Perfect for a couple with a dog. Boot room very useful. If you are tall, mind your head through the doorways ! Very cosy. Will return.

"The property location was the best and the accommodation was spot on , If I had to pick a fault it would be the heating in the bathroom was none existent and this time of the year it was very cold."
But apart from that it was very nice.
Thanks for your feedback. The lack of heating in the bathroom was due to the heated towel rail which needed bleeding. This has since been rectified. Glad you enjoyed your stay otherwise. Property Owner

"Cosy well equipped and maintained cottage, excellent quiet location only a few hundred metres from centre of Keswick."
Loading & unloading of the car can be done outside and Parking permit included allows parking in the main car parks located within a few minutes walk, great communication from the owners on this. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Latch Cottage.

"Details of the cottage, and communication with the owners were very good."
The cottage was easy to find and well-presented. It had most facilities required although no bread bin and no egg cups. The towel rail in the bathroom had electrical and water connections but was not on and there was no obvious way of switching it on. I moved the airer from the utility room on the lower ground floor to the bathroom to ensure that towels could be aired. On arrival, soon found that the plug hole in the bath was restricted and water was only going down very slowly. After consultation with the owner, I bought some chemical drain cleaner and left it in situ over night - this cured the problem. This problem should have been obvious to the previous occupier of the cottage, and presumably wasn't picked up during the cleaning of the cottage at changeover time. A few days later, I awoke to find no hot water. I contacted the owner again and he arranged for a plumber to fix the problem but this wasn't until the next morning. On my last day, I woke again up to find no hot water and the gas boiler displayed the same fault code. So out of seven mornings in the cottage, only had hot water on four of those. I would have thought that a service contract should be in place to fix such a problem rapidly and correctly.

Comfortable and well maintained. Although it fronts onto a road traffic noise was not intrusive.
