The property is generally very clean, with guests noting its cleanliness. However, there were minor oversights such as burnt chips in the oven and a dusty wardrobe, which slightly affected the score.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to Keswick, local walks, and a friendly pub. The ease of access to local attractions without the need for a car contributes to a high score.
Most guests find the cottage comfortable, with a secure garden and well-equipped kitchen. However, some guests mentioned hard beds and a cool lounge area, which slightly lowers the comfort score.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and secure garden. However, there were comments about missing items like dishcloths, bin bags, and pan lids, and some maintenance issues like a dirty tin opener, which affect the score.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host in the reviews, so it is not possible to score this category.
