Guests say
Guests love the charming, quirky cottage '11 The Plosh' for its perfect location in Keswick, its unique upside-down room layout, and characterful design. The property's proximity to local amenities and the inclusion of a shared garden are highly appreciated. While some cleanliness and comfort issues are noted, the overall experience is positive, with many guests looking forward to returning.
The property is generally seen as clean, but some guests found dust behind radiators, light fittings, and dog hairs from previous occupants. These issues suggest room for improvement in deep cleaning.
The location is consistently praised for its convenience to Keswick's main square, shops, restaurants, and the ease of exploring the town and surrounding areas.
The property is mostly comfortable, with a special mention of the Victorian shower and main bed. However, one of the sofas is noted as particularly uncomfortable, and the steep stairs may pose a challenge for some.
Facilities like the drying room are appreciated, but the kitchen could be better stocked, and the provision of towels and bedding is minimal. Some basic supplies are missing, which could enhance the stay.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

A lovely quirky flat right in the centre in Keswick. On the surface, nice and clean but after dropping something down the back of a radiator, and retrieving the item covered in dust, I discovered that it wasn't that clean! Nice and warm once we figured out to light the gar fire in the living room. It would have been nice to have been given some basic supplies e.g. scissors, salt and pepper, cooking oil, toilet rolls and batteries for the TV remote control. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will return.

Loved this cottage so much. Already love Keswick, and staying in this cottage allowed us to enjoy the town with ease, but I also enjoyed my time in the cottage, especially in the lovely kitchen. A family of 4 and a dog fitted in fine. Perfect location, perfect cottage with so many lovely period and vintage features, I just loved it, thank you.

This is a lovely cottage, which we have visited before, and will probably visit again. The location is excellent, as is the provision of a drying room downstairs - essential in the Lake District. The kitchen could be stocked better, and two small towels per person for a fortnight’s stay (and no change of bedding) seemed minimal. Overall the property was clean, but light fittings were dusty and there were some dog hairs from previous occupants and one of the sofas is particularly uncomfortable. But overall, a positive experience.
