Guests say
Pollywiggle Cottage is a cosy, well-equipped retreat in a superb location just minutes from Keswick town centre and local attractions. Guests appreciate its comfort, cleanliness, and suitability for couples and dog owners. The kitchen, though compact, is well stocked, and the cottage offers a peaceful base for exploring the Lake District. Some guests noted minor issues with outdoor space for dogs, kitchen basics, and initial cleanliness, but overall experiences were very positive, with many planning to return.
Most guests found the cottage clean and comfortable, though one review mentioned dog hairs in the bathroom and sink on arrival. Overall, cleanliness is generally praised but with occasional lapses.
The location is consistently highlighted as excellent, being close to Keswick town centre, shops, and walking routes, yet situated on a quiet street.
Guests describe the cottage as cosy and comfortable, ideal for couples and dog owners. The size is suitable for small groups, and the atmosphere is welcoming.
The cottage is well equipped with essentials like a washing machine and travel iron, but lacks some basics such as a coffee maker and kitchen staples. The kitchen is small but functional, and the outdoor space is shared and not enclosed.
Some guests were disappointed by the absence of a welcome hamper or basic refreshments on arrival. While gifts or welcome packs are not guaranteed, their inclusion would enhance the guest experience.

Great little cottage in the perfect location, very close to all the local shops and walking routes around Derwent water and beyond, only a few mins walk away from Keswick Launch. Kitchen is very small but we didn't do much cooking as there's lots of great places to eat so this was fine for us. The only issue we had was parking when we arrived as it said we could use the disc parking but we were unable to locate the disc in the property, however we found we could quickly unload with hazards on pretty easily. Would definitely stay again when we are next in Keswick!

The cottage and location were great we couldnt have been closer to the Town Centre, but there was only 1/3 of a toilet roll on arrival and the bath and sink were filthy-full of dog hairs. Overall a lovely stay.

It was a lovely stay, I was overall pleased. My only criticism would be for there to be a clearer indication to where the key lock box is located. I arrived in the evening when it was dark and couldn’t locate it.
