The cottage is well-liked for its peaceful location within walking distance to Keswick and various attractions, though on-street parking may be challenging in high season.
Comfortable beds and a great shower are frequently mentioned, but the steep stairs and downstairs bathroom could pose discomfort, especially at night.
The cottage is equipped with amenities like a dishwasher and washing machine, and offers a full set of maps. However, some guests suggested the addition of a clothes airer, and there was an issue with the heating on arrival.
While guests appreciate the amenities and equipment provided, there are no mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches that would warrant a score in this category.

Very handy for both Keswick and Lingholm. Peaceful location. Stairs are very steep so only suitable for fully mobile people. Would benefit from a clothes airer as we came back wet from a walk and nowhere to hang clothes inside. All in all, we were very happy with our stay and would return.
