Guests say
Blencathra Bank is a well-equipped, spacious bungalow in a peaceful area of Keswick, praised for its convenient location, comfort, and lovely conservatory with scenic views. Guests appreciate the easy walk to town and local amenities, as well as the cleanliness and warmth of the property. While most reviews are very positive, some guests noted minor issues with cleaning standards, mattress comfort, and a lack of small extras such as a welcome pack or basic kitchen supplies. Overall, the property offers an enjoyable and relaxing base for exploring Keswick and the surrounding area.
Most guests found the property clean and tidy, with several describing it as 'very clean' and 'lovely and warm.' However, a few reviews mentioned issues such as dirty washing machines, bins not emptied, and areas needing a more thorough clean. These comments were in the minority but did impact the overall impression.
The location is highly praised, with guests highlighting the quiet neighbourhood, proximity to Keswick town centre, and easy access to walks and amenities. The peaceful setting and scenic views from the conservatory are frequently mentioned as standout features.
Guests generally found the bungalow comfortable and spacious, with warm rooms and good beds. Some noted issues with the main mattress being too soft or worn, and a few mentioned a preference for different pillows, but overall comfort levels were rated highly.
The property is described as well-equipped, with board games, a conservatory, and good kitchen facilities. Suggestions for improvement included providing a clothes airer, updating the mattress, and addressing maintenance issues such as the washing machine and garden. Most guests felt the facilities met or exceeded expectations.
Several guests noted the absence of a welcome pack, milk, or basic kitchen and bathroom supplies, which are often expected in self-catering accommodation. While some appreciated the fresh bedding and towels, the lack of small thoughtful touches was a recurring theme. Please note that gifts or welcome packs are not guaranteed.

Loved our holiday in Keswick. Cottage was lovely and quiet. Great location. Pillows a bit high would be good to have a flat pillow for those that prefer that as most people don’t like high ones. Other than that we loved the cottage and would book again.
