Guests say
3 Catherine Cottages in Keswick is a cosy and well-liked holiday rental with its own parking. Guests appreciate its quiet yet central location, warm atmosphere, and proximity to local amenities and walking routes. While some find the decor dated and the kitchen tight for four adults, the cottage's charm and the convenience of parking are frequently praised. The presence of thoughtful touches, such as a coffee machine and books, adds to the welcoming feel of the property.
Most guests found the cottage to be clean, with a welcoming atmosphere. However, a few guests mentioned issues with cleaning standards, such as a smell of fish and a bag of dirty laundry left outside, which suggests room for improvement.
The cottage is consistently praised for its excellent location; quiet yet within walking distance to Keswick town centre and nearby walking routes. The convenience of the location is a highlight for many guests.
Guests describe the cottage as cosy and comfortable, with a warm and homely feel. Some concerns were raised about the size of the double bed and the breakfast area feeling cramped for four adults.
The cottage is well-equipped with a coffee machine and large TV, but guests noted a lack of basic items like toilet rolls, bottle openers, and sufficient cutlery. Maintenance issues like a non-working upstairs toilet were also mentioned.
While guests have mentioned thoughtful touches like a coffee machine and books, there is only one mention of a gift (wine in the fridge), which does not provide enough information to assess consistency or guarantee of such gestures.

Wow. First impressions do count. Was very clean. And smelt clean. Kitchen was very good had everything. Loved the nice touch 2 bottles of wine in the fridge. Christmas tree in front room and a decent size tv. Lovely gas fire in front room. Nice double bed with a topper on made it very comfortable. And 2 single beds which also comfortable. Parking was easy. Very quiet area. Loads of books and maps etc. Bathroom was lovely nice hot shower very powerful shower head. Prefer gas. Had a problem with the radiators but soon sorted them out just a lot of air in them. Brought my own tool to sort them out. Apart from that no other issues. Would love to book again for next Christmas. So near to everything but just enough away for some peace. Mama Mia take away very nice food. The George good food and beer, The main chippy fish and chips Keswickian I think it's called. Packhorse all great... the kings arms small but nice for a drink. Keswick lights for Christmas was beautiful.

Everything was fine but there was no toilet rolls on arrival. We had to go toilet roll shopping at 9 o’clock in the evening.
