Guests say
Topsey Turvey is a well-regarded cottage in Keswick, praised for its central yet quiet location, comfortable furnishings, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the value for money, the proximity to local amenities, and the inclusion of a garage, despite its size. Some concerns were raised about rubbish collection and minor maintenance issues, but overall, guests are keen to return, highlighting the property's cleanliness and peaceful setting.
The cottage is generally described as clean and tidy, with guests noting it is 'extremely clean' and 'nice and clean.' However, there were comments about the full bin upon arrival, which suggests occasional issues with rubbish collection.
The location is highly praised for being central, close to local attractions, and within a quiet courtyard. Its proximity to the lake, shops, and pubs is frequently mentioned as a significant advantage.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, with cosy furnishings, spacious living areas, and comfortable sofas and beds. Some minor discomforts were mentioned, such as issues with the skylight windows and the heat in the top bedroom.
The cottage is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, but there are several mentions of maintenance issues like the TV setup, non-working DVD player, and worn hob dials. The garage's size and access are also points of contention.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

Parking a nightmare as the garage is only suitable for a very small car and with a car parked opposite the garage entrance it is inaccessible during the day. Definitely need to buy additional parking permit for local car park as if you park outside the house there are complaints even if you are not blocking access to anyone else.
