Guests find the beds comfortable and the kitchen well-stocked, though some mention narrow stairs and parking challenges. Overall, it offers a pleasant stay with a few minor inconveniences.
Guests are generally pleased with the cleanliness, describing the accommodation as clean and tidy, which suggests good housekeeping standards.
The cottage's location is highly regarded, being quiet yet very close to the centre of Keswick, making it great for walking and accessing restaurants and pubs.
The beds are noted to be very comfortable with lovely bedding. However, some guests mention the stairs could be problematic for those with mobility issues, and the noise from the main road could be a slight disturbance.
Facilities are generally good with a well-stocked kitchen, but there are comments about the need for an extractor fan in the bathroom and inconsistent cold water tap function, indicating some maintenance issues.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.
