“This is the second time we've stayed in this cottage.”
We LOVE the location, sitting out in the garden with those views make up for any negatives.
My only criticism is that the cottage could do with a bit of updated decor, I think the others on the same site have been so it's perhaps happening soon.
Prices had gone up since 2020, understandably, but this was a bit disappointing when booking the exact same week and arriving to water not being drinking standard (not their fault and bottled water supplied.) and the fireplace being out of action. The cookware could do with replacing, the knives are so blunt they're not really usable and we bought a new pan to use after the first day. There's a lot of crockery I wouldn't expect, which is great, but we couldn't find a measuring jug or oven tray. None of this would have really bothered us at all, but having paid even more this year, it was a bit disappointing to find a slightly lower standard.
The location is perfect and very peaceful.
The staff were helpful and friendly. We used the cottage as a base for walking and family activities, mostly in and around Keswick and the location was great for that. We took 2 dogs and had plenty of space, the garden isn't fully secure but good enough. Parking is convenient and we all had comfortable sleep.
