"Both bedding and towels could do with replacing as well as the wonky toilet seat in the ensuite shower room , I did report it on Saturday 05/10/24 and was told it would be passed on to the maintenance team on the Monday and agreed to leave a key in the key safe and did so every day till we left but no sign of anything being done."

"Excellent cottage with great facilities in a perfect location."
Would be happy to stay again.

"Fantastic stay."
Great location and the cottage was clean, comfortable and cosy. I noticed some of the previous comments regarding the parking being too tight for 2 small cars. Well we had 2 large cars and with a bit of patience and care we managed to get both of our larger than average cars parked in the space with no issue! Overall a great experience and we would look to come back

"Absolutely lovely home with everything needed for our short stay."
We were very comfortable. Very minor constructive feedback would be to include information about which external bin belongs to the property as we did not find this obvious, and also the recycle bin. I think it would also be useful to inform clients that the key safe box is located at the rear door to the property. The property's central location in Keswick is brilliant.

"Lillibet cottage is a lovely 4 storey cottage ideally placed for the shops and everything Keswick has to offer and is tastefully decorated, reflecting the area and the surrounding hills."
The stairs leading upstairs are very steep. The attic room has beautiful views of Skiddaw and the surrounding hills. However on the first night we had heavy rain. Not sure if it was an unfamiliar bed or the rain hitting the skylight and roof which caused a restless night. No problems on the following nights. The kitchen on the ground floor which is accessed via more stairs contained all we needed and like the rooms above clean and tidy. Sadly there were two things which let the property down. We requested a highchair and cot to be provided. The highchair supplied was in a filthy condition and covered in mould, certainly not fit for an 11 month old baby. Whenever we leave a rental property we endeavour to leave it in the same condition as we arrived. We cleaned where we could, however the vacuum cleaner supplied was in an even worse state than the highchair. No attempt had been made to clean it or empty the full dust bin. The rotating brush head even had something wrapped around it, so no attempt made to use it. The details of the property specified parking for two medium sized cars. We had a Tiguan and a Kadjar, only one would fit in the space provided. The parking area is at the rear of the property, its sloped and cobbled and needed some of the foliage cutting back in places. We had to find an alternate parking space on the surrounding roads, most of which were limited time disk controlled parking.
Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are pleased that you enjoyed the location, and the views! We take all comments on board, and the comments will be passed on to the relevant teams. Thank you The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

"Located within 5 minutes walk from the town centre."
Two good restaurants (Italian and Indian) around the corner from the property. Shop just around the corner for bread, milk, etc. Property clean and well maintained. Great view of the mountains from the bedroom on the top floor Parking space available (on a slight incline)
Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay, and the views We hope to welcome you back to The Lakes again. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

"Lillibet cottage is a beautifully furnished and comfortable cottage just minutes away from the centre of Keswick and lakeshore."
But it’s a lovely quiet street and you’d never guess how close you are to shops, cafes and restaurants. As the listing says, there are a lot of steps at Lillibet cottage so it’s definitely not one for those who are unsteady on their feet. But our family would happily come back again - it’s been a lovely stay!

Lillibet Cottage is located on a small side street close to the market square.
From the front porch, the ground floor offers a welcoming lounge with well-appointed leather sofas and armchairs, a Smart TV, and an electric fire.

Traditional slate steps wind down to the kitchen on the lower ground floor which includes fitted units, a range cooker with gas hob and electric oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, family breakfast table, warming living flame gas stove, washing machine and tumble dryer.
On the first floor, there are two of the three bedrooms, the first is a welcoming king-size double with TV and en-suite shower room with basin and WC, the second is a pretty single bedroom and also on the first floor is the family bathroom with bath with shower over, basin and WC.

Location.
Keswick is one of the Lake District's most popular destinations.
This friendly town hosts the very popular twice-weekly market that has recently won the coveted "Best Outdoor Market" in the Great British Market Awards.
The village also offers a fantastic array of shops offering everything from craft bakeries and local produce, antiques, crafts and much, much more.
If you are looking for somewhere to eat and drink, a week just won't be long enough to sample the great range of pubs, restaurants, bistros, cafés and wine bars!
For a great evening out, why not visit the 100-year-old Alhambra, offering first-class cinema entertainment in traditional surroundings or enjoy an evening at the most beautiful and friendly theatre in Britain, the 400-seat Theatre By The Lake on the shores of Derwentwater?
Enjoy a cruise on Derwentwater, and walk onto the fells; Cat Bells, Skiddaw, Coledale Horeshoe and Blencathra are all nearby, head underground at Honister Slate Mines and enjoy mountain biking in Whinlatter Forest.
For day trips throughout the Lake District, Ullswater is a short drive away offering lake cruises, great walking and the beautiful Aira Force Waterfall, Buttermere and Crummock Water offer sublime scenery.
Ashness Bridge and Surprise View situated above the Borrowdale Valley should not be missed and perhaps even a cup of tea and homemade cake in the unspoiled village of Watendlath.
