We loved staying at Bay Cottage. Lovely spacious cottage. We managed to get parked very close to the house most days and just round the corner a couple of times when we were late back.

Have been visiting two or three times a year for the last few yearsHowever the cost of the week in May seems to increase by about £100 every year and we now feel that this is not worth it or had been justified by noticeable improvements

Lovely cottage. Very clean! Especially since it allows dogs. We were pleasantly surprised how clean the place was. It felt spacious and cosy. Excellent heating system- when it got cold all.we have to do is adjust the temperature on the dialer and ot got warm within minutes. Plenty of luxurious towels. Plenty of storage. Few minutes walk to centre of Keswick and Fitz park for a very important pump truck for our children.Small courtyard at the back great to store bikes.Felt very safe. So quiet. Really loved it and didn't want ro leave. Owner approachable and very kind.Woul strongly recommend.
