“Swinside was a very nice place to spend a few days.”

It was immaculate on arrival and has been simply but tastefully modernised. All appliances were of high standard and detailed instructions on how to operate them were left in a folder. Due to the Covid crisis the cleaning regime has been modified and again detail instructions were left for both guest use and also to inform the guest what the cleaner is doing to keep things safe. Sanitiser and spray cleaner are all provided. It gave such a feeling of confidence in the property. I'd definitely recommend Swinside.

The location is great too. We had a brilliant time, thank you

Mrs Fiddler January 2020

“This lovely cottage was perfect for our party of 2 adults and pet dog.”

There was an extra single bed in the bedroom if needed. The location was right near the centre of Keswick and walks right from the door. Parking is a bit tight in this area but we had no problems finding a space on the street. The cottage was lovely and cosy & had everything you need.

Mr Morley December 2019

“The cottage was hard to fault.”

We were delighted with the quality of the accommodation and all the fixtures and fittings. It is situated conveniently close to the shops and pubs. We, including our dog Lady, would highly recommend this cottage.

“Great week as always at swinside, stayed here many times and will def be back”

Mr Greenway September 2019

“Swinside is a fabulous property.”

It is a credit to its owners, very well equipped with high quality fixtures and fittings. Extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. The bath was a welcome luxury after a day’s walking. In the morning the shower was exhilarating, hot and powerful. Great location, easy to access and a short stroll from town. The only downside is the roadside parking as spaces can be in short supply.

- Mr Greenway, September 2019
Mrs Brown September 2019

“We have stayed at this property several times because it's so good.”

Location is good.Not too far to walk down to the lake, theatre, cinema, park and around town, Very well equipped and furnished with good quality items. lots of little extras provided catering for every need and a very comfortable bed. It ticks all our boxes thanks to very thoughtful owners. Just love it.

Mr Slysz August 2019

“Bath showers are awkward to step into and to maintain balance, a walk-in shower would be safer and more comfortable, especially for elderly people.”

The maps provided of the LD were basic and didn't really provide an indication where to go. Some clear walking routes of the area would have been helpful. The lack of roadside parking availability was problematic. We had to search 15-20 minutes every afternoon to find a space in the proximity of the property (not the agency's fault). In terms of value for money, the cottage is in a very good location and it is peak summer season, nevertheless the price for the 4 nights, we found on the high side. When comparing to eg Park Hotel with full breakfast included, price of cottage wasn't really that competitive. However, we still had an enjoyable stay and made the most of the gorgeous area of natural beauty. Accommodation for us was a secondary factor of our holiday.

Gleave May 2019

“Lovely cottage in a great location, close to everything you would need.”

Comfortable & clean. Close to some lovely walks & very assessable to other lakes & attractions. The only thing that was tricky was the parking.

- Gleave, May 2019
Ms Stephens April 2019

“What a fantastic break we had!”

Swinside Cottage is beautifully appointed, warm, comfortable and it would suit anyone who wants to be in the heart of Keswick. From furniture to crockery, everything was high quality and after much discussion with my husband, we decided on a score of 11 out of 10! Very impressed indeed!

“Nearby parking can be tricky.”

Good position to be in for walks and town. Cottage comfy and welcoming, decorated and furnished to high standard.

Mr Summerill September 2018

“After been out for the day we totally chilled out in cottage just like home from home ,our dog Indi actually settled in straight away which wasn't normal for us she normally walks the floor all night but she crashed out in her own bed all night and rest of the week ,first time for us ,the cottage is a credit to the owner .”

We would definitely go back to this cottage again.

- Mr Summerill, September 2018
Mrs Brown September 2018

“Perfect location.”

Not too far from town centre, parks and lake. Great for a stroll or a meal /drink in the evening. Couldn't fault the accommodation. Owners had furnished and equipped the cottage very tastefully and to a high standard. The bed was really comfortable and much appreciated after a good days walking. We have spent three holidays there and will continue to do so in the future as it most definitely ticks all our boxes.

- Mrs Brown, September 2018
Mr Homewood August 2018

“The cottage was in a perfect location for our holiday.”

Close to the lake , town and walks. Lovely and cosy and very quiet all day and night.

- Mr Homewood, August 2018
Mr Studholme August 2018

“The cottage was fabulous, lovely size that we would of loved it for our own home.”

But it would of lacked space for all our clothes especially our daughter's. (Who has special needs.) Would go again and again. THANKYOU for making our stay enjoyable.

- Mr Studholme, August 2018
Miss Humphries July 2018

“Great location in centre of Keswick, really close on foot for everything we needed.”

Only used the car to drive to other areas outside of Keswick. Initially concerned as previous reviews mentioned parking problems - however we didn't have any issues parking outside for the entire week. Power shower was fantastic and the beds were wonderful. Although very small, the kitchen everything we needed to prepare all our food for the week. Only minor comment on the house is that the leather sofas are not particularly comfy - especially after long days walking! Strong wifi was a bonus. We love Keswick and will certainly be back - this trip is becoming a yearly tradition for me and my mum :)

- Miss Humphries, July 2018
Mrs Brown June 2018

“Excellent property.”

Ideal location. Suited the two of us. Furnished to a very high standard and lots of thought had gone into ensuring we had everything we needed. We couldn't have asked for more. Our second stay here and we have another week booked for later in the year. Can't wait! B & G from Wolverhampton 9.06.18-16.06.18

Mrs Ellison June 2018

“The only problem was parking ,had to search for parking spaces but would go back again it was a lovely cottage and only five minute walk to town centre.”

- Mrs Ellison, June 2018
Mrs Mcmahon May 2018

“The cottage is in a perfect position for walking to the shops and so quiet even although you are surrounded by properties.”

Fantastic place all round.

“Fantastic cottage, cosy and well equipped.”

Ideally situated for town, lake, parks, shops, pubs. Beautiful refurbishment recently. Will def be back.

- Dr Bryans, March 2018
Mr Thompson March 2018

“Parking outside the property is a serious problem during the day.”

Basically you just won't as shopworkers in Keswick park outside the town and walk in to work. I can only assume that you airbrushed out all the cars in the picture of Swinside as cars are parked all day (workers) and night (occupiers). Our first time booking a property in a town and probably the last as I like to be parked fairly close to the property at all times. I am a keen recycler but all items had to be placed into purple plastic bags of which non were provided in the property, you were expected to go to the council offices to get them. Thats a no-no. We were on holiday and not traipsing around town looking for the relevant office. We will not be back at Swinside.

- Mr Thompson, March 2018

“Fantastic cottage”

Been two years in a row now to this cottage and love it. Lovely refurb in early 2018 just adds to what was already a great cottage. Great facilities, comfy beds, good WiFi, well laid out and 5 mins from town centre and banks of dereentwater. Will def be back

“Fab last minute break”

Our third stay at Swinside in 4 years! It was great to be back in the cottage which is like a home away from home. It's perfectly situated for the short 5 min walk into Keswick town centre and all the amenities and to go walking up the fells or out for a drive to other parts of the wonderful Lake District. We made full use of the fully equipped kitchen this time cooking most nights and enjoying cosy nights in before a late night meander for our pooch to stretch his legs as there is no garden at the property. If I had to be picky I'd say that the downstairs could do with a spruce up paint wise, some parts are looking dirtier than others, which of course is only natural given the cottage is both dog and child friendly. However this certainly would not put us off coming back to Swinside next time we're in Keswick!

- SunderlandLed, March 2017
Dr Bryans March 2017

“Fantastic cottage, very well equipped and comfortable.”

Cosy and warm with easy access to town and Derwent Water within a 5 min walk. Good WiFi. Lovely recent refurb of what was already a great cottage. Been twice now and will def be back.

“Wonderful cottage with everything you need”

Have just come back from having a wonderful time in Keswick. Stayed at this gorgeous cottage which was very clean, tidy and had the most comfortable beds! It is fitted out with everything you need and has been renovated to the highest standard. Great pictures on the walls too! Thank you very much for a wonderful stay!

“Happy couple with a happy dog”

Really clean and well maintained and with everything you could want for a stay in Keswick. Everything worked perfectly (wifi, shower, heating, tv etc etc) and we will definitely be shortlisting this and booking again. Comfy bed with almost no outside noise. Slept really well. Well located just a short walk to the centre. We managed to park right outside but if you cant then park somewhere close and be patient as spaces will become available. This company are excellent to deal with.

“This cottage is compact, comfortable and well equipped, a little”

We have booked with Lakes Cottage Holidays before and again everything was simple & very straightforward. The cottage was warm, compact and had everything we needed for our weekend away with the dog. It has been renovated to a high standard, comfortable and tasteful furnishings, heating was easy to control, as was the shower. It was located close to the town centre, just a short walk away, we love Keswick and feel its our second home! We hope to return to this lovely cottage again soon.

“Modern, clean with everything you would need”

Lovely traditional cottage but with a modern and bright interior. Perfect size and loved the kingsize bed with a really comfy mattress. 5 minutes walk from town centre but peaceful and quiet. 10 minutes walk from Castle Wood which was beautiful with Bluebells everywhere and perfect for walking the dogs - also had a handy bin close to the entrance for dog waste. Would love to stay in Swinside again and will be looking to book next year.

“Superb stay in Keswick”

Just back from a 5 day stay in Keswick. This is our fourth visit to Keswick in 3 years but the first time as dog owners. B&B's that we had previously stayed in didn't accept dogs so we tried to find somewhere we could use as a base that was modern and close to the centre of Keswick that would accept Oscar our 2 year old Golden Retriever. Swinside was the perfect pace for us to stay. Well equipped with all the mod-cons and the most comfortable bed after a long day walking the fells. It was a 2 minute walk to the town centre and parking was not a problem. It was quiet at night-time and all the local residents were lovely. We had a wonderful time and we are planning when we will be able to return again and look forward to Swinside being our holiday cottage each time we visit Keswick.

“Lovely cottage in a convenient location”

Booking through Lakes Cottage Holidays was efficient as always. We chose Swinside because it was available to book in advance for a short break and we were not disappointed. The cottage is clean and comfortable and is in a quiet, but convenient location. The walking maps were a nice touch.

“Wonderful, well presented,quality pet friendly accomodation”

I was amazed and very pleased with the high standard of the accomodation, especially when it's pet friendly- the photo's really are of the current condition of the accomodation. In the lounge the heavy duty lined curtains co-ordinate with, rug, cushions, roller blind. Wi-fi easily accessed.The kitchen is well equipped with white goods, cutlery and Denby crockery. Bedroom- king size bed with memory foam mattress, duvets, throws, new carpet with thick underlay, wall mounted tv. Bathroom- spotlessly clean -as was the whole property. No problem parking and neighbours very friendly. Needn't have worried about forgetting anything- the owners have everthing there-- from tape measure to note paper.
