What our customers say about their holidays

  This was a well equipped house although the kettle could do with replacing!

  The rooms were a great size and there was plenty of space for our party of four adults, one child and a dog. I drive a Ford Kuga and with care we were able to just get it in the garage..just beware of the sandbags at the rear. It was well located and the building works had no effect at all on our stay. We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the rear patio area which was well used buy us in the nice weather. The negatives we have is that once you get to the property you see that there are notices saying that dogs are not allowed on the furniture nor upstairs. The furniture I understand as damage could be caused but the reason for not allowing dogs upstairs was to prevent future guests with allergies from having a reaction. This made no sense in a property which allows dogs, especially when there were items of furniture that were costed in dust! In order to prevent our dog jumping on furnishings overnight we closed the doors to the living areas, but there is no door to block off upstairs. Thankfully we’d brought our pet bed and was able to coach our dog to stay in the hall, but it could be an issue for other dogs. Also, the property was only supplied with three toilet rolls which seems quite low for a 5 star property that sleeps six.

  The house is lovely, the rooms are all a great size, We could not believe the amount of kitchen equipment, so many cupboards full of everything needed for self catering.

  We usually find there is enough crockery and cutlery for just the amount of people the home is for, High Hill Farm catered for a lot more . Everything was of good quality from the towels to the bedding. The gardens front and back would be great for a nice day but we were staying for New Year and it was too we and cold to sit out, the dog loved it though. The children loved the sitting area which is part of the kitchen and played in there as often as they could. Very close to the town and walks. There is a sausage place behind the house where you can purchase sausages and bacon which is handy for breakfasts. The pencil factory is only Two minutes away. The museum is not far and your ticket is valid for 12 months. The children 6 and 3 years loved it, so did the adults. I have seen reviews stating there is not extra toilet paper or no treats etc, it is self catering, if you do get these things it is a bonus but not expected in my opinion. The heating was exceptional, it was freezing outside and we were never cold, we have been wishing we could go back just for the warmth. Highly recommend this home from home.

  We absolutely loved High Hill Farm Cottage.

  It provided the ideal base for our family group (six adults plus one dog) to enjoy the New Year in Keswick. The house is extremely well equipped and comfortable with enough room to give us all our own space when required. The location was perfect - sufficiently out of town to be peaceful and yet only a five minute walk to all the local facilities. As the town was busy and getting a meal out could prove difficult, we cooked on most days and the kitchen had everything we could possibly have needed and more. Our only slight criticism concerns the rug beneath the coffee table in front of the TV in the kitchen. It was absolutely filthy and this seemed so out of keeping with the rest of the house which was so spotlessly clean. A minor point, but one which would be easy to rectify. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay at High Hill Farm Cottage again and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Keswick.

  The apartment was superb.

  ..really well designed with a high spec interior it had everything you could wish for. The bathroom in particular was fantastic. A wonderful deep bath to soak the muscles after a days walking... The location is fantastic, only 2 mins from town but still a quiet location. There was a parking space in the buildings car park... probably the only negative as it's a bit tricky parking a large car, but you do get used to it..you need to reverse in !! Keswick is a wonderful base, the town has LOTS of really good places to eat, the fellpack was the best and closest.. (hence we didn't use the flats lovely kitchen very much). Quick mention for Angela the housekeeper a real asset, very helpful and knowledgeable... Pointed us in the direction of the best Chinese takeaway. (Golden hills). All in all an excellent stay and we really hope to return. Thankyou!

  Before leaving for Wythebank we contacted you twice to arrange for a mid stay re supply of towels and bed linen but no cleaning of the property!

  On the Thursday of the first week we contacted you to confirm the re supply of towels/linen we were offered Friday or Saturday my wife confirmed Friday We waited in all day as you could not confirm AM/ PM delivery no delivery was made consequently we lost a whole day of our holiday waiting in And the result of this was we had to wash our own bedding and towels! We had expected a better service/experience as it was not a cheap holiday we had chosen You need to improve your administration the lack of service quality was highlighted because after we contacted you three times our requests were not fulfilled The property was fantastic the location was perfect however the lack of oversight by you cast a cloud over what we had hoped would be a holiday to be remembered
