Guests say
Hey Down is a well-equipped and spacious cottage in Keswick, praised for its excellent location close to Fitz Park and the town centre, as well as its handy off-street parking. Guests appreciated the cleanliness, comfortable beds, and sunny back courtyard. The cottage is ideal for families and dog owners, with easy access to local walks and amenities. While the sofas and some decor could benefit from updating, and a few guests noted a soft mattress and occasional pet odour, the overall experience was highly positive, with many guests keen to return.
Multiple reviews mention the cottage being very clean and tidy, with only one comment noting a lingering pet odour in the lounge. Overall, guests were very satisfied with the cleanliness.
The location is consistently described as excellent, with easy access to parks, the town centre, and walking routes. The off-street parking is also highly valued by guests.

Great cottage in an excellent location for exploring the surrounding fells, parks and Derwentwater.Appreciated the off-street parking opposite, especially during a busy May half term.The cottage was comfortable and had everything we needed. The back courtyard was a delightful little sun trap and I could also hang out some mid stay washing too!Excellent service from Cottages.com when my husband locked himself out of the property one afternoon! Fitz Park across the road is an excellent place for dogs to splash and burn off some energy, and the Keswick parkrun/ railway trail is also nearby if you are a running enthusiast! The views are incredible :)
