• "Lovely place in a great location."

  Very comfortable with everything you need. Would definitely book again. Only very minor grumble was a couple of the downstairs radiators didn’t seem to fully heat up so it did take a while to warm the siting room. Other than that we had a perfect stay.

• "We enjoyed a lovely relaxing stay at Dovestones."

  The cottage was really well equipped and very homely. Parking was never an issue and it is just a short walk into town & to the lake. The cottage is lovely and dog friendly with an enclosed garden, with a dog wash and throws for the sofa. The beds were very comfortable and there were hairdryers in all the bedrooms. We will hopefully book again.

• "The property is generally lovely and just what was needed."

  The bathroom vanity unit under the sink is tired there’s obviously been a water leak. The selection of kitchen pots and pans was okay but there was a frying pain that needs to be replaced as the non stick layer was scratched and peeling, needless to say we didn’t use it.Parking was a pain, you’re lucky if you can park on an adjoining street you’ve got no chance of parking by the property which makes unpacking and packing difficult. This is probably the fifth or sixth cottage we’ve stayed in, and as I said overall it’s lovely, the dining room table is just what you want to sit around, eat, drink and play card games. We look for large open plan areas where we can all sit down together.

  Thank you for making us aware that a new frying pan is required. this will be replaced later this week. In terms of parking, it can sometimes be tricky getting a space by the door however, it is possible to park on a temporary basis on the alley way behind the house for the purposes of loading and unloading. There is a set if keys in the key box by the back door to help with this. Property Owner

• "A perfect holiday house, really clean and comfortable."

  It’s just a short walk from Fitz park and the town centre so in a really good location. The area the house is in is very quiet which is lovely too! The only thing that would have been better for us is if there had been a high chair at the property to save us bringing one but still a brilliant stay, thank you!

  Thanks for taking time to leave your feedback. Glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay Property Owner

• "Dovestones is a really lovely property and a real home from home."

  It’s beautifully decorated, well equipped and spotlessly clean. The linen and towels were of high quality and beds extremely comfortable. The owners have paid a lot of attention to detail to provide an excellent holiday home. We were a couple with a very active dog and I was concerned about the small courtyard. However Fritz Park is less than a 10 minute walk and it’s wonderful for dogs! Our border collie had a wonderful week! The proximity of the property to the centre of Keswick (a ten minute walk) is a huge plus point. Also Derwent Water is so close and we would definitely suggest the 10 mile circular walk around the lake. We absolutely loved our stay at Dovestones, we would highly recommend the property and would definitely like to come back in the future.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are delighted that you, and your border collie had a great week. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future Property Owner

• "We stayed in this property last year and noted that the shower screen let's water out where it joins the wall."

  This year it is still doing it, so hadn't been addressed. Also there was an unusual pleasant smell in the downstairs area, the source of which we couldn't identify. Otherwise the property was beautifully presented and very comfortable.

• "Extremely well equipped and furnished cottage."

  Liked the location. Very warm and cosy for a week in winter.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback. You certainly picked a very cold week to be up in the Lake District so delighted to hear that you were warm and cosy. I hope you managed to get some great walks in. Property Owner

• "The only negative we had was that you could smell dog on the sofa, but I suppose there isn’t much you can do about that if owners don’t put a blanket to protect it."

  Everything else was great. Thank you.

  Thank you for your feedback. The owner will be able to see this and so can review your suggestions. We are glad that you enjoyed your stay. Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

• "Well thought out accommodation with nice touches."

  Having use of a garage was really helpful for us as we cycle. The garage door lock is somewhat tricky and I did think at one time we would have to leave our bikes with you!!! (Just kidding) Patio slabs like those next door would of course be lovely but we would like them at home too! Very central for all the lovely features of Keswick! We loved our stay!! Thank you.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. We are really pleased to hear that you had a lovely stay at Dovestones. We do have a table and set of chairs for guests to use. These are kept in the garage when not in use, there is a garage key on one of the sets of keys for guests. Hopefully next time you visit the weather will be as good and you will be able to enjoy some evenings outside. Property Owner

• "A beautiful property and so tastefully, comprehelsively and thoughtfully decorated and equipped."

  However, I noticed a few issues, like the curtain rail in the single bedroom that only had 3 points of contact and fell down during our stay, and a couple of wall switches that were loosely screwed into the wall. I must say that the curtain rail was fixed as soon as I reported it, so good on the company for their response.

  Unless you want to explore the lakes further afield, you don't even need to use your car! The cottage was spotless, well decorated with great facilities. Will definitely be back :o)

• "Absolutely stunning property."

  We couldn’t work out how to turn the heating up (it was a snowy weekend) and the owner responded immediately by turning it up remotely! Great property 5 minutes walk from the centre of Keswick. Very comfortable - will be booking again! Thank you.

• "Absolutely lovely cottage within walking distance of Keswick."

  Clean, comfortable and spacious, with a well equipped kitchen. Some of the most comfortable beds we’ve ever slept in. Shower may be a little low for those of the taller variety. Wouldn’t recommend if you wanted outdoor space as the yard is not really the best to sit out in, however there is plenty of green space just outside the front door. Would definitely return.

• "Fabulous cottage!"

  ! It was immaculate and welcoming when we arrived, very spacious so as a family of 4 we had plenty of room. Some feedback would be to try and put some plastic cups and plates/bowls in the cottage for young children to use. Also it would have been nice if there were a few more books on the shelf and a few more board games in the cupboard.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review, we're really pleased to hear that you had a great stay :-) Thanks for the feedback as well, we will be adding more board games shortly and also some plastic beakers / plates & bowls as you suggest. Property Owner

• "Ideally, it would have a second toilet or en-suite."

  Otherwise, the property was beautifully decorated, there was lots of cupboard space and it was really comfortable. The house is a short walk from town which meant that it was really quiet.

• "Dovestones is a beautiful, spacious, well equipped mid terraced holiday home with luxurious touches throughout."

  The house is immaculate. Great care and thoughtfulness has clearly gone into its presentation and facilities. The beds are luxuriously comfy and the supplied towels are spa like! The kitchen is the best equipped we have stayed in and the lounge is cosy and comfortable to relax in at the end of the day. The neighbourhood is quiet and location convenient for Keswick’s centre, lake side and the local Fitz Park. We had an altogether wonderful week and hope to be back at Dovestones soon!
