The house was absolutely stunning, and the open kitchen, dining and living area made the perfect social space! It had everything we needed and felt so welcoming and homely.The house was spotless, with lovely spacious rooms and super comfortable beds. The hot tub and sauna were both pristine and such a nice way to relax after a day out exploring.The location was perfect too, only about a 10 minute drive into Bowness, making it a great base for getting around the Lake District and heading off on different walks.We cooked a few meals during our stay and were really happy with how well equipped the kitchen was.We were so impressed with our stay at Fawns Keep and would definitely recommend and be booking again!

Thank you so much for your lovely feedback. I’m thrilled to hear you enjoyed your stay at Fawns Keep and that everything was just as you’d hoped. It’s wonderful to know your visit was so enjoyable!
Property was in a good location for us and enjoyed the sauna and hot tub. Close (10 mins) drive to town. Kitchen had basics but lacked a few things such as second frying pan and tin opener. Rooms were good. Outdoor cushions had seen better days as a bit green on them. Overall, a good venue and stay.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Fawns Keep is a beautiful property, it is easy to find and check in was seamless. The hot tub and sauna were great and the house was presented in very good condition. A couple of downsides to the property, the balcony you use to access the sauna and hot tub is poorly keep and vey slippy. There was no WiFi code left and when we tried to contact the property manager it took them 3 days to reply…after we had checked out!!There was laundry in the kitchen drawers (bit strange) and left over food left in the cupboards. The property is lovely but needs some TLC especially for the price that it is listed.

Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. We are delighted to hear you enjoyed the property, found check-in straightforward, and made the most of the hot tub and sauna.
I am truly sorry for the issues you experienced during your stay. The balcony condition (which we have now had pressure washed), Wi-Fi details (this is included in the arrival email and guest guide), and delay in response are matters we take seriously, and these have been raised with our team. The points about leftover items and laundry are not up to our standards and will be addressed immediately!!
Your comments are much appreciated and will help us improve. We’re pleased you enjoyed the overall setting and facilities, and we hope this experience will not deter you from returning to the Lakes in the future.
Lovely building but woefully short of kitchen utensils. One small pan and a frying pan only. There were very few implements to aid cooking- spatula etc. As a result of the lack of equipment we had to go out to eat as cooking for 6 would have been very difficult. As a consequence of this you could not really class this accommodation as self-catering.I do not believe that this accommodation could be deemed as value for money. Far from it.
