Reviews

Excellent location, very clean and very well equipped.
Very well equipped property with off street parking and plenty of off street parking, located within 10 minutes walk of the town centre. Everything was very clean and well maintained and the hot tub was very welcome, particularly during a hot period of weather. Beds were very comfortable. Only minor quibble was that there did not appear to be a bin into which to deposit our general refuse, so we had to bag it up and put it into the blue bin.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you found the property so well equipped, clean, and well maintained, and that the off?street parking and easy walk into the town centre worked well for you. It’s great to know the hot tub was such a welcome feature too — especially during the recent warm weather — and that the beds helped make your stay extra comfortable. Thank you as well for your feedback regarding the bins. We’re sorry for any confusion. The blue bin is intended for general waste at this property, but we appreciate that this may not have been as clear as it could have been. We’ll review the information provided to help avoid any uncertainty for future guests. We’re really pleased you had such an enjoyable stay overall and would be very happy to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Short Stay Review
I had a very enjoyable stay at Skiddaw Heights. The accommodation was perfect for what I was looking for and also very walkable to both the town centre and Derwentwater. The hot tub was very much appreciated after a day's walking. It may have been my first stay in this property but I don't think it will be my last.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable stay at Skiddaw Heights and that the accommodation was just right for what you were looking for. It’s great to know you made the most of the fantastic location, with easy walks into the town centre and down to Derwentwater. And we couldn’t agree more — the hot tub really is the perfect way to relax after a day out exploring the fells. We’re especially pleased to hear you’re already thinking about returning — that’s the best compliment we could receive. We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great place, great views
Very well organised. Great place with all needed facilities. Not too far away from shops & restaurants but not too close either. Great heating system. Great view of hills & town that may lead to a lot of time at the windows

Hi there! Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you found everything well organised and that the property had all the facilities you needed for a comfortable stay. It’s great to know the location struck the perfect balance — close enough for easy access to shops and restaurants, yet far enough away to enjoy some peace and quiet. We’re also pleased the heating system kept you cosy and comfortable. And it sounds like those views were a real highlight too — we can completely understand how they might keep drawing you back to the windows! We’d be very happy to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
