Reviews

Good location and well equipped
This was just what we needed to be close to family staying in Keswick. A great base with a parking spot (parking can be challenging in Keswick!) The hot tub was lovely and the views were great. The kitchen had everything needed (the cutlery is in an hidden drawer in a bigger drawer) and all was exactly as described eg no shower gel just hand wash. It was well heated and nicely decorated.

Hi, Katherine! Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. We’re really pleased Skiddaw Heights worked so well as a base for being close to family in Keswick, and that the parking space was helpful – we know how valuable that can be. It’s great to hear you enjoyed the hot tub, the views, and found everything well equipped, warm, and exactly as described. We’re delighted you appreciated the décor and comforts, and we’d be very happy to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Lovely bungalow with amazing views
Bungalow has amazing views from lounge and kitchen. Lovely kitchen with plenty of storage space and bonus having dishwasher. Super comfy bed in the main bedroom and great to have plenty, practical furniture such as wardrobe and draws and not just a few hangers and shelves. As in previous reviews the settee is uncomfortable especially sitting for long periods of time. Hot tub was great although felt a bit weird going out the front door to go through gate to steps down to it. It's not far into the centre about 5-10 min walk and in a nice quiet area. All in all it was a great place and would recommend it. Keswick Cottage staff were really friendly and helpful.

Hey, Lynn! Thank you so much for leaving a review for Skiddaw Heights. We always say that your reviews make a difference, and they really do! Skiddaw Heights now has a new sofa. The location, facilities, and amenities of this property are all superb, and we hope to see you again soon to try out the new couch. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
