"Great well kept cabin in an ideal location."
Best of both worlds, in the middle of nature, yet 15 walk into town. Spectacular views of the fells and local wildlife. Advertised as enclosed garden, however only partially.
We have booked again for next year !
Thanks for a great stay.

"Fabulous logde, warm,cosy and beautiful views."
Tea, coffee and plum bread a lovely treat. Lovely to sit out on the balcony to watch the birds and pheasants round the feeders. Lovely garden although not enclosed as advertised, but safe if you go out and supervise your dogs.my two dogs loved it. My only downside was although the shower was big with plenty of hot water it could do with being a power shower so after a fabulous day of hiking you can have a rewarding shower. But I have to say that’s the only thing I would improve. Marie, keep doing what you are doing is fantastic. We will be back!!!! Thank you

Being so close to the bypass does mean there is road noise but it also means that you can walk into Keswick

"Our stay was pretty perfect on the whole."
The property was immaculately clean and the facilities were great. The welcome mince pies and milk in the fridge were a lovely touch. Marie was quick to message about some rugs that hasn't been placed properly in one of the rooms. It was no big deal, but nice to know the owner was making sure everything was perfect. The bed was comfy the sofa was comfy, it had a very cozy feel, very comfortable.
The only negative of the stay however, was that every weekday afternoon, someone was cutting up timber with a chainsaw for hours at a time right outside the accommodation. Meaning relaxing after a long morning walk was impossible. There was also some obvious staining on one of the bath towels, which is pretty minor as there were others to use. Also a dirty tray and foil was left in the oven from the previous visitor, again, minor but something worth mentioning. These are the only reasons I didn't give 5 stars. I'd also like to suggest the information folder has a bit of tlc.
Hello David
Thank you for your feedback and I am so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Derwent Lodge. Regarding the chopping of wood that you could hear , this is an annual occurrence from the owner of the land next to burnside Park.
The towels come ready folded and I have asked that these are checked on each change over in the future and it is good that there are always other available.
I have reiterated to the cleaning team that all trays in the oven should be checked in the future although the oven may look very clean.
We look forward to welcoming you back to Derwent lodge at some point in the future.
Kindest regards
Marie

"Property was very comfortable."
Heating worked well, as did the shower. Lodge is in a very convenient place for Keswick. Very quiet, with nice quiet neighbours (sheep and cows). The tea/coffee tray was a very welcome. The plum bread was very nice. Just a nice touch, as were the toiletries in the bath room.

"We really enjoyed our stay in derwent cottage."
It was so clean, comfortable, and luxurious. The beds/pillows and bedding were so comfortable especially the pillows. Everything you could possibly need was in the cottage for a perfect self catering holiday. It was very peaceful even though we were right by the busy road as you couldn’t really hear any traffic from inside . The location was very tranquil a bit of a walk into town. the nearest pub the pheasant inn is a two minute walk and the food is absolutely amazing! Would highly recommend! Some lovely walks from the cottage. We had a lovely comfortable stay. Only negative was when it rained at night it seemed to keep us awake a bit with it bouncing of the roof/ and decking.

Lovely lodge, extremely well equipped and clean, nice quiet site and loved the views, only problem was not with the lodge but the price, we paid £1800 for 7 nights but when checked prices for next year it is around £990 for 7 nights and £1900 for 14 nights we don’t understand the price difference, was there a mistake or some other reason, I have sent messages but as yet no explanation

"A wonderful place to stay ."
Derwent lodge was immaculate and comfortable, with absolutely everything needed for a perfect holiday. It’s situated in a great place for walking into Keswick (through beautiful Fitz Park) where there are cafes , restaurants, shops and of course , the Lake . The lodge has secure decking ( great for dogs ) with patio furniture and a lovely private garden. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a quiet , peaceful holiday with plenty going on within a short drive ( or walk ) .

"Absolutely loved my stay here at Derwent lodge."
Lots of storage, comfortable beds, clean and a well equipped kitchen. The lodge is so close to wonderful walks and a fantastic pub, which I’d highly recommend but book as it gets busy - The pheasant inn. A walk quick walk through Fitz park takes you to the centre of Keswick. My only criticism is I booked the week were road works at night were happening, on the roundabout but other than that, the noise from the traffic wasn’t an issue. I left music on at night to drown out the noise and this seemed to work. A lovely lady who stays at the lodges two times a year assured me this was unfortunate and never normally happens. Roadworks can’t be helped and it didn’t ruin our trip, as previously mentioned the lodge is great.

"We really enjoyed our stay at Derwent Lodge, it was spotlessly clean."
The sofas and beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was well equipped. It was a lovely touch to find a pint of milk, plum loaf and pot of jam awaiting us on arrival. Heating was good and the shower poweful snd hot. For the rainy evenings it was useful to have a smart tv and wifi with streaming availability. Although the Lodge is very near a main road the slight noise of traffic did not detract from the lovely views and it was great to be in such short walking distance from Keswick. We would definitely stay here again. My only constructive criticism would be that there is no recycling bins on the site, which was a shame.

"We are a family of four - 2 adults 2 kids."
This is an immaculately clean and extremely well equipped lodge. The beds and linen were so clean and comfortable.
We use caravan / lodges a lot around the country and always take some of our own kitchen stuff (because we normally find things aren’t good enough to cook with and lack of condiments etc ). We needn’t have bothered as it was all provided and of a high standard.
To sum up , immaculately clean, very comfortable, very well equipped and superbly located within short walk to Keswick (also excellent decking area which we didn’t use due to weather /time of year). Highly recommended.

"Excellent accommodation with all facilities as home from home."
The shampoo soap and body washes a nice touch. Brilliant location. Very relaxing or great for exploring. The Pheasant Inn was a 5 min walk but would advise booking. The Packhorse Inn in Keswick did excellent food too. The fish and chips were to die for. Booths in Keswick was a must for all essentials but remember your £1 coin for the car park (refundable)
All in all we had a fantastic week here. Would highly recommend

Thank you for your feedback. I am glad that you found the lodge to be comfy and that you enjoyed the location. I will bring the cleaning of the outside table and chair cushions to the cleaners' attention and am sure that she will rectify this during the next change over.
