About Fairfell

Fairfell is a ground-floor bungalow in a quiet elevated position on the edge of Keswick in the Lake District, Cumbria.

The bungalow has two bedrooms. The king-size double is consistently praised for comfort. The second is a small twin room suited to families with children. One bathroom with a powerful shower serves both rooms. The open-plan lounge-diner has a wood-burning-effect stove and smart TV.

Fairfell Reviews

Jennifer

The kitchen utensils need reviewing. Frying pan awful I had to purchase one for my use. Not really enough utensils. Also I found the instructions for the refuse and recycling very confusing. We did what the next door neighbour did, assumed that was ok.

A comfortable, compact but modern bungalow. Good quiet location, yet only a 15m walk into Keswick and its amenities, with views of hills from the front door! Parking good, and a friendly neighbour ade our holiday a relaxing experience .

Maxine

Lovely cosy clean and tidy cottage. Fairfell was warm and in a real good location. It ticked all the boxes for a short stay and we wouldn't hesitate to book again. Thank you Maxine and Simon

Clean and comfortable with a wellequipped kitchen and bonus of a porch area which meant we could leave our boots and wet weather gear out there to dry each night. The living room is so warm and comfortable, as are all the beds. Plenty of towels provided. Lovely powerful shower as well. No complaints, will absolutely look to stay here again when we're next in Keswick.

Dennis

Shared drive quite steep and narrow . Addition of an electric charging point to be used night time only when rates are cheaper would be really good . Also extra ? maybe a small counter top dish washer in the kitchen , otherwise the bungalow was really well equipped and clean , lovely find , thank you .

A comfortable stay. Near enough to Keswick to walk into Keswick, even with bad knees! Everything you need for self catering. We've booked for a 4th time

Fair fell was extremely comfortable and had all we needed for our stay. The walk into Keswick was easy Overall the cleanliness was good but one or two areas had been missed by the housekeeping staff. However this did not impact our stay at all. The bungalow was provided with plenty of kitchen and cooking equipment but could do with one more dessert spoon and one more small mug for when four people are staying. A towel ring or hook near the wash hand basin would be useful. We noticed that you can unlock the back door to the porch from the outside but you cant unlock it from the inside and the drainage from the shower is very slow. However we really enjoyed staying at Fairfell It was everything we wanted and more. Thank you very much

Great bungalow and lovely garden would definitely stay again . Two things a bit annoying but didnt spoil our stay freezer needed defrosting old ice cream left in it . Twin bedroom having to move the bed so you can close the door is a bit of a pain maybe sliding doors may work . Fabulous bathroom

Katherine

Main light in bedroom did not work, needs a proper bulb. A cafetiere for nice coffee and a hoze pipe for bikes would be useful additions please. Cleaner needs a kick up their backside Cobwebs, muck behind doors, oven stank when used as not cleaned around top grill and dust under beds is incredible. The place needs a deep clean and not just the spray of air freshener that greeted us when we entered. Otherwise it was comfortable and we had a pleasant stay.

Nice quite location, but close enough to town, the property was clean, and ... Nice quite location, but close enough to town, the property was clean, and kitted out with all the necessary equipment, the drive is a bit steep so I chose to park on the road outside the property,

The only negative was that the fridge freezer part of the fridge was thick with ice and left little room for anything. Turned fridge off before leaving to allow defrosting with bowl to catch drips. Bathroom lovely with a very powerful shower and comfy beds and cosy. Great we could still watch Netflix and WiFi was beneficial and within walking distance to,town

Ian Peter

The property was in a good location within walking distance to the centre of ... The property was in a good location within walking distance to the centre of Keswick clean and with modern decor and very cosy nice garden with views across the fells The smaller twin bedroom had very little storage space for two adults sharing the room whilst this isn't always a problem ,depending on the party staying thereI feel Sykes cottages could note in the property description that storage in the twin room is very limited other than this it's a good back for a holiday in Keswick

A very comfortable and compact bungalow, perfectly situated for Keswick town centre, with road links to other areas. The kitchen is very wellequipped and the beds are comfortable. The garden is well kept and pleasant to sit in, with lovely views of Latrigg and the other local fells. The handrails on the steps were useful for access a handrail in the shower would be useful too. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

Felt at home as soon as we walked in the door. Had everything we needed. A great base to explore the Lakes.

We had a nice stay and the place was clean and tidy. Everything we needed for a one week stay and a good location just a few minutes from the centre but nice and quiet. Parking was OK, we parked on the road with no problem. The garden at the back is a good size for sitting out weather permitting. Perhaps some photos of this would help market it more.The neighbour was a friendly chap and always had a bit of a chat with him. Overall good stay.

The property was fine but the main reason ruining our stay at Fairfell was the vile neighbour who half an hour after our arrival threatening to smash our car up and said he would make our stay terrible as he wanted to use our drive to turn his car into his own drive. He said he was sick of Fing tourists staying there.Had to leave on the Tuesday.

Elaine

Fair fell is a lovely bungalow in a peaceful area , nice and clean. 15 minute walk into the town of Keswick. We did a lot of walking but lots of rain, but the bungalow is very comfy so we chilled.

A year has past since we last stayed . We are happy with the property and its great location and only suggest the following points as improvements. The bathroom door sticks and is noisy esp if anyone goes to the loo during the night when its quiet . Its enough to wake everyone else up ! The shower door still leaks from our last visit . As we also had a baby with us and did some washing, a few more pegs would be handy.

Elizabeth

Very comfortable bungalow in a quite area near all amenities. Bungalow very clean and well decorated a few maintenance issues like cracked tiles and sink both in bathroom.bath needs a handrail.

We had a lovely stay, the bungalow was just a short walk from the town centre, parks and lake.

Jennifer

We had a very wet week but it was a cosy property and very well appointed. The bed was particularly comfortable. The porch was very useful to take off boots and outdoor gear. It was well situated and we appreciated being able to walk into the town very easily and it wasn't much further to walk to the lake. We were a couple staying and so there was plenty of room.

A lovely stay in a clean well equipped and comfortable bungalow. Location is perfect for walking or getting into Keswick. No issues with parking on the driveway . All in all we had a perfect holiday.....thank you owner and Sykes..

Jonathan

We enjoyed our stay very much. Parking on the drive is a problem we noticed that other residents who rented this property wrote that they parked on the road, though this too has its problems. A dishwasher would have been great, but we realise space is limited. The loungedining area was smaller than we had expected, but everything was fine. Thanks for having us! For Sykes, we were frustrated by the number of marketing emails you kept sending us we would recommend you reduce these considerably. We didn't want to unsubscribe because we feared missing something about our booking.

Lovely clean smartly furnished house. Quiet location but only 10 minutes walk to restaurants and lake . A view of Skidaw from the garden is a bonus.

We found the property ideal for our needs. The location was just right, quiet with lovely views with just a 10 minute walk into town.

Beverley

Great cottage. Very clean and comfortable. Ten minute walk to centre. Second bedroom very small but otherwise very nice. Loved the porch with lots of rooms for coats and boots.

Perfect place for a lakes holiday with a toddler. Great location for walking intoaround Keswick and for short day trips out. Fairfell was very clean, comfortable and quiet which was a surprise being so close to Keswick! There was a lot provided with the property, but it would have been helpful to have a few more kitchen essentials, e.g salt and pepper, oil and kitchen roll.

Fairfell is a lovely, comfortable bungalow in a quiet setting within a few minutes walk of the centre of Keswick. It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay in The Lake District.

Clean and bright property, comfortable bed, situated a 10 minute walk from town centre, would stay again

Natalie

Really great bungalow, clean comfortable and warm with everything we needed for our stay. Close enough to walk to town centre in 10 mins and plenty of walks to do from the door. Garden will also be lovely to sit in when wether is better. Genuinely can't fault it.

Claire

Lovely stay in a lovely cottage, walking distance to the centre of Keswick so very convenient. Well equipped, clean and nicely decorated and made for an easy stay for our family of 4. Fantastic views from the good sized garden, weather was poor for our stay but in better weather this is a real asset. Drive is cosy but our Cmax fitted fine.

Angela

We have previously stayed in this bungalow and it is perfect but Im not sure I understand the extensive cleaning, there were grease marks on the side of the extractor fan and one of your previous guests kindly left a pair of socks under the sofa! Obviously the carpet under the sofa doesnt get vacuumed?The vacuum cleaner looks like it hasnt been emptied for weeks. I also emailed your office twice asking for a 10 am checkout, I know that you say you cant accommodate this but every other company we have stayed with in Keswick has asked the cleaner if this is ok as we normally do the park run at 9am , if it wasnt possible that wouldnt have been a problem but to not even answer my emails is bad customer service especially as I received a text at 03.41 and also an email telling us how to checkout?.

Lovely bungalow, very clean, warm, comfortable beds, high quality wardrobes, drawers etc. Very quiet location, close to town & great for walks from the doorstep. Everything you need.

Sheila

Like other holidaymeker we were also unable to park in the drive . This made it quite difficult for my disabled husbans as he had to negotiate the steps. This needs to be included i the property discription.
