Driftwood Cottage

Ideal base for travelling around Lakes.

Keswick 2 minutes walk away. Main road routes within 1 mile. Host very helpful and friendly. Location getting a make over during winter. Well worth a stay

The cottage was in a good location.

The kitchen equipment we found was very basic/limited. The cooker was very dirty. The bed and mattress was not very comfortable and bedding very poor quality. The check out time of 9 o clock was very inconvenient and earlier than other properties we have stayed in to the point that we decided it was more practical to leave the day before.

A very comfortable stay.

Clean and well layed out property. Comfortable beds and good shower. Garden spacious, ideal for a bbq on a sunny day. It took a few attempts to identify the turn off to take the car around to the rear of the property. Maybe a simple diagram included with arrival info would help. Not to distract from the fact that Driftwood Cottage is the ideal place to stay on the very edge of Keswick.

Lovely cottage and very homely and comfortable and our stay was top class.

Just one small comment regarding cooking (although we did not cook) there was no condiments or anything in the cupboards (as in salt pepper oil sugar tea bags coffee) . These could be provided at very little expense and would last months and enhance the feeling of being more homely and equipped.

After staying in various cottages in Keswick we found this Cottage to be dated and in need of an upgrade in particular the kitchen which does not cater for family dining at all.

Sofas in living room need replacing Mattresses on both beds need replacing, a dressing table needs to be added to the 2nd bedroom and privacy blinds in both bedrooms. Hot water was not hot even though the boiler was turned up to max. Also front gate goes straight onto a busy main road- one to bear in mind if you have children

A lovely family friendly cottage with beautiful views!

Driftwood is a very spacious and clean "homely" property.

It's location is just across the road from Fitz Park with a lovely walk along the river into Keswick Town, which takes about 15 mins. The owners are delightful, they even trimmed up the living room with Christmas decorations and left us a bottle of bubbly and Scottish shortbread!

Perfect cottage for our needs.

Comfortable, convenient for Keswick, but far enough away to be quiet, and convenient for the lake area in general.

Lovely cosy cottage.

Nice touch with the welcome basket especially the bottle of wine. Thank you Only suggestion I would make is for a handrail to be fitted in the shower especially for older people like me with knee problems.

We were really pleased with the cottage and facilities and it was a great location.

It was a spacious property although not a lot of storage space in some of the bedrooms, however we would love to stay there again. The only downside was the late check in and early checkout.

Great location.

Well equipped, great power shower. Had a lovely stay. Would have been 5 stars, however the mattresses were very bad, leading to poor sleep and back pain.

Enjoyed every minute of our stay!

Thank you

Incredible cottage in an amazing location.

The cottage itself is beautifully presented with everything you will need for stay, great parking for and a fantastic back garden where you can relax in the sunshine. Only a few minutes walk away is the centre of Keswick with plenty of restaurants and bars to choose from and also plenty of shops etc. We really enjoyed our stay and are hoping to stay there again next year.

Want to book the house next year July 12 to July 19th Please confirm if possible

Driftwood cottage is a lovely place to stay its well looked after which makes your stay comfortable its got everything you will need for your stay also the parking is a big bonus the location is fantastic for everything we had a great time thanks

Loved our week in driftwood cottage, cosy , clean in a great location for walking the wainwrights and for Keswick centre.

Nice walk through the park into town

Driftwood was really good.

Very clean, comfortable, warm. The location was perfect for walking into Keswick, The grandchildren loved walking through the park into town. The garden is huge, and would be perfect in the summer. Lovely mountain views from front and back. Would return. Only reason for four stars instead of 5 is the beds weren’t very comfortable. Wouldn’t stop us coming back, but better mattresses/bedding would make it perfect.

Property was lovely perfect position to walk into town would definitely book again.

We found Driftwood Cottage easily with directions provided and found it to be very clean and well equipped.

The local office rang to see if everything was ok and I made them aware of a couple of little niggles from previous occupiers. Dean, the owner came to see us next morning to see if everything was satisfactory. There is a lovely patio area at the rear of the property which we used on most evenings for al fresco dining as weather lovely with views of fells. This property is a good base for exploring Keswick and the surrounding areas. We hope to return in the future. Thank you.

A very enjoyable stay in driftwood cottage.

Within walking distance for town, hiking and local restaurants. Would highly recommend this property.

Cottage was comfortable and clean.

Location was great and parking was a bonus although needed a name plaque by the hedge to help people find it. Listing said suitable for 4 cars but they would need to be small! Fits 2 easily. Map on site shows cottage on opposite side of road! However we had a great stay and reasonable weather helped.

Overall cottage was comfortable and well looked after, the stay was mostly positive.

Everything you would need for a two week stay was provided. However with the extra time afforded to cleaning between occupants I would have expected them to at least visually check the condition of kitchen equipment, when we arrived we have to wash much of the cultelry and there was food stuck to some pans and the cheese grater from the previous occupants.

A perfectly situated holiday cottage.

short walk into Keswick and plenty of lovely walks to be had without getting in the car. A very comfortable cottage

Driftwood is in a perfect location for exploring the Lakes, just cross the road and follow the path through Fitz Park and you will be in Keswick in 5 minutes.

The cottage itself was spotless on arrival, no problems at all. There are however one or two things that would make this a five star property. A bigger bed in the master bedroom, and a radio in the kitchen, plus a bedside table on the missing side of the bed. However these are just our thoughts. We would definitely stay there again, highly recommended.

The kitchen was not very suitable for a young family and quite small.

Hard to cook meals in which is key with a young family. Plus the island wasn’t kid friendly in terms of sitting down to eat. Kitchen utensils very basic in terms of quality.

Lovely bungalow great location, town very easily accessible along with many walks.

Excellent base for exploring the hills and mountains around Keswick!

Very comfortable and cosy cottage with very kind and helpful owners who made us feel very welcome and left their contact details for if any issues or concerns.
