Roslin is situated in a quiet cul de sac in Portinscale a 20-25 minute walk into Keswick. Parking is ample directly outside the house. There is a spacious hall leading to a modern kitchen. There is a large through living room a sofa and comfortable chairs. There is a good TV. The windows from the rear offer spectacular views of open fields,the River Derwent and Skiddaw. There is a utility room off the kitchen with a freezer, and washing machine and can be used for bike storage. The master bedroom is enormous with a large comfortable double bed and excellent views. The second bedroom has 2 single beds. The bathroom is modern although the bath is a little small and watch your head on the sloping ceiling. There is a large shower also. There is central heating which worked perfectly. A little road noise can be heard but it didn’t bother us. There is a large grassed rear garden with areas to sit outside. The village pub serving food is 3 minutes walk away. Overall we loved Roslin so much so we booked another visit on our return home.

A comfortable place to stay. Fantastic views of Skiddaw. Good location for walking to Keswick (20 minutes), walking south along Derwent Water to Catbells and also close to the marinas (we went canoeing and paddle boarding on Derwent Water from Nichol Marine). The cottage was comfortable and warm. There was noise from the A66 which wasn't a problem this time of year but may be in the summer when the windows are open.

Lovely place to relax with beautiful views of Skiddaw and surrounding hills. Comfortable beds and furniture. Good customer service from Keswick Cottages

Lovely home located walking distance to Keswick, yet in a quiet peaceful area. Clean and spacious ideally located to explore the Lake District

We all enjoyed our stay at Roslin. It's not in the best condition decoration-wise but it's clean and comfortable and the view from the back of the house over the Skiddaw range is absolutely stunning.

Roslin was a comfy little cottage in a great location with stunning views, however, the property itself could do with a little makeover. The wallpaper by the radiator in the main bedroom could do with replacing or at least pasting back down, the inside the windows frames are in need of a real deep clean, a couple of spiders ran out when we opened the bedroom window. The side entrance is very unwelcoming, a lick of paint and the dead spiders removing would be a start. But saying all this it didn’t spoil our stay.

Beautiful and peaceful location with lots of walks on the doorstep. A very comfortable stay. We certainly hope to come back to stay here again .

This cottage is in a fantastic location, with amazing views of Skiddaw, but it needs some TLC both inside and particularly in the garden. Old and dirty patio furniture, generally unkempt front and back gardens, brambles, weeds, overgrown plants and trees, which shaded the garden from the evening sun. We visited in early June and had amazing weather, but we didn't sit outside in the garden once. I would not recommend this cottage to others until it has been tidied up a bit

A lovely cottage set in a quiet location with just a short walk into Keswick and Derwentwater. The views of Skiddaw from both the lounge and bedroom were fabulous. We had a very comfortable and enjoyable stay at Rosalin with everything provided for a self contained long weekend away. Highly recommended.

This was our first stay at Roslin, a well equipped cottage in Portinscale just a short walk to Keswick in one direction or Braithwaite in the other direction. It is also an easy walk to The Chalet for breakfast or a little further to The Lingholm Estate. Further on you can get to walk round the lake or along Catbells or Catbells Terrace. The cottage was almost perfect for us and our dog with two clean and comfortable bedrooms, modern bathroom, well equipped kitchen and an enclosed and secure garden. There were a few very minor maintenance issues which have been reported to Keswick Cottages but didn’t impact on our stay. For me the one thing missing was a coffee machine. I have to have my morning coffee and most places we have stayed in recent years have had basic Nespresso machines or similar. If there had been one, Roslin could have got 5 stars! The cottage is up a short steep hill with glorious views from the windows across to the Skiddaw range. The weather wasn’t great for us but it would be lovely sitting on the patio on a summer’s evening with that backdrop. It is at the end of a quiet cul de sac so no passing traffic.

Our second stay at this property and it is lovely, clean and perfectly positioned for us. The only quible is the garden upkeep, a bit of TLC (or even mowing the lawn) would elevate any stay to be able to enjoy those fabulous views from the garden too

The house is in a great location with fantastic views of the fells. The Farmers Arms pub down the road serves lovely food and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Keswick is about 30 mins walk away and well worth a visit. Parts of the house and garden could do with a bit of TLC as certain areas are looking a bit tired but that didn't stop us enjoying our holiday. Keswick Cottages were very informative throughout the booking process. Would highly recommend!

So happy with this cottage and with Keswick cottages who were great when I had a few issues with my booking (my fault) cottage itself was lovely and felt like a home, could do with a bit of updating (decor a bit outdated but that's just my taste) but considering dogs were allowed it was extremely clean and the facilities were great for a family of 4 and 2 dogs! Location was perfect! Portinscale was a cute village, Farmers arms pub great and lovely cafe and only a 20 ish min walk to Keswick.

The location and views were excellent as was the cleanliness and comfort. would highly recommend and would love to go again.

Roslin is a comfortable cottage, with all the necessary facilities needed (such as dishwasher, washing machine etc.). Some parts need a bit of TLC, the paintwork in the bathroom is looking tired. And the garden furniture could do with updating, perhaps to something in plastic rather than the wooden furniture which definitely needs some attention. But we had a good stay, and the location is excellent, just a short walk to the local pub and a slightly longer, flat walk into Keswick itself.

An excellent place to relax with the family. Near for great walks, great location. The house is very clean with a small garden for our pets. I recommend this place for a short rest. Thanks 5*

Roslin is ideal for a family of 4 with good facilities and is well equipped The mud room is especially useful with a dog and/or after a wet walk. Nice cosy fire (tip here is only have it on low as it is fierce) Good parking for 2 cars and cheap beer on Monday evening at the Farmers Arms Would return again and good value

Really comfortable house in brilliant location with views overlooking Skiddaw. It is a great base for doing lots of lovely walks and also for pottering into Keswick.

An enjoyable walk from Portinscale to Keswick, making an ideal place to avoid the busy traffic. 300-yards from the local pub.

This lovely accommodation in the beautiful village of Portinscale has the most amazing views of Skiddaw. It's a perfect location for Lake District lovers and Fell walkers. I would definitely book again.
