Cosy little cottage in a good location with private parking and easy access to the town centre of Keswick and beyond. The cottage had everything in it that we needed for a short stay.
Some of the decor was tired and there is clearly a damp problem, although the cottage didn’t smell damp at all.
The shower cubicle probably needs to be replaced. The rest of the bathroom looked to be fairly new.

Good location .
Felt dated and uncared for. Just had a horrible vibe to it. Photos looked good on your site but what a let down. That’s the last time I’m ever using either Booking.com or Sykes.

The little chocolates on the pillows, the location and the general layout/style of the property. The kitchen was also quite well equipped.
The shower was very weak, and the rain shower fell off at one point it is not attached to the wall, and it looked like the toilet hadn't been cleaned properly. There was no cooking oil/salt/pepper provided and some suggestions for where to park extra cars/ warning that there is hardly any parking would have been appreciated. In addition providing 3 toilet rolls for 6 people staying 2 nights was not enough.

Cottage was very clean and cosy. Everything was provided for. Central location and bed in double room was very comfortable. Would definitely come back.
Water flow was terrible- took ages to run a bath! Parking spot a little tight to get in to.

The house is big, dog firendly, and altogehter fair value for money. We are a family of five. 2 of the teenagers loved the "attic room" with the excelent rear view.
unfortunately we found the house not as clean or as comfortable as we would haev liked (in terms of linen and towels). It was decent, not more.

Great location, very close to Keswick centre. Very well equipped kitchen. Comfy sofas and bed. Good TV and WiFi. Looks just like the pictures, we had a lovely stay!
Some of the furniture was a little dated. Slight smell of dog when we first went into the cottage. Water pressure in the shower wasn't great.

Property needs refurbishing throughout
Smell of damp although we couldn't identify where it came from
All furnishings very tired and need repacing - lounge, dining room, bedrooms. In bedroom on 1st floor a leg on a bedside set of drawers came detatched when a drawer was opened.
Only cleaned superficially and, given the Covid-19 risk, should have been deep cleaned. Filthy under setee cushions + an old sock, and under and behind furniture. Around shower enclosure and corners of bathroom floor.
On our last night a panel of the ceiling and a quantity of rubble (in bedroom on 2nd floor) colapsed, just missing our sleeping grandson.
Stairs to secong floor were very steep (as advised in the details).

The parking at the rear of the cottage was very useful.

The property was perfect for what we wanted. It was warm and welcoming soon arrival and closer to town conveniences
Kitchen equipment, ie pots and pans were poor quality. Towels were far to small would barely wrap around the waist of an adult.
