"Double bed mattress uncomfortable, even found a kitchen cupboard door front under the mattress !Kitchen cupboards and equipment dirty, what we used we washed first. Kitchen poorly equipped, pans very old and in a bad state, but you do get 16 wine glasses !Cottage warm and a good location."

"my husband and myself have been to this cottage twice before for the price it makes an ideal location for a base to adventure out to all the local area and towns"

"Good shower. Warm property. Spacious.Unfortunate that other things let it down. The place could do with a deep clean especially the kitchen. Stain on mattress protector was clearly old, which indicates it hasn't been laundered. One of the pillows smelled so bad we couldn't use. Bedroom window doesn't open properly because the curtain pole is across it. If this was a means of escape in the event of a fire the pole would need to be pulled from the wall. The bathroom sink leaks so care had to be taken to avoid slipping. The property is for sale so can understand why the owners don't want to invest but perhaps it shouldn't be let as a holiday cottage."

"Would have scored more but for the excessive damp in the bedrooms especially the main and the really noisy boiler which was situated in the main bedroom ."

"The place is a little dated, but not too expensive with respect to the location, so for somewhere to crash for the week whilst enjoying this wonderful part of the world and within walking distance of Keswick town centre amenities what's not to like."

"Needs upgrading. Basic kitchen equipment missing. Heating worked upstairs and not downstairs. The cottage is currently for sale which may explain this."

"Could not fault the place easy parking for 2 cars pub across the road 10 min walk into town and lake"

"Cottage was well equipped, clean and tidy .We were thankful of the heating and were cosy throughout our stay .Beds were comfortable , bedding fresh and we slept well .Enjoyed the refurbished bathroom . Easy walk into town and very convenient dog friendly walking area just metres from the door which was very important to us with two dogs and we had not realised that outside area was not enclosed. Some road noise but wonderful to hear the adjacent river at night and some wonderful starry skies from the cottage . Sufficient off road parking for 2 cars . Best to leave the cars and enjoy exploring on foot . Lots of walks for all abilities from the door Ideal !"

"Our only problem was that there was no heating on when we arrived and it was ice cold. Could not get the boiler started and had to call emergency number. Help arrived promptly and got heating working but it took time to warm through.Otherwise no problems and hope to book again in the autumn."

"This was ideal for a winter break. I came up with my family for Sat and Sun, and then I used some annual leave I had due to come back alone for some walking for another couple of days. Excellent location, big lounge and nice deep bath. We arrived on 1st December and I thank the owners for putting up Christmas decorations, which was exciting for our children. Also, the Cumbrian Boggart in the friendly Twa Dogs Inn over the road is a great story."

"Before arrival we were concerned about previous reviews of uncleanliness, but we had no issues. On arrival the cottage was clean and warm and comfortable. The kitchen is a little dated, but well stocked (although personally I would find a tumble drier more useful than a dishwasher). The cottage is a bit further from the town centre than we would usually choose but this is reflected in the price. My only recommendation is that the owners install WiFi"

"Excellent base for walking holiday a lot of walks straight from the doorstep ,never used our car all week. Only one complaint about accommodation the grill did not work on the cooker apart from that it was an excellent cottage."
