Very comfortable and we were able to leave the car in the garage and use public transport to do lots of linear walks. The house had everything we needed and was cosy and warm. Lovely shower.

Hi Leon,
Thank you for your review. Alison's View is located on a quiet street but close to the town centre making it the perfect base for exploring the area. The bus stop is also close to the cottage so once you have parked the car up in the private garage there is no need to move it again. We hope you had a fantastic holiday!
Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Return Visit to Allison's View
A place we have visited before. The house sleeps four, is cosy, clean and very well equipped. It's closeness to the centre of Keswick is very handy (and also to Keswick Cottages, if required, and they are always very pieasant to deal with). There are two flights of stairs, which might deter some people, but the well equipped garage is a big plus.

Hi Ian,
Thank you for your review. Alison's View is in a great location and having the off street parking is an added bonus. The little patio out the back is the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine after a day on the fells or exploring the local area. We hope you had a fantastic holiday.

Hi Kathleen,
Thank you or your review. Alison's Cottage is tucked away on a quiet street but is close to the town centre and has a great advantage of a garage to park in. There is a small shop close by but it is only a 5 minute walk to the town centre and all of the amenities that Keswick has to offer. We look forward to welcoming you back next year.
Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Great weeks stay at Alison's View
Our 2nd stay in this homely house, conveniently situated in the centre of Keswick along with a large garage, so no parking fees. The house is comfortable and has everything you need for a self catering stay in the Lakes. Its easy & quick to take dogs to Fitz Park round the corner as there Is no garden. We had a house keeping problem which was resolved by Keswick Cottages immediately with no quibble. Can highly recommend a holiday at this house. We will return.

A little gem
Alison’s View is perfectly situated in the town. The house is clean, comfortable and well equipped. I couldn’t have wished for more. The garage was a total bonus. We put the car inside and walked everywhere - no need to worry about parking or was the car safe. We’ll definitely look to see if Alison’s View is free when we next visit.

Nice stay at Alisons View
Had a great time as usual in Keswick,accommodation was excellent, everything we needed was provided, garage is brilliant especially with the parking in town being expensive and our big mondeo fitted in no problem. Stairs could be a problem mobility wise but we were fine with them. Normally stay in our caravan but with it being winter this was a nice change

Alison's View, Return Visit.
This was a return visit for us. Alison's View is conveniently situated to enjoy all of Keswick's amenities'
The house is cosy, comfortable, clean and very well equipped. The jewel in the crown (oddly) is the garage, an absolute bonus. This is extremely convenient, spacious and is as equally well equipped as the rest of the house.
We intend to return!

Stay at Allison's view
Excellent location and garage very helpful. Only slight complaint that telly very basic. We came about 5 years ago and same telly. A smart TV would be a good improvement as on rainy days we could put something on, either Utube for kids or Netflix.
Response from VrboOwner on 29 Aug 2023
Hi Stephen, thank you for your review. The addition of the garage is a brilliant feature of Alison's View and the location is perfect for exploring Keswick. The addition of a smart TV will be noted, please check our recommendations for 'What to do on Rainy Days' which provides detail of places and activities to explore on a rainy day. We hope to welcome you back again.

Excellent property
Alison's view is a compact property just off the centre of town, within easy walking distance of the town centre and parks.
Well equipped for four people, you can either cook at home, by in from Booths supermarket or use any of the restaurants, pubs or takeaways in the town.
It has the additional benefit of a (large) garage where the car sat and we either walked or used the excellent local bus service.
Children's toys, games, high chair and even a buggy are there to use.
An excellent property.

Return to Alison's View
We have just enjoyed our third visit to Alison's View. As before we found the house to be comfortable, clean and very cosy. from weather forecasts we expected a tricky week with snow - this fortunately never materialised. We enjoyed fine, cold weather during which the garage proved to be a real boon (no de-icing required!). The house is so handy for all the amenities in Keswick, we would certainly look forward to a further visit.

Alison's View
3 night break in November and Alison's View did not disappoint. Fab little cottage and we will probably come back at some time.
Pro's: Great location, only a few minutes from the hustle and bustle of Keswick centre.
The garage is a huge bonus as parking in Keswick centre is becoming harder every year. Parked up and never used the car until it was time to come home.
Cottage is very well equipped and there are plenty of films and games to keep people entertained
Con's: The fridge door needs some attention, it stays open slightly as the covering door is not seated correctly.
The shower is not very powerful but ok.
The bed is comfy but a little small for our preference.
Summary: Really enjoyed our short break and will probably rebook at some time in the future. Lovely little cottage
