Guests say
Carthwaite is a well-regarded cottage in Keswick, praised for its ideal location, spaciousness, and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the cosy atmosphere, the well-equipped kitchen, and the garden. It's within walking distance to the town centre and lake, with easy access to local dining and outdoor activities. Some minor maintenance issues were noted, but overall, the property provides a comfortable and convenient stay for families and groups.
The majority of guests found Carthwaite to be extremely clean. One review mentioned a need for a deep clean and marked carpets, but this seems to be an isolated opinion compared to the overall positive feedback on cleanliness.
The location is highly praised for being a pleasant walk to Keswick town centre and close to local amenities. It is also noted for its quietness and proximity to walking and biking trails, making it an excellent choice for visitors.
Guests describe Carthwaite as cosy, warm in the winter, and cool in the summer, with a nice garden to sit out in. However, some guests suggested improvements in bedding quality and the presence of a stressful first night due to an initial hiccup.
The property is well-equipped according to several reviews, with a special mention of the kitchen. However, points were deducted for comments on the lack of baking trays, the need for paint in places, and suggestions for maintenance like changing bathroom taps.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches in the reviews, so it is not possible to provide a score for thoughtfulness. While guests would have liked a welcome pack or information folder, the absence of comments on gifts or extra thoughtful gestures means this category cannot be scored.

Perfect 3 bedroom 2 bathroom property , ideal location , pleasant walk into Keswick town centre. Off street parking , but can be a bit tricky if neighbouring properties are in use otherwise very handy to not have to worry about a space near by. All kitchen equipment was there , anything / everything you can think of , been here before , it’s soo cosy , warm in the winter and cool in the summer , nice little back garden to sit out in if it’s nice out .

Was perfectly situated in the town, 5 minutes walk to the town centre. 15 minutes to the lake. plenty of pubs and restaurants in the town but if you wanted to eat in the kitchen/dinning was perfect for food and the lounge was comfortable. was perfect for our (lads) weekend away, biking and hiking lots of space for the 5 of us

Although the accomodation was a little further away from town than we are used to, it made up for that in internal space, cleanliness and complete silence. The parking spot is a little tight for a larger car, but a total necessity in Keswick, as parking on the street is in very short supply. Overall, an excellent choice for accomodation in Keswick as long as a short walk into town is not too inconvenient for you.
