Riggside

A beautiful property in a stunning location.

The house was perfectly situated in the village of Portinscale. The house was well presented and very clean. Great entertaining space at the back of the house with open plan, kitchen , diner with patio to garden. We were a family group of 8 celebrating a birthday and felt there was so much space and plenty of comfy seating. The kitchen had everything we needed and plenty to accommodate the group. The beds were comfortable, good quality bedding and all had suitable storage. The owner Richard gave us a courtesy call to check everything was in order and explained any issue to give him a ring. We did a very enjoyable scavenger hunt in Keswick town centre which took us all around the town and points of interest / history of Keswick. Although it initially looked quite child friendly we discovered it was more for adults. Check out treasuretrails.co.uk The following day we did the Derwentwater lake walk , approximately 10 mile circular which was fabulous. The weather was perfect which only added to a memorable weekend. I will definitely recommend this property and will book again in the future.

The Best Sykes Cottage that we have been in

This was such a beautiful cottage in an amazing location.

The garden space was a real bonus for us in some great weather.

Riggside is a beautiful house, so well maintained, comfortable and clean.

It was the perfect base for us to enjoy a lovely family Christmas. Richard was a great host, communicative, friendly and provided lots of thoughtful little extras which were really appreciated. I also loved the area around Keswick and definitely plan to visit again in the future. Many Thanks.

This is such a lovely house in a great location, the views are outstanding.

Everything in the house is of good standard and has everything you need for your stay. We did not want to leave this fantastic property one of the best we have stayed at. Very well maintained and clean, including the lovely garden areas. The owner rang us before we came to check we had received directions on how to get their, and was very easy to communicate with. All in all a great place to holiday, even the weather was kind to us. We would not hesitate to come back.

We wanted a property that was convenient for Keswick and suitable for a mixed party of family and friends, Riggside was excellent for this.

Great parking, quality fixtures and fittings and plenty of room. Fabulous dining table to easily seat us all. Any queries were quickly attended to by the owner. For the less able, the approach to the house is quite steep and the grassed area of the back garden isn't level but nothing spoiled our stay.

A lovely property with the most amazing views, short walk into Keswick and in a quiet location.

Very well equipped and comfortable, fresh and smart. Lovely outside space for children. Very nice decor, even dvd's, magazines, books and maps. Everything has been thought of. We had a lovely stay.

Absolutely brilliant place to stay in the Lakes.

Only negative was the ceramic hob was not hot enough, so it took 4 times longer for food to cook

Excellent holiday house, perfect for our gathering of old friends.

Great location with lovely walks from the door and easy access to the Lake. Highly recommended.

We loved our stay here, the house is well equipped for groups of guests which is great.

So often places don’t have enough chairs/seats etc for the amount of people staying but we had everything we needed. Location was ideal as was the pub at the end of the road!

Great house.

Fantastic views. 20 mins walk into Keswick. Host very helpful. Stayed in quite a few places in Keswick. This one the best. !!!

We loved the house.

Perfect for our three generations family trip. Clean and well equipped.

A great house in a fantastic location.

Brilliant views to the front, especially the main and single bedrooms. Walking out of the front door you immediately feel emersed in the amazing Lake District scenery. Spotlessly clean and welcoming, thank you.

Fantastic property that was clean , tidy and had everything that we required.

Gorgeous views ( as you would always expect ) but we loved our stay at Riggside and really enjoyed exploring Portinscale again

Beautiful house in a perfect location, lots of space, the only small thing I would say is the bath towels were tiny, some good sized bath sheets would be ideal, can’t wait to return in the summer

I would highly recommend staying here.

Excellent location and the house is superb. Will stay here again.

Spacious, clean and comfortable property in a fantastic location in the Lake District.

Would definitely stay again.

Lovely property, clean and well maintained, beautiful views, good location only 10-15 minutes' walk from the centre of Keswick.

We had such a lovely time in this well equipped, delightful property.

We particularly loved the open plan kitchen/diner/sitting area, and hardly used the lounge! Portinscale is lovely and quiet, and we enjoyed the pub at the end of the road, and also the tea room round the corner.

Beautiful views in an elevated traffic-free location in Portinscale but with easy access either by car or on foot to Keswick.

The house was clean, spacious and comfortable and we felt that the owners cared about our holiday. The grassy area at the front was a great place for the children to run about and let off steam. We were lucky with the weather and found plenty of things to fill each day, including climbing Cat Bells and cycling along the old rail track to Threlkeld. We would not hesitate to return to this house in the future.

Lovely house with amazing views to wake up to!

Well equipped, clean, convenient location! Richard was also kind enough to give recommendations of local attractions (walks, restaurants)!

Wonderful house and very well equipped.

Beds very comfortable. Situation was perfect for many walks .

Lovely property with great views , lovely stroll into town and close to a lovely pub, had a great stay and loads of space for 8 of us , can’t wait for the next stay

Beautiful house, we have all had a wonderful and relaxing time in the Lake District! We found something suitable for all.

Once again we have had a wonderful family holiday in one of the Heart of the Lakes properties! See you next year if not before!

I wish my house was as lovely as this! A very comfortable homely property! Heart of the Lakes were happy to help with anything.
