Guests say
Glenwood is a well-located cottage in the heart of Keswick, praised for its excellent central position and the convenience of private parking. Guests appreciate its warmth, well-equipped kitchen, and easy access to local amenities and transport. While the property is generally comfortable and offers good value, some guests noted areas for improvement, particularly with cleanliness, dated furnishings, and mattresses. Despite minor maintenance issues, most visitors found it a pleasant base for exploring the Lake District and would consider returning.
Cleanliness is mixed, with several guests finding the property tidy on arrival, but others reporting issues such as dust, cobwebs, and occasional missed cleaning. Some mentioned the need for a deeper clean and attention to detail.
The location is highly praised, with guests loving the central position in Keswick, proximity to shops, parks, and transport, and the added bonus of private parking.
Comfort is generally good, with warm rooms and cosy beds, but several guests found the mattresses uncomfortable or in need of replacement. Noise from creaking floors was also mentioned.
Facilities are well regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, and all essentials provided. Some minor maintenance issues were noted, such as dated décor, worn towels, and small repairs needed.
There are no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

The pile of cigarette butts at the door was not the best first impression. Some of the towels smelt of cigarette smoke. The mattresses on the beds were past their shelf life & were very uncomfortable to sleep on.Overall the location was good but servicing of the house lacked the detail we expected.
