  • "The cottage is beautiful, exactly as the photos show and very in keeping plus has all the mod cons and more."

    It is a minute walk to the main central area in Keswick where we visited many of the pubs and restaurants and local shops. We parked in the long stay central car park which is only a few minutes walk, but were able to park outside for a couple of minutes to take our bags out of the car. Keswick is immaculate and although it is very busy with tourists it’s not overwhelming like a number of other tourist hot spots in the Lakes. There are so many lovely shops and cafes and all very tempting. We loved our time in the cottage and will definitely recommend. The football table in the garden shed was good fun also.

    What a wonderful detailed review - thank you! We're absolutely delighted you loved the cottage and found it true to the photos. It's fantastic that you made the most of Keswick's pubs, restaurants and shops, and we're thrilled our little table football table added some extra fun to your stay. We'd be delighted to welcome you back anytime, and thank you for recommending us Property Owner

    Car park only 3 minutes walk away and temporarily accessible by car to drop off luggage. We have used it for several years to attend Convention. Owners friendly and helpful. Facilities excellent.

    We have stayed here twice now and would recommend. It has been lovingly restored and is a comfortable, well-equipped house.

    Thank you for choosing to stay with us twice now!

  • "Lovely house in a great location, we loved the proximity to town."

    We thought the scenery was beautiful and we did some lovely walks, and enjoyed the local bus services to get about. Plenty of good shops and places to eat, we really liked Keswick. The only minor downside is that there is no parking at the property, the owners did however arrange parking for one car on nearby car parks.

    Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We're so glad you enjoyed the proximity to town and made the most of the beautiful scenery and walks. The local bus services are indeed brilliant for exploring. Thanks for understanding about the parking situation - it is a challenge in Keswick, we are going to look to see if we can update our communications regarding this too. You'd be warmly welcomed back anytime. Thanks again Property Owner
