High Spec - great location

this is a great apartment in a fantastic location. The parking is very difficult - i.e. to narrow for standard cars - but long-term parking is close.

Our 2nd visit to Isobel Cottage

A super comfortable one bedroom cottage in an excellent location in the centre of Keswick. Dog friendly and the glorious Fitz Park is just down the road. The narrow access road/alley made parking difficult so we opted for a pass in the local public parking. Very convenient for the shops, local walks and the bus station. This is our second time at Isobel Cottage and I am sure we will return,

Great little property

Little gem, everything what you needed for short stay mon-fri. Clean and comfortable property with all the extras, so you don't neeed to bring kitchen sink. Quiet and peaceful yet in the heart of keswick. Alley was extremely tight, mirror to mirror on kia sportage but plenty of free parking around locally so no need to risk scratching car. Definitely stay again.

The cottage was comfortable and well equipped, good location in the town centre, but the instructions on how to find the cottage weren't very accurate. To say the lane to the cottage and ease of parking were tricky is an understatement, extremely difficult small space to park and blocked in by the neighbours. Area surrounding the property was scruffy. For personal reasons, we had to leave a couple of days early, email communication with Keswick Cottages was not responded to. Sent 3 emails to inform them.....still waiting for a reply!

Lovely stay in a great spot

Very nice cottage in an ideal location in Keswick. You do need to be a confident driver with a small-to-medium sized car to use the parking space and not feel somewhat stressed but we found it fine. The cottage is well equipped with modern fittings and was very comfortable. Very easy access to good restaurants and pubs.

Lovely stay in Isabel Cottage

Isabel Cottage is in a great location, worth paying the additional fee for a parking permit as parking outside the cottage could be very difficult. The cottage was very clean, modern and comfortable. Could benefit from additional larger drawer storage in the bedroom. But other than that perfect.

Great location and great sleep!

Great location for exploring Keswick and the lovely restaurants and bars. Excellent to have a parking space. The description is very clear and helpful and the route to get in is definitely tight. We have a Skoda Yeti and we just managed but anything bigger might struggle. Very well equipped and very lovely comfortable bed and great shower.

A great cottage in the centre of Keswick

Isabel cottage is in an ideal location right in the centre of Keswick. The cottage was very clean on arrival. The whole cottage is of a high standard for a holiday rental with the kitchen containing all you need. The bedroom is very comfortable and the super-king bed great. The shower room again was a very high standard. The cottage was lovely and warm and the log burner was enjoyed on an evening. The only small negatives were the sofa is not very comfortable and we thought the sitting room could be improved with 2 comfy armchairs instead. As other reviewers have mentioned the alleyway to the car parking space is very narrow, with a couple of doorsteps sticking out into it. It was easier to negotiate with the passenger getting out the car giving directions. Overall we really enjoyed our stay with 2 adults and a dog. We will definitely try and book it again if returning to Keswick.

Isabel cottage

What a lovely well appointed cottage in a central location. The cottage looks like it was recently refurbished with a new kitchen. Bathroom lovely and the shower is fantastic although the controls of the shower are a bit hard to use. Bedroom has the largest bed I have ever slept in almost didn’t know my wife was with me in there. Tv in living room is good and has Netflix etc . I had to reset the router to get the WiFi working and the smart tv in the bedroom would not link to the WiFi - lovely large screen in the bedroom though . WiFi issues could be to do with the broadband router being located behind the tv in the living room which may interfere with the signals . The settee in the living room isn’t the most comfortable especially for two people and could do with changing to make this cottage perfect. We had a small issue with ants in the kitchen on the first few days but this was addressed straight away for us. Altogether a great stay in a lovely cottage and very central location - greggs was just over the road for early morning breakfast butties before our daily hikes . I recommend this for a couple or to stay on your own .

A week to remember

My first, very enjoyable visit to Keswick. The cottage was spotlessly clean, comfortable and with everything I needed for my week’s stay. The great shower was really appreciated after a long day in the hills. I had a problem with the washing machine, (my fault), and someone came round from Keswick Cottages immediately to help. I took note of the parking description and yes, the narrow alley entrance was a challenge but manageable. The cottage is in a perfect location and once parked the car stayed there for a week. I walked out every day or used the excellent and very cheap bus service. I would definitely make a return visit. .

Amazing holiday cottage

Perfect location for what we wanted. The cottage was very comfortable with a decent spec. We wanted to ark up and just explore the Keswick surroundings. Two small gripes: the alleyway leading in the courtyard was horrendous, we got in ok but really struggled to get back out. I'd advise to park elsewhere. Also the cooker wasn't easy to work. However once we realised it was still in showroom mode, it wasn't too bad. The staff came out to help,very promptly but we sorted ourselves.

lovely cottage

lovely cottage, very well equipped, warm and super clean. No problems parking, we have a Polo, but the street down to the cottage is narrow. Only downside was a bit of noise from the local pub on Friday evening. Would love to stay here again.

Great bank holiday stay

This is a lovely/cosy cottage in a great central location. Getting to the car parking space is quite tight down a narrow lane but achievable We had an issue with the kettle leaking, but this was resolved immediately after a quick phone call to Keswick cottages.

Short break

The cottage was lovely and cosy, everything you would need for a holiday and very central to the town. The only downside is the parking at the property, you have to drive down a narrow alley and if you have a large car it is very tight, as I found out, damaging the side of my car to the tune of £1,500. Because of the parking we would not return.

Lovely cottage

Isabel cottage us ideally located and immaculate inside. Only slight criticism is the two seater settee is not very comfortable on an evening. Entrance to and from the cottage will challenge your driving skills as very narrow alleyway to the property. Advise you to ensure you turn and park facing the alley to make leaving much easier. Fantastic location for town and local pubs. Close to the lake for a great walk and breathtaking views of the hills. Everything you need is supplied. Great stay overall and will book again.

Isabel Cottage

A delightful little cottage that is well placed in Keswick..The only downfall is the very narrow alley you have to drive down to get to cottage, unless you have a small car I would recommend getting a parking permit. Aside from this we had a lovely stay at Isabel Cottage.

Nice but disappointing

Sorry to be negative but the shine of our short break was slightly dulled by a few disappointments. Primarily the parking was oversold - the access was extremely tight (even for a Corsa), and the space encroached on pedestrian access to other properties, making it unworkable. The add ons for basics, (towels etc), did feel a little bit like Ryanair but without the bargain pricing! The rules and requests to clean the fire, take out bins, and strip the bed made it feel like being at home, especially trying to get everything done for a 10am checkout. Shame, as nicely decorated, well equipped property in a very central location.

Our only problem was lack of communication regarding the car parking which was resolved. Don’t judge the cottage by the exterior - once inside it was excellent.

Lovely cottage in a superb location

Isabel Cottage is a beautifully appointed 1 bed cottage located on a small no-through road a couple of minutes walk from the centre of Keswick. The cottage has everything you need to enjoy a short break away and its proximity to shops and restaurants is ideal....right in the centre of things but tucked away in a small courtyard area so very quiet at night. The staff at Keswick cottages were very helpful, dealing with any enquiries I had straight away. I would highly recommend this property to anyone and hope to stay there again soon.

A lovely well equipped cottage

This is a lovely little cottage, right in the very centre of town. Ideal spot for people watching and not too noisy given its central location. The lane to the cottage is very narrow and I didn't risk it with my Qashqai, however alternative parking was given. The cottage is well equipped and spacious and very close to everything.

Short stay

The cottage was tidy and comfortable with the exception of the sofa. I would rate the stay 5 for location but cottage itsself 3/4 as we could only log onto the Samsung tablet until the second day which enabled us to check in and have a quick look at what's to do in the area then it didn't work again. Also both TVs downstairs and up did not work, screen just distorted maybe due to signal, satellite looked like wasn't properly connected. Staff were lovely very helpful and friendly, would still recommend.
