Guests say
Jame's Cottage in Keswick is praised for its excellent central location, spacious rooms, and well-equipped kitchen, making it a convenient base for exploring the area. Guests appreciate the cosy atmosphere and attractive décor. While many found the property clean and comfortable, some noted issues with cleanliness, maintenance, and mattress comfort. Parking is off-site, which may be less convenient for families or in wet weather. Small touches such as welcome packs and essentials were occasionally missed, but overall, the cottage offers a pleasant stay with responsive management.
Several guests found the cottage clean and tidy, but a significant number reported issues such as dust, unwashed bedding, and dirty appliances, requiring extra cleaning on arrival. Cleanliness standards appear inconsistent.
The location is highly praised, being very close to Keswick town centre, shops, and supermarkets. The only drawback is the lack of on-site parking, which some found inconvenient.
Guests generally found the cottage comfortable and cosy, with spacious rooms and pleasant décor. However, several reviews mention uncomfortable mattresses and pillows, which affected sleep quality.
The cottage is well-equipped with a good kitchen and bathrooms, but some guests experienced maintenance issues such as broken appliances, radiators, and plumbing. Essentials like toilet paper and bin bags were sometimes missing.
Some guests noted the absence of welcome packs or basic provisions such as milk and toilet paper. While management was responsive to issues, thoughtful extras are not guaranteed.

Sarah
Great location and property, exactly what we needed. Just a shame there was a lack of things in the house; toilet roll, bin bags etc. Parking spot outside the house would make it better or a clear place you can unpack/pack the car. Windows were a struggle to open at the front and the bathroom one wouldn’t stay open once we’d managed it.

Nice property. Very centrally located. Unfortunately having to use allocated car parks that a distance from property, especially with children and rain, mean that we wouldn’t stay again.
