We enjoyed our stay at barf cottage it was in a great location not far from Keswick, whinlatter and a great pub on the doorstep serving good food and beer
Accommodation was great with nice comfy beds, spacious kitchen and lounge
The only thing I would want to change is a bigger and smart TV in the lounge, but apart from that we enjoyed our stay and would stay again and would recommend

This was our 3rd stay in this lovely cottage which is deceptively large . Well styled and comfortable. Appreciated roll topped bath , well stocked kitchen and books / games . We prefer being a walk away from the crowds in Keswick but with no local shop it is a good idea to take the essentials along

A super cottage in a fantastic location. Our recent stay in Barf cottage exceeded expectations. It was warm, clean and had everything we needed. Even though the weather was rather damp it was so comforting to return to a warm and cosy cottage and have an open fire in the evenings. Excellent location for walks into Keswick, Lingholm (can recommend their breakfasts) plus Derwent Water and CatBells. Staff were friendly and most helpful when we decided to extend our stay.

We have been to Barf Cottage 3 times and will come back again. It is a lovely location and handy for walks. the pub, tea rooms and a short walk to Keswick. There also regular bus services. We had an issue with the fire which meant we couldn't use it but staff were very responsive and helpful. The cottage is well equipped - especially the kitchen! The views from the upstairs bedroom are stunning

Barf cottage is a wonderful place to stay in Portinscale. Cosy cottage with lovely views of the mountains.

Named after the mountain, this is a wonderfully located cottage, beautifully turned out too. Yet another wonderful stay, whether climbing mountains or just popping into Keswick to watch a film or go for a meal, great spot.

We had such a lovely stay at Barf Cottage. It was really clean, in a great location with so much to see nearby. Walks directly from your doorstep, and so many great places to eat around too. The local pub is only a couple of doors down and has a great beer garden! The Keswick Cottages team were so helpful in recommending places to visit during our stay. I’d thoroughly recommend the cottage, as well as staying with Keswick Cottages again. Hopefully see you again soon!

We were looking forward to staying at Barf cottage having read the good reviews. Sadly it didn't live up to expectations. It hadn't been cleaned very well on our arrival and there were areas that hadn't been cleaned for a long time. Having said that, when reported to the office the customer service team were very good.
I really wanted to like this cottage and there were elements such as the character features that were lovely but all in all we found it disappointing for what we paid.

We returned to Barf cottage for an Autumn hit of the lakes. The cottage has everything in spades and was lovely and warm when we arrived.
We hope to be back soon, thanks Keswick Cottages for another lovely break away from normality.

Just had another super stay at the very comfortable, clean, well equipped and well appointed Barf Cottage. Already booked for next year.

We had a lovely week in Barf Cottage. A tastefully decorated, clean and cosy place with plenty of space. The loft converted master bedroom has some lovely views of the surrounding fells. The cottage was well equipped and comfy. We had a tasty roast dinner at The Farmers Arms (2 mins walk away) on the Sunday evening. The Chalet (in the village) cooked up a great breakfast on the morning we left. It’s in a great location. We had a week of wonderful walks. Loved it here.
8.0
A nice homely cottage, well equipped. Good location and base to explore the area. Great walks from the door step. Nearby chalet cafe, less than ten minute walk provides quality food and drinks.
Also a stones throw from the cottage The Farmers Arms pub, serving good standard pub food.

Our 2 week stay was not marred by the weather as we’d packed for sun and rain, it was a perfect location for all the surrounding hills, we only used the car to do our weekly shopping. Barf Cottage was spacious, comfortable and cosy, with seating at the front and back we had everything we needed for a much needed holiday. We’ll definitely be booking again. The early and late checkin and out, was well worth the money as was the starter pack. Thank you Keswick Cottages for another wonderful holiday.

Tired of Cornwall we thought we'd go to the lake district.
Keswick Cottages were amazingly helpful and the facilities were fantastic!
Thank you Rebecca for your kind help and assistance.

Lovely cottage with plenty space
This cottage is perfect for a family stay in the Lake District. The cottage is very comfortable with a lot of loving details. There is plenty of space for your belongings. Keswick is a 15 min footwalk on a nice footpath away. Portinscale is a good central point to start hikes. I extremely enjoyed my morning coffee in the little wild garden. The other gardens left and right aren‘t half as pretty.

Nice cottage however it needs some attention
We stayed for a week in June 2022. The location is wonderful and the cottage homely, well equipped, spacious and very comfortable however it is let down by a few minor details.
The front door lock jammed so we could not open it.
The key to the bike/kayak storage did not fit the padlock but was pointless because the doors could be opened anyway (not secure).
The bathroom shower mixer has control problems.
The toilet basin was not secured to the floor and I had to fix a waste pipe leak.
The oven clock had been switched off which stopped us from using it and it took is some time to work out how to set this up. The grill was not 100% clean.
Parking is really not ideal if you have a large car, although could be helped if the shrubs are pruned.
You don’t find out about the small space until you have paid and are sent directions.
The second space opposite the pub was rarely available.
Keswick Cottages were very quick to resolve any issues and we are regular visitors to the area however would not return to this cottage.

A stay at Barf Cottage Portinscale near Keswick
A nice cottage in Portinscale a one mile walk to Keswick. The cottage is clean and kitchen well provisioned. Beds comfortable and two large bedrooms and a nice single. Small outside area. Parking space provided is small but there is also parking near pub or roadside, both ok.
You can walk from the cottage to Derwentwater or Catbells or other local walks. Lots of walks nearby from Skiddaw to lakeside walks.
A nice cottage in a good location.

Roomy cottage with lovely courtyard garden and views. Looks just like the photos. Parked the car and then walked for the week, 1 mile pathway into Keswick was very handy. Visited pub across the road a few times and ate twice, good pub grub. A very relaxing break.
