Guests say
Whitegates in Keswick offers a peaceful stay with a well-equipped kitchen, comfortable rooms, and a beautiful garden. Its proximity to walking trails and the town centre is highly appreciated by guests. While some find the property dated, the charm and location often outweigh these concerns.
Guests generally find Whitegates clean, with some noting areas for improvement. Occasional mentions of stains and a damp smell suggest room for enhanced cleaning, but overall, the property maintains a satisfactory level of cleanliness.
The location is consistently praised for its tranquillity, proximity to Keswick, and access to local hikes and pubs. The scenic views and quiet setting make it an ideal base for exploring the Lake District.
The property is described as comfortable and cosy, with spacious rooms and effective heating. However, some guests mention issues with mattresses and a damp bathroom, indicating variability in comfort levels.
Facilities like the kitchen and living areas are well-received, but there are concerns about maintenance, particularly in the bathroom. The need for repairs and updates in some areas affects the overall score.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

Great place to stay. It is peaceful place and match the descriptions in the picture. I would say it is clean and tidy except for the toilet, whenever you will use the shower, water will spill all over on the floor, I would suggest if you can change the shower curtain to a longer one. Overall it is nice and perfect place to stay with an entire family. Highly recommended.
