Overview

Sam’s Cottage, named after the property owner's 16 year old nephew who suffers from cerebral palsy and has limited accessibility, is Keswick’s first and only fully accessible holiday let. Set back in a quiet courtyard, this two bedroom bungalow sleeps 2-3 people and is ideally positioned for all the town centre has to offer, complete with one allocated parking space. There is a cinema, shops, bars and restaurants all within 100 meters of the front door. The property is newly constructed and furnished to a high standard. Purposely built with Sam in mind can be a real haven for those with disabilities to enjoy their independence while visiting this beautiful Lakeland town.

Oasis in the centre of Keswick
Lovely cottage in the centre of town. Just 2 mins away from the town centre, yet set in a quiet yard. All amenities within a stones throw. Very comfortable. If you are visiting in a larger vehicle, don't forget to pull your wing mirrors in when going through the arch !

Good , a few niggles
Although the cleanliness was very good, there were several chips on some grab rails and rusty screws in the toilet because of being a wet room. Everything gets soaked.The toilet has to be dried before it can be used. Also, there is no toilet lid. I know the property was built exclusively for Sam but if it's to be let then guests should be catered for too. Watch out for sloping floors if a walker or rollator is used, you'll find them rolling away from you tout de suite!

Handy location
Sams cottage suited our needs. My wife uses a wheelchair quite a lot of the time. The property has wide doors and grab bars in the spacious bathroom. The town centre location is ideal, providing easy access to shops and amenities. The only minor criticism would be the location of the TV, it's as far away from the seating area as I could be. Access to the parking area would be a problem for larger cars. Otherwise a great little cottage in a great location.

Hi Norman, Thank you for your review. Sam's Cottage is in a handy town centre location, close to all the shops and restaurants and Keswick's independent Alhambra cinema. We do include the width of the entrance to the parking area in our handy digital guide so you can check to see if your car will fit. We hope you had a fantastic holiday! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Second time we have stayed at this property. My dad is a wheelchair user and the whole property is designed with a wheelchair user in mind without making it overly obvious. Great location, parking, washing machine and welcome pack. We'll definitely be booking for a 3rd time!
