Guests say

Otterbield is a well-received holiday cottage in Keswick, praised for its cleanliness, ample space, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the property's quiet location, proximity to the town centre and lake, and the convenience of having multiple shower rooms. The garden is a valued addition. However, some guests find the mattresses too soft for their liking.

Guests consistently note the property as super clean, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the cottage.

The property is commended for its great location, with easy access to the town centre and lake. Parking was initially troublesome for one guest but was resolved.

While the property is generally found to be comfortable, several guests have mentioned that the mattresses are too soft, which suggests room for improvement in this area.

The property is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, and offers multiple shower rooms. No significant issues with maintenance are mentioned, but the repeated comments about mattress comfort have slightly impacted this score.

There is no mention of gifts or additional thoughtful touches in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

    Nice cosy accommodation with good equipment in kitchen. This is the third time we’ve stayed here, this time we were hoping they had new firmer mattresses on the king sized beds. Sadly we will not be staying again as our family is growing! Would recommend.

  • Sarah L

    Lovely comfy holiday home with plenty of space. Super clean. Would highly recommend. Will definitely be back.

  • Nigel Bond

    Otterbield is a very well equipped house in a great location. Parking was troublesome initially but we managed to get 3 cars nearby after the conference had finished. The only thing that could be improved would be the double mattresses which were very soft.
