Great location, welcome gift would be helpful after traveling. Strong smell of damp on arrival. Bed comfortable, good night's sleep, unfortunately the toilet seat needs fixing as it moves! There is a very good shower though. The kitchen window was open and I couldn't reach it, so the blind wouldn't close and as a solo traveler it was not secure enough and could be accessed via a ginnel . It is a shame about this cottage because if all these issues were sorted it would be great. On a more positive note, kitchen is very well equipped, living room is comfortable and tastefully done. So I hope this review will get things done for future guests. So handy for shopping, cafes, Cinema is yards away. Everything on the doorstep, bus station about 5 minutes away, I would like to return if it gets sorted out.

Sadly this accommodation did not meet my expectations. Very little in the Kitchen two of the towels that was left for me had bleach stains, the bedding was all very bobbly like it was several years old and I caught my foot twice on a screw that was sticking up on the threshold of the bedroom door. It I have stayed in six other properties in Keswick same company all excellent but felt let down this time

Lovely little cottage very close to town centre, only problem is lack of parking and car parks are always full.
