2nd visit just as perfect as the 1st
Finding accommodation that caters for my disabled mums needs is always challenging. I found Sam's corrage last year and we enjoyed a lovely week. We booked again this year and again we were not disappointed. Everything about the cottage is perfect. Everything you need is provided, any questions are responded to quickly, location is just perfect. My only complaint is it is so far away from us, we'd be there more often if we lived closer. Keswick itself is stunning so many places for food and drinks and lots of lovely little shops. Highly recommend Bassenthwaite Lake train restaurant, a replica of the orient express. Included in the guide provided for Sam's cottage, most definitely the best afternoon tea we've ever had. We will back again next year, for sure

Hi Lindsay, Thank you for your lovely review of Sam's Cottage. We were pleased to welcome you back and we're so pleased to know that your mum's needs were met. The cottage is perfectly located near the centre of Keswick and having parking is an added bonus. Thank you for the recommendation of afternoon tea. Must give it a try! We look forward to hopefully welcoming you back next year! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great location, needing a few adjustments
This was our second visit to Sam's cottage; both times with our adult son in his electric wheelchair. Its location in the town centre is great and much appreciated. We have booked to return next year. There are a few improvements which would make it easier for our son: - the kitchen table is too low for our son to sit at it in his electric wheelchair, so we raised the table by putting books under each table leg. - the fold-up grab rail by the toilet is too low, but a suitably placed book and drink mat raised it sufficiently. - the bed was much too low. It required both my wife and I to help our son stand, despite having bed rails in place, in order to transition to his wheelchair. Next year we will bring adequate blocks to make the required adjustments. We managed to navigate the lane into Baker's Yard without damage to car or property! Needs repeated reversing to get lined up going in and patience from other road users!

Hi Marcus, Thank you for your review. The town centre location of Sam's Cottage is great for easy access to the town's amenities and all it's shops and restaurants. Thank you for the points raised. I will pass these on. We look forward to welcoming you back next year. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Second time we have stayed at this property. My dad is a wheelchair user and the whole property is designed with a wheelchair user in mind without making it overly obvious. Great location, parking, washing machine and welcome pack. We'll definitely be booking for a 3rd time!
