Guests that stayed at this property said
The cottage receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning it was spotless and well-maintained. The attention to cleanliness contributes positively to guests' experiences.
The location is consistently lauded for its tranquility, beautiful views, and proximity to Keswick and walking trails. The only drawback mentioned is the condition of the access track, which is a concern for some guests.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, highlighting the quality of the bed and the peaceful environment. Some minor issues like a low-hanging lamp and a desire for more towels are noted, but overall comfort is rated highly.
The facilities are generally well-received, with the property being described as well-equipped. However, there are several comments about specific maintenance issues such as the driveway, light fixtures, and a humidifier for dampness, which suggest room for improvement.
Guests frequently mention and appreciate the thoughtful gestures such as welcome treats, which include scones, wine, and fresh flowers. It is politely noted that while these gifts are well-received, they are not guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Garden cottage is located on the outskirts of the market town of Keswick. The property is part of a former farmhouse converted into apartments. Due to the elevated location spectacular views over the town Lake District fells can be admired from the surrounding grounds. Inside your apartment there is one double bedroom and a bathroom with shower over bath, basin and WC. Open plan living area with kitchen, dining area and lounge perfect for relaxation or a romantic meal. There is also the outdoor private seating area for when you fancy relaxing and enjoying the scenery at a leisurely pace rather than walking up the local fells which are within walking distance. A delightful retreat for two people with plenty to see and do within reach.
Keswick is a year round destination with a wide variety of attractions on offer including, lake cruises on Derwentwater, live performances at the Theatre by the Lake, fine fell walking, lively street markets and an abundance of shops, bars and restaurants. Hope Park is a relaxing and beautiful place to visit at any time of year it is only a five minute walk from the apartment, here you could enjoy a round of golf or keep the children entertained with a game of crazy golf. Also nearby you will find the River Greta and Fitz Park with tennis courts, pitch and put golf or just simply stroll along side the river.

Extra special touches such as fresh scones, milk and a bottle of wine on our arrival where a pleasant surprise. The path upto the cottage is very uneven and narrow. This was the only negative. Our stay was amazingly comfortable and despite the usual wet weather we were situated in an area of beautiful views and close to all the tourist areas.
