"A wonderful little cottage, furnished like a home rather than a holiday let. Well equipped kitchen, all the pans and kit that you need to eat-in. Good central location, parking for Volvo estate..never going to happen, but plenty of free parking just up the road. Booked last minute, not what we would have chosen but it worked out ok. Nice and clean. Just a couple of minor complaints.....they want you to water the pot plants but they can’t be bothered to remove the weeds that you have to step over at the front door...same as Wendover in Stanger Street! Only 2 x internal doors, bedroom 2 and the bathroom...therefore, between the living room and bedroom 1...no doors...anyone watching tv or using the kitchen...all open to the main bedroom, not good. New doors front and rear, not like the stable door shown on the photos...they may be thermally efficient composite doors but they are poor at sound insulation...cars driving along the main road....loud and clear.All in all an nice, clean, well equipped cottage....not what we would chose again but perfect for what most people need. Thank you."

"Arrival at the cottage was easy as knowing the area well it was easy to find. The parking space is tight but adequate but you might find someone in the space if our experience is anything to go by. if you do, try asking in the barbers shop two doors up!The cottage is excellently placed for quick access to Keswick town centre and was clean and reasonably well equipped apart from the lack of towels. The road noise drops significantly over night and did not interfere with sleep in any way so no worries there.Everything worked well and the heating was a godsend to dry out our clothing after 2.5 hours in the pouring rain at Honister.Apart from the parking thing everything was good so would definitely think of using this property again, we usually use Ambleside as a base but this property has changed our minds and we will return."

"The house could do with a thorough clean. On the face of it it looks clean, but it could do with furniture moving and vacuuming thoroughly and the kitchen given a good clean, the cupboard fronts were a bit greasy and dirty. The heating thermostat was not user friendly. I would replace it with a dial where you can turn the heating down or off. I am a woman of a certain age and found it awfully hot and had to turn radiators off, however as the thermostat was stuck on 21 degrees the boiler kept going trying to get the room up to 21. A terrible waste of gas. We have stopped as this property for many years snd the bathroom light switch is still in need of replacing. Having said all this we do love our stays."

"A great located bungalow for getting to Keswick, out in the hills and Derwent Marina. The decor is very old fashioned and there is a musty smell to the house but once you get over that the lay out and space is great for storing kit etc. Cleanliness was an issue, mold on the walls in the Master bedroom, glasses that needed cleaning before use! With a little updating this could be a fantastic property, we would stay again due to its location and layout but it does need updating. Wi-fi would also be a bonus (but it is clear that the house doesn’t have this when we booked). The ‘Chalet’ Cafe in Portinscale which is in walking distance is fantastic and a great amenitie to have so close by."

"Had a great time in Keswick. S70343 is well equipped and a great base in Keswick.The only issues we had are:1. My elderly, but still mobile, father in law suggested that the hand rail on the stairs leading to the first floor should be on the other side and similar to the one on the second set of stairs. This would greatly help people with reduced mobility in getting up and down the stairs.2. The heating/water timer in the main bedroom on the 2nd floor was broken and constantly "on". It made a noise that made it difficult to sleep at night. This was replaced on the 5th day of our holiday after we reported it to the office. It would have been nice for it to have been sorted out sooner."
