Peaceful short break
This was our second visit to Roslin. It is situated in a quiet cul de sac in the village of Portinscale. A five minute drive or a 20 minute walk into Keswick. Parking for two cars directly outside the property. The house has the most amazing views from the rear to the Skiddaw range of mountains. There is a small enclosed front garden and a very large rear garden overlooking a field and the River Derwent. The house is well maintained, warm with efficient central heating and spotlessly clean. The kitchen is well equipped. We take a small portable radio as there isn't one at the property. There is a washing machine available if needed and a secure storage area for bikes if required. The beds were extremely comfortable with plenty of fluffy towels left. We had a couple of minor maintenance issues which were dealt with swiftly by Keswick Cottages who offer brilliant customer service. This is a little gem of a property for those who love the North Lakes and offers a great resting place away from the bust town of Keswick but close enough to get to if needed.

Thank you so much for your 5-star review of Roslin! We love that this was your second visit and that you found that the house is well maintained, warm and spotlessly clean. We're so happy you found the kitchen well equipped and that the beds were extremely comfortable with fluffy towels provided. Thank you for your kind comments about our team rectifying your issues swiftly and for saying we provide brilliant customer service, as a small local agency we really appreciate you taking the time to review your holiday.

Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

A Comfy Stay
We had a comfy stay at Roslin. Clean and warm when we arrived, the house suited all our requirements. Comfy, if a little hard beds, but we slept well. The kitchen was well equipped and the lounge comfy. The kitchen could use an extractor fan and better lighting, but these are minor points. Because of the weather we didn't use the back garden. The views of Skiddaw are great and the location, close to Keswick and entirely walkable is good.

Thank you so much for your review! We're so happy you had a comfy stay at Roslin. We are pleased you found it warm and clean upon arrival and that it suited all your requirements. We're glad you found the kitchen well equipped and that the lounge was comfortable. Thank you for your comments about the extractor fan and lighting in the kitchen, its really helpful to receive this feedback. The views of Skiddaw from Roslin are amazing and it isn't situated too far to enjoy a stroll into Keswick. We hope you had a wonderful stay and we hope to welcome you back again. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Lovely last minute break
Recently returned from a last minute break staying at Roslin in Portinscale. Keswick cottage staff were amazing helping us find the ideal cottage for our needs. Roslin was warm,comfortable and clean. It has outstanding views of Skiddaw from the large rear windows. For us it had the added benefit of a large enclosed garden for our 2 dogs and parking for 2 cars. It's great for walks from the door. Have booked with Keswick cottages before and can guarantee accurate reviews and excellent service. Would definitely return and very happy to recommend Keswick cottages.

Thank you so much for this lovely review and recommendation! We are so happy that you found our team helpful with finding the perfect cottage for you and your party. We are so glad you found Roslin, warm, clean and comfortable. We agree the views of Skiddaw are amazing! We bet your two dogs enjoyed playing in the enclosed garden, and enjoyed exploring all the walks you went on. Parking is a great bonus of the cottage! Thank you so much for your kind words about our customer service, as a small local agency we truly appreciate any feedback we are given so we can continue to provide excellent customer service and that our guests have the best holiday! We can't wait to welcome you back when you next visit. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Incredible locations and views!
A second visit to Roslin. Its location was ideal for us. Set in Portinscale in a quiet cul de sac with amazing views towards Skiddaw. Parking directly outside. A small front garden and a large rear garden. A side porch for storing boots or bikes which also houses a washing machine. The house was spotlessly clean and freshly painted. The house has central heating and a large kitchen diner fully equipped. The lounge is comfortable. The master bedroom is massive and the second bedroom had 2 single beds. Bathroom with bath and separate shower. Walks from the house into Keswick takes 20 minutes or 5 minutes in the car. If your looking for clean comfortable accommodation in a peaceful location with amazing views then Roslin is the place to go.
We’ve had a lovely stay at Roslin. Place was basic, but clean and very very warm. It’s one of those too hot or too cold houses. The double bed was super comfortable! I would like one at my house. We didn’t have good weather but the views were superb and in the summer the garden would be wonderful to relax in. The dog loved the garden and was safe and secure. Easy to walk into Keswick from the house, a good local pub and a lovely spot for breakfast down the lane called The Chalet. Lots of walks you could do from the front door. All in all, would definitely return.
