A good week at Acorn Cottage
We had a very good week staying in Acorn Cottage the property was very clean and the beds comfortable. The cottage is well equipped we didn't really want for anything. Our dogs even had their own welcome pack of treats and a chewy rope. Our only criticism is that the settees were quite low, so all in all we were very happy.

Hi David, Thank you for your review. Acorn Cottage is on a quiet street but is still close to the hustle and bustle of Keswick Town centre with it's quirky shops and many places to eat and drink. We hope your dogs enjoyed their welcome packs and that you all had a fantastic stay. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

I have recommeded this to family and friends and I would certainly return. Thank you

Property as described. Great location.
Brilliant week in Keswick, we do love it here. Lots of walking, eating and drinking. Baby Isabella's first holiday. She loved it. The sun has shone all week. Crazy golf and Pitch and Putt good fun. Exhibition in the Theatre by the Lake also worth a look. Great eat in and take out curry from Lakeland Spice. Bit of trouble with the wifi password but Keswick Cottages fixed it and also located the cutlery drawer which is very well hidden! Fabulous accomodation, very clean and comfy beds which makes such a difference. Thank you for the dog treats!
Had a great stay in Keswick, cottage is in great location. Would recommend it.
