Guests say
Brundholme Glen is praised for its excellent location just a short walk from Keswick town centre and Fitz Park, making it ideal for dog owners and those seeking easy access to local amenities. Guests appreciate the secure parking, well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable living spaces. While the cottage is clean and functional, several reviews mention that the décor and furnishings are dated and some maintenance issues exist. Overall, it offers good value as a practical base for exploring Keswick, especially for families and pet owners.
Most guests found the cottage clean and tidy on arrival, though a few noted missed details such as unclean drawers, dusty blinds, and a slight dog smell. Overall, cleanliness is generally satisfactory but could be improved with more attention to detail.
The location is consistently highlighted as a major strength, with easy access to Keswick town centre, parks, and riverside walks. Parking is convenient, and the setting is ideal for both families and dog owners.
Guests found the cottage comfortable overall, with good heating and hot water. However, several mentioned very firm beds and dated furniture, which affected sleep quality for some. The living areas are generally cosy, but some updating would enhance comfort.
The cottage is well-equipped with kitchen essentials and TVs in bedrooms, but several minor maintenance issues were reported, such as leaking taps, broken fridge drawers, and outdated TVs. Facilities are functional but would benefit from refurbishment and modernisation.
Guests noted a lack of thoughtful extras such as welcome packs, soap, or shower gel. While some properties offer these touches, they are not guaranteed at this cottage. Quick responses to maintenance issues were appreciated.

The location of the cottage is perfect for a short stroll through beautiful parks to Keswick. The added bonus of parking is good. The cottage although a little tired is well equipped. We had an issue with the TV in the lounge which we did manage to resolve but had the same issues when we last visited the cottage. There were a couple of other issues that we are addressing with Cottages.com but would still recommend the cottage and Cottages.com too.
