“A warm, large but cosy, and great house for 5 adults - would be perfect for larger party too.”

Kitchen large and very clean, with everything provided. Very sociable room. Sitting room long yes, but cosy down the end with the wood burner (May have been a good thing if there were a few logs to start us off with..) Bedrooms super comfy and lovely with the best view of our favourite mountains! Shower pressure perfect in all showers and bath in large main bathroom great after a long walk! ...

Bedrooms super comfy and lovely with the best view of our favourite mountains! Shower pressure perfect in all showers and bath in large main bathroom great after a long walk! A quiet street, just 15 min walk to the lakeside and 6/7mins walk into Keswick. Thank you - 100% recommend this property and hope to be back one day.

“Great location facilities were excellent”

Mrs Burchell August 2019

“Lovely property in a good location.”

Nice and clean and a good size for the family. The only issue we had was with the lack of internet connection. This problem was not resolved throughout our stay because no key was available to a locked cupboard where the router was. This did cause considerable inconvenience.

Ms Cook July 2019

“We were really pleased with Wordsworth house.”

Spotlessly clean. The only minor points l would make are that the 1st floor bedroom needs more storage. The bookcase is of poor quality and no chest of drawers. Beds without heavy frames would give a little more space. There's no bedside cabinet/shelves. A larger, wall mounted mirror would be useful as would a hairdryer. The furniture in the property is, generally, of high quality. Love the lights in the bathroom mirrors! The kitchen was well equipped...you don't have to wash up after each meal. The toliet flush is the main bathroom is inadequate. If you have a dog be aware that the outside space is not fully enclosed. Nothing spoilt our stay.

The house had everything that was listed in the brochure ,situated in a central location for all amenities ideal for families could not fault it the only thing I would say is it could do with a gate but apart from that the property met expectations

“We had a rail in the wardrobe that needed fixing, within half a hour of me calling you had sent someone out and repaired it.”

Great service

Mr Beresford May 2019

“This is a lovely modern conversion to a traditional house, The kitchen is spectacular, superbly equipped and with lots of natural light.”

There were 8 adults in a our group and the house worked perfectly - a really warm, comfortable and sociable space. Keswick is a great little town within easy walking distance of the house and loads of interesting shops , pubs and restaurants. We arrived on Friday and didn't move our cars until Wednesday as there is so much walking to do from the house. Several of us even walked up Skiddaw (over 900m high) from the house. Parking was no issue and there is off road parking for 2 small cars. We can't wait to return.

“Generally very good and any reports were dealt with quickly apart from the last one when “someone”, no-one from our party, turned the hot water off so when we came back from our walk, some of us couldn’t have showers until the water heated up again.”

The maintenance guy had been in that day so not sure if he did this. Am still waiting for a response.

Mrs Semple May 2019

“Absolutely wonderful ,it has to be the best cottage we’ve ever stayed in !”

Spacious and airy with every comfort of home . We all had lovely nights sleep , comfy beds with feather pillows just perfect .we were able to have a bathroom each and the water pressure from the shower was amazing , Lovely surprise was the bowl of complimentary teabags , coffee , drinking chocolate and biscuits ,just what we needed after our long drive. Had big enough parking space for two cars so no worry of trying to find a parking space on the road .i recommend this cottage 100% and we are hoping to return next year .

Mrs Rawson February 2019

“The house was really warm and welcoming.”

The water pressure in the showers were amazing, The only downside was the very lumpy mattresses on the two double beds, we didn’t use the single beds so don’t know if they had same problem. Can I also recommend providing an oven glove in the kitchen too.

- Mrs Rawson, February 2019
Mrs Jones January 2019

“The house was really nice, great location well equipped clean and furnished well.”

But the mattresses on the beds are cheap rubbish and the most uncomfortable I’ve ever been in. I couldn’t stand the pain in my back after the first night so spent the rest of the week sleeping on the settee (which was very comfy) in my opinion they will not get repeat customers to this house because the beds let it down

“This is the second time we’ve stayed in this house and it was just as lovely.”

“Lovely accommodation close to the centre of Keswick.”

Plenty of room for a large number of people. Parking available for one car with road parking for 2nd car.

Mr Gannon September 2018

“House only 5 min walk from centre of Keswick and was clean when we arrived.”

Utilities cupboard and dryer handy for wet boots and jackets. Kitchen well stocked with mugs, plates and pans etc. Would consider going back to this one!

- Mr Gannon, September 2018
Mrs Doyle September 2018

“We have stayed at Wordsworth House in September for the last 3 years.”

The house is lovely and spacious, a good home from home. Ideal location close enough to the town without being too busy.

Ms Davies May 2018

“House was fairly dirty, particularly the en-suite bathrooms and very much the showers.”

For a home that sleeps 8 there is a severe lack of cooking utensils- not enough pans, many sharp knives are broken or not big enough to cut bread. There are also no laundry cleaning products, poor for a house that demands such a high price.

“Fantastic surprise”

I have just had a wonderful surprise weekend away for my Birthday, the house is in a great location just a 2 minute walk from all the amenities of Keswick. The rooms are spacious and managed to fit 8 of us in comfortably. The property was immaculately cleaned and had all the home comfort you would expect. Parking was easy at the side of the house and overall a great place for a lovely break. cant wait to return.

“Home away from Home!”

Wordsworth house is superb! I can't understate this enough. The house is in a brilliant location - walking distance to town, a swimming pool, local Booths, a number of outdoor activities and lovely restaurants. The house in itself is prefect from a family trip - all the rooms are spacious, clean, and comfy!!! There are enough to facilities in the house to allow for a party of 8+ to get ready in the morning with no major fuss. We also visited Wordsworth House with a large dog who really enjoyed himself watching the streets through the windows and the glass doors in the extension. The only downside of our trip was that the beds aren't particularly comfortable - but then again that's a personal preference and it wasn't a huge issue. We would definitely rebook the house again if holidaying in the Lakes with a large group!!

“Family holiday”

Had lovely family holiday here-comfortable, warm house. Easy ,flat, walk into Keswick centre for older generation. Teenagers will love all the flat screens and modern kitchen. Kitchen table only has 6 chairs though cottage sleeps eight. Settees in lounge need re arranging for sociability. Lack of enclosed space outside is not ideal for dogs as patio is near road.

“Spacious cottage; quiet, yet close to all that Keswick has to of”

We have visited Keswick many times; Wordsworth House was a last minute break and a bargain because our half term dates were different to England's. The house was beautifully spacious and the views from the front bedrooms breathtaking. The kitchen was superb and there was plenty of room for the four of us. It was in a quiet back street but very close to Fitz Park and the road into Keswick. We love being able to walk to the shops and Derwent Water. The house was warm and the facilities excellent. It was very useful having the washer and tumble drier after a day in the hills. We enjoyed days walking, a trip to Clip n Climb in Maryport which is great if it's a rainy day and got the bus to Carlisle. The décor was neutral and the furnishings very tasteful. The beds were comfortable and there were TVs everywhere!! The only negative comment we could make is that the sofas in the lounge looked lovely but weren't very comfortable. We had really good service from the rental company and would love to return.

“Great house made a great holiday”

I've said we went in April but can't quite recall what spring month we visited. The weather however was perfect and we came away from Keswick with sun tans. The house is everything as described. The lounge had two very comfy large sofas, exactly what you want after a day on the fells. Perfect family bathroom, spacious doubles and twins. The doubles had small but perfectly formed en-suite. I love to cook, so the combination of a fantastic kitchen, well equipped with Booths supermarket in the town centre meant we all ate very well. The kitchen has two fridges which we found useful, one for food and one for drink! Kitchen also came complete with huge flat screen, Smart Tv as in the living room. We took our dog and she just loved looking out the double glass doors in the back entrance hall. The houses is in an ideal location. Perfect for Latrigg, Walla Crag and further afield right out the door. A short walk on the flat and you're in Keswick town centre. The house has a small boot/coat room that contains the washing machine and tumble drier. If I could make one suggestion to improve the experience for me it would be to make the small outside terrace area secure and dog proof to enable the dog to go outside without a lead, this really is just nitpicking on my behalf though.

“attractive family house”

Very good double bedrooms. Kitchen good, though dining table strangely on view to passers by. Big sofas lumpy and uncomfortable and unusual (anti-social) long lounge with big TV.

“Felt like home from home”

Wordsworth House - what can I say! Fantastic location, central to all amenities, beautifully furnished and finished off to a high spec. It was exactly what we wanted and all eight of us felt so confortable there. The kitchen was a great entertaining area with so much space along with the fab views of the mountains from every room. Would definately return and recommend this property in the future.
