Guests say
Catbells Cottage in Keswick is praised for its excellent location and cosy atmosphere, offering a comfortable base for exploring the town and surrounding areas. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen and the surprise of Christmas decorations, though some noted challenges with parking and heating.
The cottage received mixed feedback on cleanliness. Some guests found it spotless, while others noted issues with kitchen cleanliness, bathroom tidiness, and towel quality. The variance in experiences suggests room for improvement.
The location is highly regarded, being central and convenient for accessing Keswick's Main Street, restaurants, shops, and nearby hikes. Its proximity to town and scenic views are consistent highlights in guest reviews.
Comfort levels varied among guests. While some found the cottage cosy and the beds comfortable, others experienced issues with cold temperatures and uncomfortable beds. The steep stairs were also a concern for some.
Facilities are generally well-received, with mentions of a well-equipped kitchen and the inclusion of a washing machine. However, some guests reported minor maintenance issues like broken oven knobs, light bulbs out, and the need for updates.
There is no sufficient information to assess thoughtfulness as there are no mentions of gifts or special touches beyond the Christmas decorations, which cannot be guaranteed for future guests.
