Second Christmas at the shielding, has everything we need to make a fantastic week away, already booked for next Christmas, accommodation with a wet room are few and far between

Pleasant cottage. Good location. Over full bins a problem, only one collection per month? Lounge furniture too low to be comfortable.

Three generations were very happy and comfortable at The Shieling. It suited us very well with off street parking( a bonus in Keswick). The rooms and beds were comfortable and we felt that there was enough space for us all and it was good to have a separate dining room. The property was very well maintained and clean. We all enjoyed our time here. Thank you!

Very clean and comfortable cottage. Excellent location. Only thing to suggest would be a dishwasher.

Lovely cottage in a great location. Had everything we needed. There was only two of us so we had plenty of room.

The Shieling is a lovely three-bedroom cottage that was ideally located for us to explore Keswick and the surrounding area. It suited our needs very well, with only a couple of small issues: the ensuite wet-room smelled a little (perhaps the drain needs a quick clean out?) and the dining room is a little tight for getting round the table when all six seats are occupied. The driveway is a little tight but this was not really a problem, and it was definitely worth putting up with given that there is parking at the cottage for two cars. Overall we had an excellent week at The Shieling and would recommend it.

We were a party of six adults using the Shieling cottage and we managed not to tread on each others toes too much. All the bedrooms were of good size, the galley kitchen and dining room were snug but manageable. The cottage is in a great location, about five minutes walk from the high street and therefore close to the shops. Everything was spotlessly clean and the owners had obviously looked at previous reviews as there was plenty of crockery and cutlery etc. We did find the duvets a little warm but we didn't have hot weather so it wasn't too bad. If we used this cottage again in Summer I would probably take a sheet to use instead. My son in law had the only complaint...the last Harry Potter book from the set was missing! I hasten to add he didn't read any and, as I told him, if that was his only complaint then the cottage was pretty good!

A comfortable and convenient bungalow to rent in Keswick. Facilities and cleanliness were very good. Plenty of parking space although the access is quite tight. Minor disappointments were the mouldy rubber shower mat and the “welcome” pack. One tea-bag and 3 small UHT milk cartons doesn’t really say welcome to a cottage to accommodate 6 people. Nevertheless we had a great holiday.
