While some minor maintenance issues are noted, the overall experience is positive, with many guests willing to return.
The property generally maintains a good standard of cleanliness, with several guests finding it clean and comfortable. However, a few reviews mention the need for a deeper clean, particularly around skirting boards and light switches, slightly lowering the score.
The location is highly praised for being central and close to shops, amenities, and Derwentwater, making it an ideal base for walking holidays and exploring Keswick. The convenience of the location contributes to a high score.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the house spacious, contributing to a pleasant stay. However, some guests mention issues with noisy plumbing and squeaky beds, which slightly detract from the overall comfort.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and multiple bathrooms. However, maintenance issues such as noisy plumbing, non-functional TVs, and guttering problems affect the score. The cycle store being unavailable despite being advertised also impacts this category.

Had a fantastic stay at York House - spotless,welcoming,close to local amenities,everything we expected and some. Excellent area for walking and exploring. All the local amenities are dog friendly and locals are very welcoming Would recommend York House and as there were only two of us felt that here was lots of space. A great touch was all the DVD’s ,books and games

This house is excellent value for money, really good location in the heart of Keswick, for a very good price compared to other properties that sleep the same number (8 people). There’s plenty of bathrooms - 1 en-suite, 1 with bath on the half landing and 1 shower room for the top 2 rooms to share. Downstairs loo also, that doubles as a utility. Plenty hooks by the door for your coats and a hallway for lining up your footwear, also an under stairs cupboard. New oven and microwave (but you do need to find the instructions to operate that as it isn’t intuitive). Fabulous water pressure for the showers that run off the mains (all but the electric shower over the bath). It had a reasonably good ‘daily clean’ level but needs a deep clean - don’t look at the skirting boards or the grubby net curtain while you sit on the first floor loo! I felt the need to get the antibacterial cleaner out for the light switches and door handles cos I touched one on arrival that was a bit icky (to be fair it was probably a little used wall light in one of the bedrooms). I’ve stayed here twice and it’s started to feel a little tired, incredibly squeaky bed in the first floor twin room and plumbing so noisy we all agreed not to flush the loos during the night this time. But overall don’t be put off. It’s a great price and it has everything you need for 8 people and a cracking walking holiday.

Nice house great location, no problem parking. Although there were a couple of issues they didn't affect our stay greatly and I would recommend York House to anyone. The couple of things that were not good but really didn't affect our stay are below, but they may with others. The plumbing in the house is really noisy, turn a tap on really noisy throughout the house, hot water intermittent not always working so showers were a pain, there is an electric shower in the first floor bathroom. Heating was OK but obviously on a timer. TV in ensuite bedroom didn't work at all, no power to it. Not a problem just didn't watch it.rear yard needs a jet wash, full of slime and very slippery.
