Dovedale is a highly praised holiday cottage in Keswick, consistently lauded for its spotless condition, stylish and modern amenities, and thoughtful touches by the owners. Guests appreciate the convenient location, comfortable furnishings, and the array of extras provided, including treats for dogs. While there is a mention of a lack of enclosed garden for pets and some suggestions for minor improvements, the overwhelming sentiment is one of satisfaction and eagerness to return.
Reviewers unanimously commend the cottage for its spotless and fresh condition, highlighting the exceptional level of cleanliness as a standout feature. The repeated use of 'spotlessly clean' indicates a very high standard maintained by the property.
The property's location is frequently praised for its proximity to the town centre and local amenities, as well as for being a convenient base for exploring the Lake District. The consistent mention of a 'short walk into town' and 'great walks on your doorstep' supports a high score.

The cottage is celebrated for being well-appointed with modern facilities, including a great shower, bathrooms, and entertainment options like Netflix. Some guests suggested improvements such as better storage for boots and wet clothing, but these are minor compared to the overall high satisfaction with the facilities provided.
The owners' thoughtfulness is frequently mentioned, with guests appreciating the welcome packs and treats for both humans and dogs. It is important to note that while such gestures are highly valued, they are subject to the owners' discretion and may not be guaranteed for every stay.
