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.

Great location.
We found the cottage very clean and comfortable. It has everything you'd need for a short break. The location is fantastic, a few steps away from Fitz park, which is very dog friendly and has 2 nice cafes. We didn't use the car all week as lots of walks straight from the door or easily accessible by bus or ferry. The long stay car park round the corner was fine and a permit comes with the cottage. We brought the car up to the house to load/unload it. It's a very short walk to town, and it's easy to get down to the Lakeside (maybe 10/15 minutes walk). We'd happily stay there again. Communication with Keswick cottages was impressively good and quick.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you found the cottage clean, comfortable, and well equipped with everything you needed for your stay. It’s wonderful to know you made the most of the fantastic location too. Being just steps from Fitz Park, within easy walking distance of the town centre and Derwentwater, and with so many walks, bus routes, and lake cruises accessible without needing the car really does make it a fantastic base for a Lake District holiday. We’re pleased to hear the parking arrangements worked well for you, and that having the permit included made things straightforward during your stay. Your kind words about our team mean a great deal to us as well. As a small, local, independent business, we pride ourselves on providing a personal and responsive service, so it’s lovely to hear that stood out during your stay. Thank you again for your recommendation. We’re delighted you had such an enjoyable week and would happily stay again — we’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Perfect Location!
This was our 3rd stay at Fairbank and we book it purely for the location: love the ease of access to the town centre, yet there's a feeling of being in the countryside due to the quiet lane and view of the river and park. The house is absolutely fine: the bed is comfy, it's warm and has a little suntrap of a garden at the back. If I were to suggest improvements it would be: provide a long length mirror and a large pot for cooking. We'll definitely be back!!!

Thank you for your continued support and for choosing Fairbank for a third stay. We're delighted to hear that the property's unique combination of peaceful surroundings and easy access to Keswick town centre keeps drawing you back. It's wonderful to know you enjoyed the comfort of the house, the riverside views, and the sunny garden, and we look forward to welcoming you back again for a fourth visit... Especially now that the owner has bought a full length mirror and a large cooking pot! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.
