Guests say

Poachers Cottage in Keswick receives high praise for its excellent location within walking distance of the town centre and local attractions. Guests consistently mention the cottage’s cleanliness, comfort, and well-equipped kitchen and bathroom. The private parking and proximity to a popular pub are appreciated, with no noise issues reported. While the double bedroom is noted as small, most guests found the overall space homely and practical. Minor suggestions include improved outdoor space and more generous starter supplies, but the majority of reviews reflect a very positive experience and a strong desire to return.

The majority of guests describe the cottage as very clean and well maintained, with only rare minor issues (such as an oven needing attention or a bathroom plug needing cleaning) that were quickly resolved. Overall, cleanliness is a standout feature.

Location is frequently highlighted as a major advantage, with guests appreciating the short walk into Keswick, easy access to local walks, and the convenience of private parking. The proximity to the pub and park is also highly valued.

Guests find the cottage comfortable, cosy, and homely, with good heating and comfortable beds. The only recurring negative is the small size of the double bedroom, but this does not significantly detract from overall comfort.

Facilities are generally praised, including a well-equipped kitchen, modern bathroom, Wi-Fi, and smart TV. Some guests mention the lack of a dishwasher and limited outdoor relaxation space as minor drawbacks.

While guests appreciate the provision of essentials like bed linen and towels, several mention that starter supplies (toilet roll, washing up liquid) are minimal. No gifts or welcome packs are mentioned, so these cannot be guaranteed.

    This was our 3rd stay here. Despite the weather (there was a storm whilst there!) the cottage stayed warm and cozy. Double bedroom is very small but never a problem as we just sleep in there and use twin at front of property to get dressed in etc. Kitchen is well equipped and bathroom is clean and good size with both a bath and separate shower. Nice little walk through the park to get into main areas of Keswick where there's lots of nice little pubs, cafes, shops etc and a lovely walk down to Derwent Water. We're likely to stay again next year.

    We loved poachers cottage, it was a good size, the pub next door was superb and really friendly. The parking was ideal, the cottage was well equipped, homely and we could barely find fault in it. We would 100% book poachers cottage again if it is available when we next visit the lakes
