We had a comfortable stay at Lavender Cottage. We appreciated the thoughtful touches including provision of some kitchen essentials. Comfortable living area and beds. A real home from home. Stairs were a little bit of a struggle but it is an older property. We had awfully wet weather so a tumble dryer or a heated airer might be useful. Would overall recommend.

Lavender Cottage is a lovely place. It’s very close to the centre of Keswick (less than a 10 minute walk), but far away enough to be quiet. It’s also close enough to walk to the Stones at Castlerigg, and just a great base to explore The Lakes. The cottage was clean and well equipped, with all the glasses, crockery and utensils you would need, as well as dish soap, a couple of dishwasher tablets and tea towels. We would stay here again, and would highly recommend it to others. Thank you for a lovely stay.
