Guests say
Philip's Cottage in Keswick is praised for its peaceful location, proximity to local amenities, and suitability for dog owners. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, and secure garden. While some minor issues with maintenance and housekeeping are noted, the overall experience is positive, with many guests returning for multiple stays.
The cottage generally appears tidy, but there are several mentions of cleanliness issues such as dirty dishes, mud under furniture, and a dog smell upon arrival. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a consistent problem.
The location is highly praised for being quiet, close to Keswick centre, and offering easy access to walks and local amenities. The proximity to a park and river adds to the charm.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the cottage warm. However, there are comments about uncomfortable sofas and a lack of door on the kitchen, which could be a concern for families with small children.
The kitchen is well-equipped, and there's a good selection of games. However, guests have noted dated utensils, a complicated TV setup, and issues with the shower's power and temperature control, suggesting some areas need updating.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or extra thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category.
