We loved Barf Cottage. The accommodation was very comfortable and all the rooms really lovely. Luckily the weather was kind to us and we were able to enjoy breakfast and often our afternoon tea and/or evening meal in the very sweet cottage garden. Definitely would love to return again in the future. Portinscale is a perfect location, just a short walk from Keswick town centre and within sight of the lovely village pub, The Farmers Arms. A lovely holiday.

Lovely and clean as usual. A minor leak with the shower was sorted straight away. We felt very safe here with all the extra cleaning and social distancing at Keswick market (Thursday). A very much needed break for us all in this terrible year.

This was a lovely well equipped cosy cottage in an ideal location. It was so nice to stay somewhere which didn't have a lot of rules and regulations and we felt very relaxed and at home, as did our 2 doggies, Moomin and Lemmy!

We had a great week in Barf Cottage - the kids loved all the nooks & crannies + hiding in the big wardrobe! A great base for walking + a lovely place to come home to. We finally saw Skiddaw poke his head out of the clouds by the last day!

A very enjoyable week in a super cosy cottage. Enjoyed lots of walks from the door. Loved playing 'Trivial Persuit' on an evening with a drink! Thank you for a lovely clean, well equipped cottage. Hope to return!

We have had a lovely stay in this great cottage. Everyone so very helpful and friendly too. This is our second year here, & its just as good this time around. Many thanks

What a fab cottage. We have stayed in the Lake District many times but never in Portinscale and loved the location being so close to Keswick. The cottage is spacious and home from home. Some lovely thoughtful touches for the dog and handy bike storage. The weather this week was amazing in the high 20's only a few drops of rain on Friday, first time for us in the Lakes when we didn't need all our waterproofs. Climbed Scafell Pike, Catbells, Maiden Moor and High Spy. Loads of dog walks, drove the Honister pass to Buttermere...stunning! Sad to return to 'flat' Norfolk!

This cottage is in the quiet village of Portinscale, only a 15 minute stroll or 5 minute drive from Keswick. More importantly you can walk into the fells from the door. When you get back you will have a warm and spacious cottage, very well equipped, especially in the kitchen, to enjoy. Highly recommended.

What a little gem this cottage is. The owners have done a splendid job - it is well appointed and with lots of cosy features. Great location - for walks (we had a lovely hike to Catbells) and food (the Chalet is great). Only thing we would change is we would hvae liked to stay longer. Thank you!

Had a lovely time at Barf Cottage all 4 generations of us mother, daughter, grandmother & grandson. Hope to return later this year. Ideal location for us.

Enjoyed your historic cottage - nicely done up and well situated to explore the area. Fire was lovely on wet evenings.

Wonderful warm and cosy cottage. Great location with lots of great walks. We will defiantly be back to Barf Cottage!!
