This was the 2nd year in a row that we have stayed at the Plosh, on my last visit I posted that it was clean but needed a deep clean, this year it was a lot cleaner, there was only one small problem, there was no signal on the tv, possibly the arial, although only for early morning or late evening, the Plosh is perfectly placed in Keswick, 100 yards from the high street, and yet in a quiet area.costs include parking too, would I recommend or stay again, ABSOLUTELY!!

Great location. There were a few problems at the beginning of our stay, but once we discussed them with the Keswick office they fixed them. We found quite a few old copwebs around the house which the cleaner had missed. My partner is 6ft 3in so had to duck going from the lounge to the kitchen or he would pump his head.

Had had a lovely time at 4 the Plosh very central and very quirky cottage. Downside- from the surface looked clean but really needs a deep clean. Lots of spiders webs with dead spiders, dead wasps and flies on one of the window sills in livingroom. One of the blinds in the livingroom didn't open, front door curtain coming down. Radiator in the bathroom thick with dust, sink in bathroom wouldn't drain away very quickly and filled up very quickly, cupboard doors in kitchen need cleaned. Stripped the bed when leaving as I always do when visiting a cottage and there was stains on the mattress protector. This is not a bad review as I would visit again just a critical review of the cleaners cleanliness. .Didn't think it was up to a satisfactory clean. I would certainly visit again as had a fab time but cleaners need to be putting more of an effort in. There is another few things but will just leave it there for now.
