A comfortable, cosy and well equipped cosy, conveniently situated close to Keswick and bus stops. Everything good except the extractor fan in the kitchen did not work and the shower kept dripping after use.

Bobbin Cottage was lovely and well equiped. However, there was a problem with one of the bedrooms and cottages.com did not deal with at all well. The response I got over a 24 hour period was unhelpful and the issue was not resolved. This is not a criticism of the cottage but the management company. I will not be booking anything through cottages.com again.
