Guests say

High Hill Farm Cottage in Keswick is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its spaciousness, comfort, and prime location. Guests appreciate the well-equipped facilities, the property's cleanliness, and the private outdoor seating area. While there are some minor maintenance issues and suggestions for improvement, the overall sentiment is positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.

The property is generally regarded as clean, with several reviews highlighting its spotless condition. However, a few guests noted specific areas, such as the microwave and a rug, that could have been cleaner. These appear to be isolated incidents rather than a trend.

The location is highly praised for being close to the centre of Keswick and within walking distance to the lake, offering convenience and tranquillity. The presence of private parking is also appreciated, adding to the property's appeal.

Guests find the cottage comfortable, with ample space, large bedrooms, and cosy seating areas. The beds are described as comfortable, ensuring a good night's rest. The garden's furniture and the absence of a downstairs toilet were the only comfort-related concerns mentioned.

The cottage is well-equipped with a variety of kitchenware and has adequate bathrooms. Some guests mentioned minor maintenance issues like door locks and a lack of basic supplies such as dishwasher tablets and toilet rolls. Building works nearby were noted but did not significantly impact the stay.

While some guests mentioned a welcome pack, there is insufficient information to assess the consistency or quality of these gestures. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such amenities will be provided for future guests.

About this property

Step inside to the hallway that links the living accommodation on the ground floor. The spacious sitting room with dining area has comfortable sofas arranged around the TV and fireplace and the windows frame the views to the northern mountains of the Lake District. The dining area is presented with a large family dining table. On the otherside of the hallway is the well-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar and an additional sitting area with TV and to the rear of the house is the utility room with laundry facilities.

Choose from one of three bedrooms, the first is presented with an ensuite bathroom with feature bath and the further two bedrooms are complemented by a family bathroom and separate shower room.

To the front of the house are the two parking spaces and to the rear is a westerly facing patio with outdoor garden furniture and benefiting from beautiful views to the mountains.

Just a five minute walk from High Hill Farm Cottage is Keswick’s market square with a great array of shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. Walk just a few minutes further and guests arrive at the shores of Derwentwater. Walkers will be delighted by the great choice of walks from the town including high level walks to the mountain skylines or low level valley or lakeshore strolls. Mountain bikers will be drawn to the mountain bike trails of the neighbouring Whinlatter Forest.

The popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the North of the Lake District and has plenty to offer the visitor at any time of year. The town boasts numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, excellent parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing and great mountain biking opportunities, whilst the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. Nearby, between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw or the famous Catbells, there really is something for everyone. Visit Castlerigg Stone Circle, the Jennings Brewery and Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the Bassenthwaite Lake, or take a fabulous boat trip around Derwentwater. With plenty of attractions for the kids, lovely parks and the nearby Lake District Wildlife Park this is a great Lakeland destination whatever the time of year.

  • Ken

    It has a great location of just 5 minutes walk into Keswick. It is also central to a lot of walks. We did Walla, Catsbells, Lattig and Skiddaw. The cottage was very clean a spacious with all amenities you could ask for.

  • Margaret

    Had everything required. The only thing we found would have been an asset would have been a downstairs toilet due to the fact we are all fairly old. LOL

  • Victoria

    Would benefit from a downstairs WC but plenty upstairs to choose from. The main downside is the wifi which is poor, intermittent and only works in certain areas of the house.
