Amazing location
Perfect location on the most quietest street ever. I can't rave enough about the stunning views. Great garden which was amazing for our dog and totally secure. Loved the gifts for our dog too. Lovely touch. The new sofa in the living room was very cosy. Beds were so comfy. Staff in Keswick Cottages were extremely helpful.

Thank you, Nicola, for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. We're delighted to hear you had such an enjoyable stay and especially appreciate your kind comments about our team. Your feedback is incredibly valuable, not only in helping us continuously improve but also in helping future guests decide whether Skiddaw Heights is the right fit for their holiday. We were sorry to see that cleanliness was rated 3/5 and, had you contacted us during your stay, we would have done our very best to resolve any issues as quickly as possible. Thank you again for staying with us, and we'd love to welcome you and your dog back to Keswick in the future. If you do return, we'd highly recommend a visit to Lake Road Brunch, a great dog-friendly spot to enjoy while you're here. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

wonderful week stay
Thank you for this nice and confortable little house in a very quiet road. We enjoyed our stay and found everything within easy walking distance, Keswick shopping area, cinema and bus stops. Thank you also for the many tips to get around and go for walks. It was nice to have the heating on since the weather was quite wet. The beds are really good even if the bunk beds are a bit tight for 2 adults and the bedroom small. We will definitely come back

Thank you, Pascale, for your lovely review of Skiddaw Heights. We're so pleased to hear that you had such an enjoyable stay and found everything within easy walking distance. It's great to know that our local recommendations helped you make the most of your time in Keswick, even with the less-than-summery weather! Thank you as well for your helpful comments regarding the bunk beds. The fact that you're already planning to come back is the highest compliment we could receive. When you do return, one of our favourite gentle walks is the old railway path to Threlkeld, and we'd definitely recommend treating yourselves to coffee and cake at Lingholm Kitchen afterwards. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Lakes soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.
