I usually don’t leave reviews, however Brandlehow is so good it deserves this…. If you use this outstanding cottage for the first time, you will return. I have used it 5 times, the owners have created a wonderful home from home, everything you need and very very clean. Use the patio at the front of the property or take the stunning views from the patio at the top of the garden. This provides everything you will need for any type of holiday in Keswick, whether you are walking, taking in outdoor activities or just relaxing…. It’s perfect

Extremely clean and well maintained, comfortable, with excellent views over to Catbells. Plenty of cleaning products for all occasions if needed. Ample cutlery/ crockery. Everything you could wish for in a home from home. The 2 small dogs loved the garden and even our westie could not find an escape route it is that secure. One downside for some might be the steep slopes of the garden. We have already booked for next year.
