A very nice , clean and comfortable cottage. The views from the courtyard across the fields to Skiddaw were lovely. Not the easiest to locate even though it was above and backed onto the A591. Near to a bus stop ( 400m ) if you wanted to go into Keswick or Cockermouth without the car.

The cottage is situated in a beautiful setting, close to 2 public houses albeit the closest one closed for Christmas. It has beautiful views and many walks close by including Catbells which is ideal for all the family only a few minutes drive away.

Lovely cottage on the edge of Bassenthwaite village, ideal location for visiting the more northern lakes and Keswick. Very comfortable beds, good shower and spotlessly clean. Nice pubs nearby - we tried the Sun Inn in the village and The Pheasant just a few minutes drive round the top of the Lake.

Very pleased with location,cleanliness and comfort of the cottage. Unfortunately we were let down by heating not being switched on prior to our arrival as detailed in the welcome book (arriving with the temperature at 8 degrees Cent.). While kitchen and bedroom heaters could be switched to provide instant heat, the storage heater in the lounge beinRead moreg on "off peak" (on at 12 midnight) did not produce any heat until the following day. This was completely unacceptable as the living room was too cold to be used. Arriving after 3.00pm we should not have been expected to go searching for logs for the stove, and in any case for the price paid for the property the least we could have expected was a starter kit for the stove. We note from the visitors book that a welcome pack has been provided, which we did not get. This spoiled our first day and initial impressions of the property. Hide
