• "Lovely cottage in a perfect location - right in the heart of Keswick."

  It was really spacious, clean and well equipped. The on site parking was a real plus and it was so useful to have essentials in (tea/coffee/washing up liquid/handwash). The owner came round to say hello and give us her contact details in case we needed anything during our stay (never had this before and it was so helpful) and she instantly brought round a couple of things we needed. We stayed with two young children and a dog and it was the ideal base. Cosy, central, comfortable and clean. Would absolutely recommend and will definitely be back. Just hope it doesn’t get too booked up!

• "Overall the cottage was very nice, we enjoyed our stay and the location was exactly what we were expecting which is a huge tick for us."

  We don’t spend much time in the accommodation on our visits to the Lakes, however we do like to cook for ourselves and we missed not having a couple of utensils to hand like a cheese grater but we managed. The fridge was sparkling clean and the shower was one of the best showers we have ever had in our accommodation which was great, also having a toilet on the ground floor and upstairs was another positive addition. We would happily recommend Holly Cottage, but tidying up the damaged wallpaper/tiles in places, cleaning the cobwebs away and boxing in the boiler would make it look so much better. The heating system was easy to use once we had worked out what we needed to do and we would highly recommend a bigger duvet and towels as they were too small for us. Also if you’re going to provide teabags then perhaps include some coffee and sugar. Also we have had lots of experience of at least a pint of milk in the fridge on check in, and this would have been a nice addition.

  Thanks very much for taking the time to give some feedback. All points have been noted and acted upon. The paint brush has been out and where the wallpaper has been knocked by guests cases it's been decorated. I'm really pleased you were comfortable. The joiner has put on his list to Box in the pipes. The crocus bulbs are glorious yellows and purples and the primulas and daffodils are making a glorious show in the sitting area. I've bought tulips today and am planting lots of bulbs for a glorious summer spread of colour. Thank you again, best wishes Helen Property Owner

• "Just returned from our week’s holiday in this cottage."

  The cottage is really comfortable with very good quality furnishings. The WiFi connection was enough for us to watch streamed programmes on Netflix and U. We had a couple of minor problems early on that the owner Helen sorted out very quickly. I have mentioned this as it’s important for guests to know that the owner does care about your holiday enjoyment. The outdoor space is slightly limited but Helen presents it well with flower tubs etc. Well done Helen keep up the good work.

• "I booked this property for its convenient location to town centre and bus station and it didn’ t disappoint."

  The cottage itself was comfortable but I felt it could be improved with very little expense by painting some of the walls in the kitchen and living room to up lift the ambience a little. The bedrooms and bathroom were absolutely great but noted that there was no water coming out of the taps in the main bedroom. Also the information regarding the appliances was not left on view and the thermostat on the kitchen wall should be removed as it is redundant due to new boiler being installed, which we only found out about by chance from the owner who kindly assisted us with the heating. All in all,we enjoyed our stay at Holly Cottage and would not hesitate to book again.

• "We were sadly very disappointed with our stay at Holly Cottage."

  When we first arrived, we were greeted by a cold house with a strong, dank smell, concentrated in the downstairs bathroom and cupboard, but noticeable across the house. This smell was present throughout our stay. Whilst bedding and carpets appeared clean, the house seemed in real need of a proper deep clean or maintenance. There were dead flies in light fixtures, what we assumed to be mud splattered up the wall in the hallway landing, and further dirt marks on the walls in the kitchen, what looked like water marks on the walls of the back bedroom and lounge, hair on the bathroom wall, and wallpaper that was chipped and peeling throughout. The furniture was also tired in places, with the cupboard in the bedroom having parts half hanging off. When we got to the back bedroom, we also noticed that the light and shaving fixture above the sink was hanging off the wall by the wires, with the glass lampshade on the floor. It looked like this had damaged the sink too. Upon seeing all of the above, we were of course really quite upset and wanted to talk to someone who could help. We noted that the first port of call should be Lakes Cottages according to the slip in the kitchen, so we rang them but were sent through a call tree which never ended with anyone who could help. We were eventually able to get through to a person at Sykes, who told us to go to the Lakes Cottages office in town, which we did. We spoke to the individual there, who was unfortunately not able to be much help and didn’t seem familiar with the property, and told us to get back in touch with Sykes, which we did. We got through to a representative, who we explained everything to, and said would call us back. An hour passed before we phoned back to follow up, which was when the number informed us that the phoneline was closed for the evening, which we hadn’t been made aware of beforehand. At this point, I hope you can appreciate we were really upset and felt quite abandoned. We left a message on the emergency line for Sykes, as it was the only number we could find, and in the end booked a hotel room for the evening. We didn’t feel it was right to complain about the house’s condition being unacceptable whilst simultaneously staying there, and wanted to give whoever would respond the opportunity to rectify the situation. We did eventually hear back from the emergency line, who were helpful and told us to keep hold of our receipt to organise reimbursement. We appreciate this gesture, but haven’t heard more about how to actually arrange this. This individual said they would organise a cleaning of the house and maintenance to fix the bulb by the following morning. We did get a call the following morning, from an individual at Sykes, asking us if the situation had been resolved. We went back to the property and were able to see that nothing had changed, which we relayed and were told again it would be resolved as soon as possible. We returned to the house in the evening, and found that the heating had been fixed, but the house wasn’t cleaned and the socket was still hanging off the wall and was hot to the touch. We felt as if nothing was going to change so made the decision to unpack and try and make the most of our stay having already lost out on a quarter of it. We were called again by Sykes who relayed that the lightbulb has been fixed and the heating was working: We were in the room with the lightbulb still hanging off the wall, so confirmed it hadn’t. It wasn’t till the following day that we noted it had been removed. We want to make clear that Sykes does not offer the ability to contact the owner or even indirectly speak to them, which means the owner wasn’t offered the chance to put anything right. What we do hope, however, is clear is how difficult it was to resolve any of the issues that were present, and how let down we felt by the service and the stay. We haven’t ever complained about a stay before, but felt so disappointed and frankly upset that we felt we had to. We would appreciate a response, as well as a response about how to settle reimbursement for the hotel stay.

• "Great accommodation in great location."

  Perfect for access straight into Keswick. Very accommodating for us staying an extra night whilst there. Beds very comfy. Owner has thought of everything, hairdryers etc in bedrooms. Parking for one car, can be tight if next doors cars are big. Can be noisy with deliveries at shop opposite but this was written in listing and we expected this. Would definitely stay again. Note for owner- tap in kitchen constantly drips wasting you a lot of water.

• "Lovely cottage but was spoilt by noise and parking."

  Very awkward to reverse park into tight space. With the car back to plant pots we were just over the white line. Having to leave room for Trespass staff to get past car and next door conservatory the seating area was only about four feet wide. With three chairs, a table and two bags of compost there wasn't much space. Plus the cottage was very cold when we arrived, with all windows left open. Awkward sash windows meant I had to climb on a chair to close them, not good for someone of a certain age.

  Thanks for the feedback. The cottage is advertised as being on the main road in the centre of town, that's why it's so convenient for the shops. We'll move the compost further up our yard and pots back to give more space outside to sit. There's also space to sit out and have a relax, because you've also got the benefit of the large end strip of land to use (marked Bridgedale and Holly Cottage use only). The central heating system is relatively new and so you'll have warmed up fast. We are generous with the heating and don't have a limited control on it because the comfort of our guests is important to us. To make sure you knew checkout was now 9,30am from 9am our caretaker put a note through your door to give you another half an hour in the morning. He wouldn't have minded closing the window for you , when you'd arrived, we're all of a certain age. We're delighted you thought the cottage lovely. It's very popular. We are lucky to have such an exceptional cleaner who goes the extra mile, which everyone greatly appreciates. We hope to welcome you back before long, thanks for staying with us.

• "Lovely cosy cottage close to shops walks and restaurants."

  Very clean on arrival, having a parking space is a bonus too. This is our 2nd visit to Holly cottage. Only issue this stay was the main bedroom the mattress was super hard and protectors on pillows crinkly so we did not sleep well all week but bed hardness is personal preference and unfortunately was uncomfortably hard for us. The cottage is on a main road but that did not bother us as we wore earplugs.

  Thanks for the feedback Barry, I'll organise another mattress and replace the pillow covers straight away. Please note the leaving time has been changed to 9,30am from 9am so the guests have more time in the morning. Best regards Helen Property Owner

  Hello Sandra, it's great to hear you've had a comfortable stay. We had a new boiler installed a few months ago and it's really excellent. I don't have limits set on the heating so guests will always be cosy.

• "This cottage was in an ideal situation in Keswick just seconds from the town and all its amenities."

  Has its own parking space which was not a problem for our Audi estate car, though some complaints were made that it was “tight”. We made many visits to Booths supermarket just round the corner for supplies and also the Co-op supermarket was just across the road. As it’s a terraced cottage right on the road our dog kept barking when people walked past the window, so we had to keep the curtains closed and light on. A very enjoyable stay.

  Parking is an issue though. We were blocked in all week and gave up asking people to move their cars so didn't do any sightseeing. Traffic is noisy so be sure to take earplugs. Other than that it was a pleasant stay

  I did try to phone you but couldn't get through as there was a voicemail message saying it was no longer your phone. The property is on a main street and this is stated in the particulars. I shall leave my contact details incase guests can't contact Sykes in future. I would like to hear from you so please write to Sykes with your current phone number and I'll ring you.

• "Property small garden overgrown."

  Cut head on light fitting on top of the stairs. Noise from Co Op store across the road at 6 am , onwards was diabolical. Informed Sykes while we were there and when we came back but they showed no interest. If I'd known how bad the noise was I would not have booked. This property needs to be advertised with excessive noise .

  Thanks for the feedback. A gardener has been to the sitting area and some summer flowers are going in to the pots as we speak. Unfortunately I've been in hospital so wasn't able to keep the sitting area to its usual colourful displays. However, we should be almost back to normal. You'll see previous feedback mentioning the coop delivery at 6am, but also how handy it is. Two hundred year old cosy cottages are not for everyone. Comments are acted on immediately to keep the cottage lovely and your comments are appreciated. The cottage is in the centre of town but only pedestrians and cars going slowly. There's very few people walking about early morning and in my rear yard you can hear the birds sing its so quiet. Property Owner

  We loved all aspects of the cottage, great kitchen and lounge, bonus of downstairs WC and extra space for kit by the back door. Double room is very spacious and single room is a decent size too with a great bathroom upstairs. Parking spot a bonus, we were out in the car each day as bagging wainwrights further afield and you soon used to the manoeuvre of parking in the tightish space. Would we stay here again - YES. Only slight issue was street noise, which is down to being centrally located and ignorance of others on way home late at night, but in no way should this detract from this fabulous cottage.

  The bus station is just around the corner. Parking space at the back of property along with outdoor seating area. The kitchen is of a good size and very well equipped. Cleaning products, tea towels,oven gloves are all provided. There were even spare bulbs and batteries if needed. In the kitchen there were also cook books available and herbs and spices if you would rather cook for yourself. The lounge was comfortable and I can see that previous reviews have suggested settee uncomfortable. The owner has listened to their customers views as the settee has been changed .

There is a hairdryer in the spacious main bedroom. The whole cottage is colour coordinated in shades of greys and yellows.

  Front of cottage a littlle drab, needs at little TLC. Large kitchen/ diner, which is well l equipped. A bit lacking in work surface and cupboard space. Couldn't open window without climbing on sink or lower blinds. No big problem though.. Large down stairs cloakroom, drying room and boot racks, very useful. Our biggest problem was the lounge, where we, as did other guests, find the furniture very uncomfortable, after a days walking.! We als found the large wooden dresser a bit of a waste of space and it was filled with the owners private mail.

  Positioned opposite the Co-op and behind Booths so very handy for supplies. Access to the parking space at the rear is a bit tight but essential for Keswick, unless you want to pay in the car parks. We have a Quashqai and it fitted just right. On entering the cottage we were pleasantly surprised by the size of accommodation. The kitchen is a great size with everything you would need. The living room is really cosy and has a fab TV with Netflix, but the sofa was a bit small, it is not the sort you can lounge on after a long walk. A nice wide staircase leads upstairs, the master is positioned to the front of the property and is a great size with plenty of wardrobe space and a nice little dressing table. The bed was very comfy! The second bedroom fits a single, it is the quieter of the two rooms with it being at the back. There is also a useful rear porch/boot room and downstairs WC. There were plenty of towels, toilet rolls and cleaning products, the cottage was very clean, warm and cosy. We loved our stay at Holly Cottage and would definitely look to stay again. A couple of points to note; The garden is not enclosed. The Co-op receive deliveries quite early in the morning.

  Thanks for the feedback Helen. Sorry for the late reply. The sofa was replaced a few months ago. It's a good long size so feel free to lounge on it, if you stay again. I've bought new cushions too and now a new armchair is with the carrier, I tried it out in dfs it's very comfortable. The cottage itself is in its own grounds. It owns the yard. Except for the patio area outside the end two cottages and their parking spaces . Make yourselves at home, feel free to enjoy the space and wander about..
