Location is great but it is by a main road so expect a little bit of noise on and off off from the odd bit of passing traffic. Also if you are planning and watching television then you might have issues with iPlayer etc. due to the broadband speeds are less than 3 megabits.

We had a brilliant few days at Forest View. It was a return visit as we love the cottage and location so much. A perfect sized cottage, big enough to have space while small enough to maintain the cosy cottage feeling! The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay including digital tv access for downtime in an evening. We stayed duringRead more a particularly cold spell with snowcapped mountains, making the stay even more magical, and the cottage warmed through brilliantly - we were never cold! Already planning a third return visit! Hide

Very warm and comfortable and clean cottage on the outskirts of Keswick set in a beautiful location. The only downside was its proximity to a busy main road which made it difficult to walk/run straight from the cottage

A lovely cottage with character that is presented to a high standard. Good location, with lovely views of the lake and wood but it is beside a road. Great for dogs including a lovely garden with seating for the evening sun but dogs need to be supervised as it is not fully enclosed. Definitely a lovely place to stay for a holiday.

This cottage is spacious and well equipped with a lovely garden and ample parking. It's well located for Keswick and close to the A66 for exploring the wider Lake District, however there are no walks directly from the cottage which is a shame - you have to drive to get anywhere.

Charming comfortable cottage. There is no back access to the garden so you have to use the front door and go round the side. If your dog is young or doesnt heel you would have to put it on a lead as the road is very close.

Really well presented cottage, all the rooms are lovely and the kitchen is well stocked. The EV charger takes the stress of an electric vehicle away and gives peace of mind. Be nice if the garden was properly enclosed, but a long lead covers that. TV reception could be resolved.

Good location, not far from Keswick with plenty of parking. Not that easy to get out onto the road, as it is quite busy and fast moving in the daytime. Temp dropped during our stay and working out the heating needed the instructions that we eventually found in one of the kitchen drawers. Once the heating was on, the cottage was cosy and warm. WatchRead more out for the low beams in the front bedroom along with the step down into that room. Hide

Good location if you want to be close to Keswick with parking and a good size garden for the dog. Comfortable for 2 people but the second bedroom would only be suitable for children as you can only stand up in the middle bit. Brilliant that it has a car charger available to use.
