Hi Barbara Glad you enjoyed the welcome goodies. I’m sorry we didn’t get the bed set up quite right but I’m so glad Tracey came to quickly sort it for you. We hope you enjoyed your stay. Natasha
House was very clean, warm and comfortable.
It was well equipped with everything you would need. All rooms were lovely. Close to town centre. Many walks from the front door. I would happily live in this beautiful house. Thank you for very enjoyable stay.
We are very glad you enjoyed your stay. Walks from the front door are one of the things we love about the cottage!
An exceptional stay at a very beautifully appointed home from home.
Absolutely faultless, immaculately clean and extremely comfortable. We’ve booked to return next year. Very convenient stroll into Keswick which was extremely handy with two young children and well located to explore the Lakes. The Prosecco and Christmas cake bites were much appreciated by the adults and the Christmas tree was much appreciated by the children!
So glad to see you are coming back - that Christmas cake from Booths is a favourite!
The house was lovely.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you - we are glad you enjoyed it! Richard and Natasha
We had a fabulous stay at this comfortable and beautifully appointed cottage.
The short stroll into town was a real bonus and our grandson loved the park which is opposite the cottage and again only a few minutes walk away. Keswick itself is lovely with plenty of restaurants, cafes and pubs. We would love to stay in Crow Cottage again in the future.
We are glad you enjoyed your stay - so many good choices of food in Keswick! Richard and Natasha
A beautiful, well equipped, comfortable cottage, in a perfect location just a short walk from the centre of Keswick.
The secluded garden was lovely. Would gladly stay again
We are glad you enjoyed your stay - the garden is one of our favourite things. We were lucky to catch a hedgehog on our trail cam last time we stayed! Natasha and Richard
The property was well maintained and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay with the family including a 16 mth old toddler.
It was very quiet despite the proximity to the Penrith Rd and the parking for two cars great. Couple of points to note, the cot provided doesn't have a mattress so check out its dimensions if you want to use it. Also the garden is not secure due to a gap in the hedge by the gates. We were able to block it off by moving a wooden structure so that our grandson couldn't easily escape. That said, we would certainly stay there again.
Thank you for your feedback. We do hope you come again- if so you will find the garden fully secure - we have replaced the fence that was down during your stay. Kind regards Natasha and Richard
Generally a lovely house in a very central location.
We enjoyed our stay enormously and would likely return. The essentials are great - plenty of hot water, effective heating and comfy beds. We loved the 3D map of the fells and the little touches like board games and Beatrix Potter books. There were only a few details that would have made our stay perfect. The travel cot provided is not really suitable for a baby to use as the 'mattress' that it comes with is far too hard. It meant that we were unable to use this for our 10 month old daughter, which was very difficult. The WiFi signal throughout the house isn't brilliant - this was only a problem for us as baby monitors depend on WiFi signal. It also seems to affect the smart TV in the lounge as it cannot connect.
What a beautiful cottage, in the most perfect location!
5 minutes walk (if that) from the main shopping area in Keswick and space for 2 cars to park safely. We were absolutely blown away by Crow Cottage. It was so clean, luxurious and with lovely modern touches. The communication we had with the owners prior to our stay, and also the housekeeper during our time there was brilliant. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend & rebook ourselves.
Lovely cottage , only downside was due to the cold weather we found it very cold in both living rooms.
Smaller living room has a radiator completely blocked by furniture. And the larger room is serviced by a really small radiator partially blocked by furniture , radiators in the bay window would help.
We loved our stay at Crow Cottage!
The property was so cosy and the perfect place for a family weekend away. There were so many lovely little touches on arrival which made it feel very welcoming. The cottage is beautifully decorated and in a fantastic location, We would love to stay again in the future.
Superb cottage in the perfect location, very clean, warm and welcoming.
Looking forward to a return visit.
The shower in the ensuite requires repair, cannot get a hot shower.
It was reported during our stay.
A problem with the fridge which was not resolved until 4 days after arrival, poor and rude customer service at the time, wrongly blaming us for the fault Slow response to complaint required chasing up with no apology and inadequate compensation As regular and loyal customer I am extremely disappointed with Sykes
Our second visit to Crow Cottage - and we love it!
Well positioned for all the facilities of Keswick and good as a base for many walks. Clean and comfortable. Relaxing and luxurious. Couldn't ask for more!
