Facilities are generally appreciated, especially the parking and garden. Criticisms include issues with water pressure, TV reception, and kitchen equipment. Some guests suggest that maintenance and updates to the facilities would enhance the property's appeal.

About this property
Fell End is ideally located on a quiet street in the thriving market town of Keswick, with easy access to the breath-taking Derwentwater Lake. Neutrally decorated throughout with a great social aspect with an open-plan living area, this semi-detached property is an ideal choice for families and friends seeking a relaxing break to the Lake District. Walking inside you will enter into the stylish open-plan living area where you can relax in the sitting area before the electric fire while your dinner cooks in the oven. Gather the dining table resting in the centre of the room, whether for home-cooked evening meals or a board game brought from home. A contemporary kitchen completes the setup with sleek white units and all the necessary appliances and cooking utensils you could need for a self-catered break. On a balmy day, slide open the patio doors to allow seamless access to the garden where the children and dog can play (please note the garden isn't enclosed) while the adults kick back with a gin and tonic on the outdoor furniture. Retire to the delightful king-size bedroom on the first floor, with crisp white cotton sheets and wardrobe space for your clothes, while across the hall is a twin and a single bedded which can be favoured by children. There is also a family bathroom with bath and separate shower so you can choose how best to prepare for the day. A short stroll will bring you to the town centre of Keswick where you can find essential supermarkets amongst a range of boutiques, gift shops, outdoor clothing retailers, bars, restaurants and family activities such as a climbing wall, pitch and putt golf course, charming cinema and the fascinating Pencil Museum. Derwentwater is an ideal location to view the Lakes at its best, go for a boat ride or picnic on the shores while taking in the admirable views of Skiddaw and Catbells. Visit Go Ape at Grizedale Forest for a day of thrills and adventure, with a treetop rope course and zip wires at 40 feet in the air, you can get a birdseye view of the striking landscape, or for a more relaxed activity simply explore the pretty woodland trails on foot or bike. Fell End is a fabulously presented house, perfect for exploring the North Lakes and beyond.

brilliant to have parking. We only took our car out once. Cottage is well equipped and owners try to keep up with maintenance. We had the gardener and window cleaner on the same day. Hope to come back here if thereâs availability.

The garden maintenance needs addressing hasn't been done in a while, spoils the view looking at a very over grown lawn. I strongly feel the back needs to be gated when it advertised as dog friendly, we had to reverse one car to the house/ driveway and block with the bins and things we could find to stop the dog getting out, apart from that Loveley house to stay in.
