Lovely old cottage
This was our first time staying in Acorn Cottage and thoroughly enjoyed it. We visited over the Easter break and the weather was v mixed so it was so nice to come back to somewhere cosy and warm. A little welcome pack provided (tea/coffee/biscuits) and some washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, oven gloves, tea towels also supplied. A good porch for dirty walking boots etc. Plenty of room in the living room for 6 people with 2 large sofas and a chair and separate spacious dining room. The bedrooms were lovely with comfy beds, a small bathroom but perfectly adequate and plenty of hot water. The kitchen is also small but well equipped tho could do with a bread knife, and is generally in need of an update. I found some dirty bowls and plates in the cupboards but put this down to previous occupants not checking them when taking them out of the dishwasher, as they were still wet too. We didn't use to the utility area or back yard but useful to have if needed. Location is fantastic as very close to the shops (5 minute walk) and loads of walks from the doorstep. Parking was a bit of an issue for us as there was no space in front of the cottage when we first arrived so had to unload the car from over the street in the wet which wasn't great. Realise it was Easter week so very busy but a shame there isn't an allocated space for the cottage. Despite this however we did have a great holiday and absolutely loved the cottage. Thanks very much.
Nice cottage, great location
Pleasant stay, great location close to everything. Property is clean and comfy, stayed before and would definitely stay again. Only issue is with the gate at the side to the rear doesn't close properly and dogs can get out onto the road.

Thank you so much for your review! love that your returning guests to Acorn Cottage! We're so happy you found it clean, comfy and in a great location. Thank you for your comment about the rear gate, we will fix this for future guests. We hope you had a wonderful time and we look forward to welcoming you when you next return. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Half term break
Good size cottage, ideal for two small families.plenty of space for everyone. Nice little welcome pack to start us off. Location ideal for walking into Keswick. Could do with more up to date central heating instructions - we were sweating during the night & couldn’t figure out how to turn it off!

Thank you so much for your review! We're happy you found Acorn Cottage ideal for two small families and still feel spacious. We are so glad you enjoyed the complimentary welcome pack. We agree Acorn Cottage is located ideally to have a short walk into Keswick. Thank you for your comments about the central heating, we will update this for future guests. We hope you had a brilliant holiday and we hope to welcome you back again. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Acorn Cottage was beautifully presented, had a lovely warm family feel and was very close to all the amenities. Very comfortable beds and plenty of space for 6 people. We all loved this cottage and will hopefully be back in the future. Thank you for making us feel so welcome.
A lovely, warm, comfortable cottage in a great location. We had an issue with no space to park outside the cottage on our arrival so unloading in the wet wasn't great. A car eventually moved but one remained directly in front of our cottage all week which was frustrating. We still had a wonderful holiday however and realise parking is beyond your control. No complaints with the cottage. Many thanks.
Had a wonderful stay at Acorn Cottage for my birthday with friends. A gorgeous spacious cottage, nicely furnished with lots of character. In a fantastic location, short walk into town, quiet at night. The hosts were very responsive, friendly & accomodating with our requests. I would highly recommend Acorn Cottage as a really lovely place to stay in Keswick.
