Pippin Cottage in Keswick is highly praised for its cleanliness, tasteful decoration, and prime location opposite Fitz Park. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and the property's dog-friendly nature. While some found the lounge furniture uncomfortable and the patio area untidy, the overall sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, with many planning to return.

Reviews consistently mention that the cottage is very clean, with several guests highlighting the well-kept and tidy nature of the property. The high standard of cleanliness contributes to the overall positive experience.

The location is frequently praised for being ideal, opposite a lovely park and within walking distance to the town centre and lake. The convenience for dog owners and proximity to local amenities are particularly appreciated.

Most guests find the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, although there are a few remarks about the lounge furniture being uncomfortable. The positive comments on the beds and overall cosiness outweigh the few negative remarks.

While guests express high satisfaction with the property and its amenities, there are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host. Therefore, it is not possible to assess this category.

  • Ian James

    The property is very well presented, & contains 2 very comfortable beds, a high spec kitchen, & a restful lounge, as well as a very nice shower room/toilet. It is superbly situated with very easy access to the town centre, whilst remaining relatively undisturbed by the tourist traffic, & a short wander across to Fitz park. We have loved being here, & heartily recommend it to all.

    Another beautiful stay in this immaculate cottage , in a fantastic location , and decorated to a very high standard - already booked for next

  • Stephanie

    Just what we needed. Easy to keep clean as we had a furry friend with us. Owner was very friendly and contactable if needed but in no way intrusive. Added bonus of a parking space. Will definitely return.
