“Nice cottage, good location 15 mins walk to Keswick and Skiddaw from the door!”

Cottage is comfortable and has everything needed for a weeks stay.

“This is the fifth time we've stayed at Littlethwaite and we've already booked for next year.”

It is an excellent holiday home, so comfortable and well equipped. Thank you so much for letting us stay. A couple of things though, there was no potato peeler and the tumble drier didn't work. Minor details though as we love our week in Keswick every year. See you next year Littlethwaite x

“The cottage was not quite as clean as we would have expected with quite a few dirty areas with cobwebs and dusty skirting boards.”

rubbish down the settees; hairs on the bedding

“There were several issues with the cottage that should have been addressed as they have been previously mentioned in the maintenance log.”

Small bathroom shower tray drainage blocked so rendered useless so 6 people sharing one shower. Main shower door broken Kettle not switching off Windows dirty Kitchen could have done with a deep clean. Top of fridge was very dirty. Kitchen clock battery which needed replacing and sounds like it has for several years! The cottage was comfortable and beds were excellent just some attention to detail would have made all the difference considering weekly rental charge.

“Little Thwaite was perfect for us.”

Probably the only thing we would have like were more garden loungers or a comfortable table and chairs outdoors two loungers for six occupants is insufficient as the wooden bench/table is very uncomfortable and we were blessed with beautiful weather. Unfortunately due to a bereavement only two of our party visited so it wasn’t an issue for us.

“Delightful holiday house in a great location.”

I hesitate to say I would recommend you as Sykes - who have a bad reputation- have taken over Heart of the Lakes.

KESWICK

Bassenthwaite 7 miles, Ullswater 16.6 miles; Cockermouth 13 miles.

The popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the North of the Lake District and has plenty to offer the visitor at any time of year. The town boasts numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, excellent parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing and great mountain biking opportunities, whilst the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. Nearby, between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw or the famous Catbells, there really is something for everyone. Visit Castlerigg Stone Circle, the Jennings Brewery and Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the Bassenthwaite Lake, or take a fabulous boat trip around Derwentwater. With plenty of attractions for the kids, lovely parks and the nearby Lake District Wildlife Park this is a great Lakeland destination whatever the time of year.
