Close to town centre and spacious
Spacious property, within walking distance of town. Did report that bins were overflowing outside with black bags piled high both on the floor and on top of the bins on two occasions (appeared bins had not been cleared for weeks). Some areas of 5he property were a little dusty otherwise clean. The kitchen is rather small for a property of its size making it a bit difficult to have more than one person using it at a time, and bath a bit tight to get in/out of. Beds comfy.

Hi, Jane! Thank you so much for taking the time to share your feedback — we really do appreciate it. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the spaciousness of Acorn and its easy walking distance to town, and that the beds were comfortable. We’re genuinely sorry about the bin situation you encountered. Bin collections are managed by the local authority rather than by us or the property owners, but we completely understand how frustrating it is to arrive and find them overflowing. We made every effort to get this resolved during your stay, and we’re grateful for your patience while we chased the council. It’s definitely not the welcome we want guests to have. Thank you as well for noting the bit of dust you spotted — we’ll follow up with housekeeping to make sure everything is up to our usual standards going forward. Acorn has quite a unique layout, and you’re right about both the compact kitchen and the rather quirky bath. The kitchen works well for day?to?day use, but it can feel tight if more than one person is trying to navigate it at once. Your comments are really helpful, and we’ll make sure they’re taken into account as we continue to review the property. We’re really glad that, despite these things, you found the property comfortable overall, and we appreciate your honest and balanced feedback. It helps us continue improving the experience for future guests. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Fantastic stay
2nd visit to this gorgeous cottage. Beautiful as ever. Everything you could need like home from home. Trimmed up ready for Christmas which we loved. Spotlessly clean. Having the fire made it very cosy. So close to centre with so many beautiful shops/pubs and attractions. Loved the Christmas/victorian market. Such a lovely community. Will book again soon. Thank you

Mid week stay at Acorn cottage
We had a very comfortable stay from Monday to Friday at Acorn cottage despite some rather wet weather. The cottage was nicely decorated and furnished and well equipped. It is well positioned to walk in to Keswick to take advantage of Keswick's attractions.

Hi, Alan! It's great to hear that you enjoyed your stay. While the weather wasn't great, it's a great excuse to use the open fireplace with a traditional Lakeland stone surround, and we do have washer/dryer facilities in the kitchen for cleaning up after a wet day! On the second floor there are two single bedrooms with views of Castle Head and Walla Cragg, so even if you didn't get to hike up, at least you had a brilliant view. We hope you'll consider visiting again in summer! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Brilliant week in Keswick, we do love it here. Lots of walking, eating and drinking. Baby Isabella's first holiday. She loved it. The sun has shone all week. Crazy golf and Pitch and Putt good fun. Exhibition in the Theatre by the Lake also worth a look. Great eat in and take out curry from Lakeland Spice. Bit of trouble with the wifi password but Keswick Cottages fixed it and also located the cutlery drawer which is very well hidden! Fabulous accomodation, very clean and comfy beds which makes such a difference. Thank you for the dog treats!
