"This is a lovely cottage."
Thank you for the generous welcome pack it was much appreciated by all
The cottage is in a great location, We did walks from the door. Keswick only few miles away for shops.
Nice and clean lovely decoration has everything you need. Highly recommend.
After seeing a comment on reviews about the parking space I was concerned but there is plenty space for a large car or 4 by 4 and the space is directly off the road no long reverse required. Would love to return.

"We have just returned from a one week stay at The Smithy in Borrowdale."
On arrival, there was a very generous welcome pack (thank you very much). The property was very clean, comfortable, had everything we needed and is in a very beautiful location. There are plenty of walks that you can do from the doorstep and Keswick is also only a very short drive away. The ferry from the Lodore jetty is a 15 minute walk from the cottage, which is handy for getting over to Hawse End for Cat Bells or just to enjoy a trip round the lake. This is possibly the best property we have stayed at over the years and we can’t wait to return.

"Fantastic cottage."
In a lovely location (surrounded by sheep, but short walk to bar/hotel). Quirky, but in a good way. Comfy bed. Everything you need for a few days walking. Welcome pack was very welcome (and sparkling!) Could do with somewhere to hang, dry and air wet walking kit. Otherwise perfect place to stay.

"A wonderful cottage!"
The Smithy is in a fantastic location: rural and peaceful, with stunning views and walks from the door, yet only a few miles to Keswick. The cottage has everything you could need: comfy furniture, efficient heating and hot water, brilliantly equipped kitchen, WiFi and smart TV. The off-road parking is also a bonus. We will definitely return!

"We had a lovely week at The Smithy."
When we arrived the house was spotless and welcoming.
The Smithy is in an ideal location for walking and climbing no driving required. We used the car once visiting Booths in Keswick for provisions.
The Smithy is well equipped with everything needed for your stay.
I loved the courtyard garden to sit and read after a long walk.
I have already recommended The Smithy to family and friends.
We will be visiting again.

"Hi,
We always stay at the Lodore Falls when staying at Keswick and this was our first time in a cottage."
We couldn’t have been happier. The cottage was perfect for us! Loved every minute of our stay. Perfect location and we had great weather to. A few points which may be worth mentioning for people staying for the first time
1 How to use the log burner. No instructions
2 How to use the hob. No instructions
3 Maybe bring fire lighters with you if staying for a few days
4 Parking is tight if you have a 4x4 but is doable
These are the only suggestions we could think of! Our stay was perfect and will definitely be staying again soon.
Thanks

"Wonderfully comfortable and convenient overall."
Beautiful location. We felt we had enough privacy, despite the proximity to other houses. The tiny patio/garden is hidden and perfectly oriented to catch the sun. A peaceful place for a relaxing breakfast!
The bedrooms were v comfortable esp the spacious master bedroom & we really appreciated the shiny new kitchen esp the dishwasher and ample freezer and fridge space.
Thank you for a great holiday!
