Family lakes trip

Lovely house for a weeks stay in Keswick. Plenty room for all of us which included 4 kids and a dog. Very clean and well equipped. We had a couple of small issues which were resolved very quickly after contacting the office. Would use this property again

Walking holiday with friends

A great holiday let for walks around Keswick. The house was large enough for us all with great social spaces. Easy walk into the town to the pub and shops. Very comfortable house and had all we needed for our short break. Parking space quite tight. Only downside hence the three for customer service was that we did find the emails and texts about leaving a little intruding, felt we were reminded about obligations to leave when we’d just arrived, you might wish to review this when the stay is a short three night stay.

We had an great stay in Wordsworth House, fantastic location and everything provided you could need

The house is in a great location, out the way of the hustle and bustle but only about an 8 minute walk into the center of Keswick. The Lakes through everything at us weather wise but the house was a warm and inviting place to come back too. It is very well equipped with everything you need and generally got parked right outside. Overall we had a fantastic stay and would highly recommend.

Hi, Michael! We're so glad that you enjoyed your stay. While we can't make any promises about the weather, we can promise that Wordsworth House is always a brilliant base for all your Lake District adventures. Perfectly located, even with an incredibly popular bakery nearby, beautifully decorated, and always kept to the highest standards. We like to dot all our is and cross the ts, so, prior to arrival, our dedicated housekeeping team ensure that the properties are warm, and even provide a 'welcome pack' with everything you need to have a brew and a biscuit on arrival. We can't wait to see you again next time! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Great location and spacious property.

This is a great property in a very good location but there are a couple of negatives; yard needed to be jet washed, beds not all that comfortable, toilet flush in two bathrooms very poor but still enjoyed our stay.

Convenient, Comfortable and Central Accommodation

Wordsworth House in Keswick is a prime location. Easy to find on the drive into Keswick and less than 10 minutes walk to the town centre (with pram). Spacious living spaces, good size rooms, plenty of washrooms, and washer/dryer meant right fit with ample room.

Amazing stay in beautiful property

Excellent communication & service from Keswick Cottages from start to finish. The house is lovely (much nicer in our opinion than the pictures) house is very clean, comfy beds, excellent water pressure on showers & the house is so well equipped with everything you might need during your stay. Only a five minute walk to Keswick centre where there are a multitude of pub/restaurants & shops. Fantastic stay, fantastic weather in a lovely part of the UK

Great place to stay

Lovely place for a large group. Very comfortable beds. The twin bedded room is a bit tight for space between the beds. Ok for youngsters. Good bathroom/showers Very large kitchen and dining area. So spacious it can be echoey. We didn’t use the parking space so there’s room for children to play outside or to sit out in the sun. Overall, this a very nice place to stay and just a short walk to the park and to the centre of Keswick. Would definitely choose it again.

Lovely house with plenty of room

The house was very spacious and had plenty of room for 6 and a dog. The kitchen was very well stocked, there were enough towels and the cleaning pack/welcome pack was fine. The WiFi provided was good. The parking g space was quite tight for our Seat Atteca so we parked on the street. This was fine each day as there were plenty of on street spaces outside property. The heating worked well, the property was very warm. The beds were comfy. The place was clean but I noticed a few areas that are obviously not cleaned regularly, such as the radiator in upstairs bathroom and the decorative cushions on bed had (dog ?) hair all over them. The shower tray panel in top ensuite is loose and coming away. The bedroom above kitchen could do with a mirror. The whole house is decorated nicely and has everything you need. Keswick Cottages communicated regularly and the information was clear. One thing I found off putting was that they were contacting me early on Thursday to go over our leaving instructions. I feel this is too early, our holiday was still on the go and they were already saying bye! This email should be sent later the night before...it was a short holiday, I didn't need reminding that it was over the next day. On the whole I would definitely stay here again.

One of the best houses we’ve stayed in in Keswick

Great stay in a lovely house. Very clean and well equipped. Beds are comfortable and fitted with quality sheets, although are only doubles and singles. The singles have boards at the end so are not ideal for adults. The lounge is lovely with windows to three aspects. We had an issue with the en-suite shower trays not draining which we informed Keswick Cottages about on the first day of our stay. These were apparently fixed quickly however the company neglected to tell us and so we continued to use the shower over the bath which is very slippy. When we eventually used the showers they were extremely powerful. The towels provided were lovely and fluffy but the only place we found to dry them was the airing cupboard (limited space available). The towel rails like the rest of the central heating refused to turn on. On wet days, drying things could be an issue for larger parties. There was no photo of the outside space when we booked. This has recently had a new fence and gate erected which meant that the dog was secure. The picnic bench has seen better days and this area lets the quality of the house down somewhat. We did manoeuvre our VW golf into the parking spot on the first day, but it wasn’t easy and certainly wouldn’t fit a larger car. Parking though was no problem (even in August) we were always able to find a spot on the road nearby. We had a lovely stay at Wordsworth House, our dog absolutely loved meeting new friends and running around in Fitz Park (2 minutes away) and would recommend the house to others.

Great stay in Keswick

We had a fantastic week at this lovely house in Keswick. It was the perfect size for two families and our two dogs — plenty of space for everyone to relax and feel comfortable. The property was clean on arrival and really well equipped. The location couldn’t have been better — just a short walk into town and right near the park, which was perfect for walking the dogs. The parking space was a bit tight but we never had any issues with on-street parking, always lots available right outside the property. Communication from Keswick Cottages was excellent from start to finish, and the thoughtful dog welcome treats were such a lovely touch! We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.
