Dog Friendly Cottages In Keswick

What our customers say about their holidays

  We found the property very tired with basic facilities.

  The info in the cottage said not to adjust the setting on the fridge, but we needed to as after a couple of days some food had gone off and had to be thrown out. The fridge has no trays in the door limiting the space with nowhere to stand milk etc. The kettle leaked. There was a 2 slice toaster, but there was 4 of us so this was timely when making breakfast. Non-stick frying pans and trays need replacing. It needs a tumble dryer. The mirror in the main bedroom was in the cupboard not on the wall! Crockery limited. Knives and forks were uneven sizes. Smart TV needed in the lounge. We felt that we 'made do' with a lot of stuff. The bed in the upstairs bedroom moves around, the light in the en-suite kept buffering and going on and off, the extension for the TV was propped up on a chair. The cushions on the chairs in the kitchen were dirty and torn, and the cushions in the main lounge were old and worn. The location is good, walking distance to the square, but it was noisy at times being next to the main carpark, and we had to keep the blinds closed to stop passers by looking in, which made the property dark inside. The accuracy of the listing didn't meet our expectations and we feel the it is very overpriced for the poor standard of this property.

  If you’re looking for somewhere to stay in Keswick then this is the perfect place, if you’ve already booked, then you’re in for a treat.

  Our first impressions on entering the cottage was how spotless it was. I’ve never stayed somewhere so clean and so well furnished. Plenty of handy supplies in the kitchen and hand soap in the bathroom, which is always welcome. The beds were comfortable and the lounge was a great place to relax and people watch! It is right in the heart of Keswick so can be a little noisy first thing, but this wasn’t an issue. Having everything on your doorstep is a major plus along with a parking space! The only thing I would mention is that whilst the house welcomes a dog, it is not ideal if you have a dog that likes the freedom of a back garden. There is a small outside area to sit which is a lane shared with others, so not secure and it is not meant to be used for toileting your dog. Worth knowing and we didn’t take our dog as we weren’t sure on the facilities, so just making that clear. There are plenty of parks nearby and the car park has some green space, but this might not suit everyone. Certainly not a criticism. We loved our stay and hope to return. Thank you.

  The house and was very large, clean and well equipped.

  It's location was also hard to beat, being placed right at the foot of Catbells. We are a walking party of 12 that have been renting such properties for the past 25 years. We had few complaints, but as is often the case with such a large houses, there were a few "niggles" that need attention. We do our own catering and the Aga took a couple of days to reach temperature. This was a real pain for the chefs. The showers needed pumps and several were just a trickle, much of the time. The 4g provided Internet and supporting internal network was intermittent, to say the least! It disappeared completely for the last 3 days. There is some mobile reception on the top floor, but the solution needs a reliable multi-Sim upgrade or satellite solution, to match the premium price paid. Overall though we would definitely return. Many thanks.

  Fabulous house in a brilliant location on Derwent water with amazing views of fells including Cat Bells and family friendly walks and more challenging walks from the door.

  We were a large family party of three generations from toddlers to grandparents and we all had a wonderful stay. Really comfortable bedrooms all ensuite so everyone was happy and lots of space for us all to spread out.. The very well-equipped large kitchen dining room with the incredibly long table made a great family space for everyone. The children really enjoyed the garden too. We'd love to come back. Just a couple of niggles - one of the dishwashers didn't work while we were there and one of the sofas at the dining table seemed to have a wobbly leg. We also never worked out how to make all three TVs work except for the one in the library room which the children used but we were too busy having fun to watch the others anyway! We didn't have any problems with the wifi on our phones and devices.

  We booked Agathi very last minute and were fortunate this the property was available at short notice.

  We walked in on arrival and loved the cleanliness and was impressed with high quality of the decoration and its size. The owner Richard called to make sure we had arrived and to see if we had any questions or concerns - we had none. The location is excellent for both the town centre and to access the start of local walks. Out of town walks were easy to drive to so we were able to plan our days around a get up when we wake up, breakfast around the kitchen table, walk then home for a lovely meal and evening in the very comfy lounge with a fire (gas so no mess). The supermarket is a convenient 5 minute walk away so we did not need to plan food and drink too much in advance. We shall definitely book again.
