“We have stayed in Oak House many times and it remains one of favourite places to stay in the Lake District.”

However I am concerned that since Heart of the Lakes has been taken over by Sykes that the booking fee has risen sharply. This does not seem justified. I am also concerned that the cost of the accommodation has also risen sharply. I accept that costs are rising but feel that Sykes are profiteering from the situation. Heart of the Lakes was a lovely independent company, I hope that Sykes are not going to spoil this.

Mrs Birtles August 2021

“I rang approx 2 weeks before the holiday to request a change in the makeup of the beds as one room has the option of being 2 single or 1 kingsize bed.”

This wasn’t done and meant we had to contact the owner to come over and change it the following day. Also, we have booked for next year as we like the property but the price has increased extortionately by £700, a 50% increase. Please can the rationale for this be explained?

“Have used this cottage before and have booked again.”

Mrs Sprus June 2021

“We had a wonderful week at Oak House.”

The accommodation is first class and a real ‘home from home’. Extremely comfortable and immaculately clean. Would highly recommend.

Mr Wolloff June 2021

“Steven's property is wonderfully set up and decorated and supplied with all you'll need.”

It's in such a good location; close enough to the park and the town but away from the crowds. You can really see the care that has been taken to make it work for guests. I can assure you that it easily exceeded my wife's expectations - and that's not easy to do. We plan to be back if we can find a space in the calendar.

“Beautiful, three storey home just a few minutes walk from the centre of Keswick This was our first post-lockdown holiday.”

Not everywhere was open but this allowed us to enjoy the backdrop and facilities in a quieter and more relaxed manner. The town may not have had many people but there was an abundance of young birds, some of whom were nesting in the hedge outside. A 4am wakeup call was not always welcome but the sound of mother sparrow and her fledglings was a delight to behold. Oak House was beautifully presented in tasteful colours. Very Farrow and Ball. It had all the facilities we needed. Four great, double bedrooms. Three bathrooms and a downstairs WC. The utility room was especially useful after long walks where we could leave our muddy boots without tracking through the immaculate home. There was even a very fancy device to heat up your walking boots, should you want to indulge. Parking was on street and we never had an issue - but it was a quiet time. We normally stay in Grasmere but would definitely return to Keswick. There is just so much on your doorstep. Also a fab E-bike rental firm that we used for our exploration around Derwent Water. We would love to return to Oak House next year.

It always lives up to our expectations and is so well equipped. Steve takes great care to ensure his guests have a lovely stay.

“Oak House is exceptional.”

We have never stayed in better. In fact, if I won the Lottery I’d make the owners an offer they couldn’t refuse!
