Guest Reviews

Ian
We were disappointed with the cottage and thought it was overpriced. We had a very long journey through Storm Amy and it was a shame to arrive to chilly accommodation, no welcome pack and no washing-up liquid. The location is good, being fairly near Keswick and we enjoyed getting out and about. "Response from holidaycottages.co.uk - Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry your arrival wasnâ??t as warm or well-prepared as it should have been after your long journey. The welcome pack was missed due to a housekeeper oversight, and we're glad the heating issue could be repaired during your stay. Weâ??ll ensure essentials are always in place going forward. We're pleased you enjoyed the location, and we appreciate your comments."
Mark
Lovely little cottage although a little chilly at times, so needed to make use of the room heaters. The cottage is next to the A 591 and traffic noise was a bit much at times, although not overnight
Susan Elizabeth
This was a lovely cottage, if a little difficult to find at first. It is set right by the road but as we live next to a motorway the traffic noise (which was not that heavy in our opinion) did not bother us. There is everything you need for a week's holiday although I would recommend taking toilet roll with you as there was not a lot left when we arrived, thankfully we always have some with us on this sort of holiday. We had a very nice break away here, we visited Carlisle so my husband could travel the Settle Carlisle railway. Not far away is Lakeland Distillery, this is a must visit both for the distillery tour/tasting and to the bistro. The food there was very nice and reasonably priced. We managed to walk a little bit around the lake but my hubbie has a dodgy knee so did not go too far. If you are looking for somewhere that is a little bit away from the usual Lake District area then this place is a must for you.
Christopher
Nice comfortable cottage, all the amenities were very good, nice welcome pack.
Carole
A lovely well appointed cottage. Location was quiet and peaceful and within easy distance of all the area has to offer.
Chloe
Lovely cottage in a great location for exploring the Northern Lakes. Walking distance to the local pub (just a short bit on the slightly busy B road) and easy to get into Keswick and Cockermouth.
Stephen
A very nice , clean and comfortable cottage. The views from the courtyard across the fields to Skiddaw were lovely. Not the easiest to locate even though it was above and backed onto the A591. Near to a bus stop ( 400m ) if you wanted to go into Keswick or Cockermouth without the car.
Dennis
The cottage is situated in a beautiful setting, close to 2 public houses albeit the closest one closed for Christmas. It has beautiful views and many walks close by including Catbells which is ideal for all the family only a few minutes drive away.
Rachel
Lovely little cottage next to the road. Great location for Bassenthwaite, Buttermere and Ennerdale. Very well equipped and lovely decoration and furnishings as very comfortable.
Michael
Every thing was first class.
Deborah
Lovely cottage on the edge of Bassenthwaite village, ideal location for visiting the more northern lakes and Keswick. Very comfortable beds, good shower and spotlessly clean. Nice pubs nearby - we tried the Sun Inn in the village and The Pheasant just a few minutes drive round the top of the Lake. Try to go to Bassenthwaite Lake cafe, set in the old railway carriages from the more recent Murder on the Orient Express film, best veggie breakfast Iâ??ve had in ages.
Keith
A wonderful and cosy place with great views and good links to Keswick.
Jaime
Gorgeous cottage that made a great base for exploring the Lakes District
Angela
Lovely comfortable cosy cottage. Welcome pack of coffee, tea, milk and biscuits was very much appreciated. Bed was very comfortable. Had everything needed to enjoy a break away from home.
Carol
A small amount of soap and shampoo in the bathroom would be welcome as the shops were in Keswick and we forgot to bring . we forgot to bring them.
Virginia
2-Bedroom Cottage near Bewaldeth was in an ideal location to explore the Keswick area and offered a comfortable and easy base to return to after a day's walking or exploring.
