Lovely Cottage
We had a lovely week at Fairbank, it was perfect for the two of us with our dog. The location is excellent with park opposite, being in the town and lots of walks straight from the cottage. We would definitely return.

Hi Lisa, Thank you for taking the time to leave your review of Fairbank. We're delighted to hear that you had such a lovely week and that the cottage was the perfect fit for you and your dog. It's wonderful to know you enjoyed the excellent location, with the park opposite, easy access to the town, and the many walks straight from the doorstep. Your feedback is greatly appreciated and helps both us and future guests choose the right property for their stay. If you return to Keswick, we'd highly recommend a stroll through Hope Park and down to Derwentwater for some beautiful lakeside views. We would be delighted to welcome you back again. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Good location
Lovely and quiet spot. Perfect for the dog, just across the bridge and straight into Fitz park. Gino liked the little treat box which was left for him. Thank you. Short walk to town centre was great too if tired from hiking. Parking outside cottage is tricky but you do get a car permit for Otley car park which worked very well for us. It is a small car park which fills up, but we could get parked ok with us being slightly out of season. We would stay again.

Thank you, Ann, for taking the time to leave such a lovely review of Fairbank. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful location and that Gino appreciated his welcome treats too. Being so close to Fitz Park and within easy walking distance of Keswick town centre is something many guests love, especially after a day out on the fells. We also appreciate your comments regarding parking, as feedback like this helps future guests decide whether a property is the right fit for them and helps us better understand our guests’ experiences. As a small local agency, we really value reviews like yours and are pleased that the parking permit worked well during your stay. We’d be thrilled to welcome both you and Gino back to Fairbank in the future. On your next visit, a walk along the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth exploring, particularly if you’re looking for another dog-friendly spot with beautiful scenery. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Fairbank needs a refresh
We recently spent a week at Fairbank (3 adults). The location of Fairbank was perfect for us to easily walk into Keswick and to access Fitz Park directly opposite the property. We parked in the nearby Otley Road car park and even though we only moved our vehicle twice during our stay, we always managed to find a space upon returning to it. However, we were slightly disappointed with Fairbank itself. In our opinion, the property is in need of a total refresh. We noticed various scuff marks on the walls, the shelf in the bathroom was completely rusty (not appealing to stand toiletries on), the outdoor furniture was not appealing with a chipped table and no cushions, the toilet seat was so wobbly it was unsafe and the pans in the kitchen were completely unusable. With regard to the toilet seat and pans, we did contact Keswick Cottages to report these and they did take our concerns seriously and sent a very pleasant chap to us who delivered brand new pans and a couple of days later, after returning from a day out, we found that the toilet seat had been fixed too. Hats off to Keswick Cottages for their help and prompt response with these issues. With regards to cleanliness, there were multiple cobwebs in every room, especially on the light shades. The extractor fan in the bathroom needs a complete clean and we found that water backed up when having a shower and upon inspection, we found the plughole was clogged with previous holidaymakers hair! In summary, we would love to stay at Fairbank again as the location is perfect for us, but unfortunately we will not return unless we know the property had undergone a refresh.

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay! It was lovely to meet you during your holiday, we are a small local team always happy to pop out and see our guests. We're sorry that you were disappointed with a couple of things. The owner is conscious Fairbank is a firm favourite for many and cleaning/maintenance is so important for the enjoyment of all visitors. We have discussed your feedback and the owner has confirmed that she has plans to refresh the paintwork, carry out deep cleaning jobs etc during the quieter Autumn/Winter months. We hope you had a fantastic time exploring Keswick and would consider a return in the future. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages
