Guests say
Long Rose cottage in Keswick is praised for its brilliant location and cleanliness, with easy access to local attractions and amenities. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds and the provision of suitcase stands. However, some guests noted areas for improvement, including better lighting, clearer instructions for waste disposal, and addressing the issue of the shower flooding the bathroom.
The property is consistently described as clean, indicating good housekeeping standards. However, one mention of cobwebs slightly impacts the score.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to Keswick and local parks, making it an excellent base for exploring the area.
Guests find the beds comfortable and appreciate the suitcase stands, but some find the sofas and dining chairs uncomfortable, and there are comments about poor lighting in certain rooms.
The cottage is well-equipped with essentials like WiFi and a well-maintained kitchen. However, issues with parking, shower flooding, and a lack of a washing machine have been noted.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

I’m not one for giving bad reviews, I just wouldn’t stay again. But, the sofas and dining chairs were very uncomfortable. First property in 20 years with no washing machine. (I should have checked). A washing machine would have been better than a dishwasher. It’s two months since a review mentioned the shower flooding the floor and it hasn’t been put right. The towels were awful. The TV, only free view! Cobwebs on the lights. The only good points were the comfortable bed and parking.

Nice cottage, lighting in dinning room awful. Nothing in kitchen apart from salt and pepper, and only 1 toilet roll for 4 days. Stayed in many cottages this seemed a bit bare essentials only .
