Guests say
Fairfell is a well-regarded cottage in Keswick, praised for its excellent location, comfort, and cleanliness. Guests appreciate the proximity to the town and lake, the quiet setting, and the views. The property is described as cosy, well-equipped, and suitable for families, with a garden that is a bonus in good weather. While some maintenance issues are noted, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
The majority of guests found Fairfell to be very clean, with comfortable furnishings and well-maintained decor. However, a few guests mentioned finding areas that were overlooked during cleaning, such as under the sofa and behind appliances. These instances seem to be exceptions rather than the rule.
Guests consistently praise the location for being quiet yet conveniently close to Keswick's town centre and the lake. The ability to walk into town and enjoy the local amenities without needing to drive is frequently highlighted as a significant advantage.
The bungalow is frequently described as comfortable, with special mentions of the beds and the warmth of the property. Some guests found the second bedroom small and the mattresses in the twin room to be hard, but overall, the comfort level is rated highly.
Facilities are generally well-received, with the property being described as well-equipped. However, guests have suggested improvements such as adding an extractor fan in the bathroom, a dishwasher, and addressing minor maintenance issues like a sticking bathroom door and a leaking shower.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

Nice quite location, but close enough to town, the property was clean, and kitted out with all the necessary equipment, the drive is a bit steep so I chose to park on the road outside the property,

The property was in a good location within walking distance to the centre of Keswick clean and with modern decor and very cosy nice garden with views across the fells The smaller twin bedroom had very little storage space for two adults sharing the room whilst this isn't always a problem (,depending on the party staying there)I feel Sykes cottages could note in the property description that storage in the twin room is very limited other than this it's a good back for a holiday in Keswick
