Guests say
The Old Workshop in Keswick is highly praised for its modern, spacious interiors and prime location. Guests appreciate the ample bathrooms, well-equipped kitchen, and thoughtful touches like a welcome pack. Despite limited parking and no outdoor space, its proximity to local amenities and the park makes it a favourite for both repeat and new visitors.
Guests consistently describe the property as very clean and spotless, indicating a high standard of cleanliness throughout the cottage.
The central location is frequently highlighted as a top feature, with easy access to shops, pubs, the lake, and a nearby park for dog walking, although some street noise is mentioned.
The cottage is often referred to as cosy, warm, and comfortable, with plenty of space for guests and pets. However, a few guests found the mattresses too soft, slightly affecting the comfort score.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and sufficient bathrooms. The lack of outdoor space and a small fridge for larger groups are minor drawbacks.
The welcome pack is frequently mentioned and appreciated, adding a touch of thoughtfulness to the guests' experience. While such gifts are cherished, they are not guaranteed for every stay.

A modern spacious holiday let. We have visited Keswick for a number of years now and this is the best property yet - a little gem. There were four of us and a dog and not once did we feel under each other’s feet. The number of bathrooms is a bonus and the hall way had plenty of room for boots and rucksacks. Parking is a bit tight but is a gift in the middle of Keswick. Would definitely book again.
