"We were very pleased with the property and views at the back."
It was very clean and a lovely bungalow. We had a problem with parking our cars due to the extensive building work with the house at the end of the road, next door. Not a problem that could be resolved ⁰
Thank you for leaving your feedback following your stay at Manesty View. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay and that you found the property to be clean. We do take all comments on board, The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner

"The best accommodation and location we have stayed at in the Lake District so far ."
Everything you need for an enjoyable stay and views from the rear are stunning . Parking was a bonus , location was quiet and a short walk into town. Hope to return in the future

"This property is excellent and has the best view in Keswick."

"We really loved our stay at Manesty View and everything we needed was provided."
It was great to find somewhere with parking in Keswick and the views from the house and especially the patio are wonderful. The area is very peaceful and it was just a short walk into the town centre (around 10 minutes). We were able to do lots of hikes from the property and didn't use the car all week. We'd certainly stay again.
So pleased you have enjoyed your holiday and found the home convenient and able to enjoy hikes from it as well as the views from the back of the property. We would certainly welcome your return again and thank you for your review. Property Owner

"This holiday cottage is very good."
Excellent location to walk into town or to fruve/ walk to experience other fabulous views of the lakes. Great for walking. Cleanliness excellent. Caters for all you might need. Excellent central heating kept us warm and cosy during a very rainy week. Good parking facilities. Very quiet road (cul de sac) in fact everything points to awarding it 5 stars. It would get 5 stars if the beds were not so uncomfortable. I think new mattresses are needed at the very least. I vowed last year I would not go back ( solely because of the beds) However I caved in and went again. Mattress toppers have made it better. I was relieved. I will go back again.
Pleased you enjoyed your holiday in the cottage this year despite poor weather and would be pleased if you decide to return. Property Owner

"We were extremely happy with the holiday property and appreciated the cleanliness of every room."
The personal card and welcome pack were lovely. Proximity to central Keswick was an easy walk for us but all uphill on the way back for those less able. I missed a dishwasher, but washing up looking at the spectacular views over Keswick to the fells was no hardship! We brought all our recycling home with us as we couldn't find a recycling bin at the property, only a black bin. All in all, we would recommend this property to anyone for a holiday in the Lakes.
Thank you for your positive response to your holiday in the bungalow and agree the view at the back of the bungalow make washing up less of a chore! Thank you for taking your recycling home. Property Owner

"We really loved Manesty View."
It is a warm, cosy comfortable holiday let. It was so quiet. The view from the kitchen is gorgeous and every morning I would have my coffee looking out of the window. It is very homely due to the decoration and furnishings. We spent a few evenings in just watching telly because we felt just so comfortable in the property. Everything we needed was provided including tin foil , pizza cutter, hairdryer etc ....We felt as if we could live there permanently. I highly recommend staying in this holiday let xx
Thank you for your very positive response to your stay in Manesty view and that you found it very comfortable and could live there permanently! Property Owner

"We'd stayed in Manesty view before, but in a different property, so we new we were in a great location."
The cottage on first impression, was excellent, well equipped, decent kitchen ware & utensils, an issue in some properties, but not here. The cottage is well maintained & clean, although, I should mention, the faucet on the kitchen sink kept coming loose, I tightened it several times, but only finger tight as there was no tool to tighten it properly, other than this, there were no issues. The view across to the northwestern fells & toward Skiddaw/Latrigg, is fantastic, especially from the lovely patio, (amazing garden). With easy access to Keswick town centre & it's excellent resraurants & shops, we couldn't be in a better location. We've stayed in many holiday cottages over many years, 99.5% of their owners provide a welcome pack, ie, pint of milk in the fridge, small loaf of bread, bottle of wine, etc, it's a nice touch to holiday renters initial welcome, this, of course is just a suggestion.

"Beautiful and comfortable accommodation."
The view of Keswick from the back garden was excellent. My only complaint would be the steep walk up to the property. However what can you expect at Keswick,, The walk was well worth it Les Beattie

"A fantastic view and such a comfortable bungalow, every possible need of a guest had been thought of and catered for."
Very clean and the perfect location for walking into town or to Derwent Water. Loved every minute, many thanks to all involved.

"Lovely, well maintained bungalow."
Everything we needed for a restful break. Central heating was excellent. Great views ( when not Misty). Plenty of seating in the garden to catch the sun wherever it happened to shine. No through traffic on the road was a bonus. It was very quiet all week. Will come again.
So pleased you enjoyed your break and found the bungalow excellent and had some weather to enjoy the seating area in garden. Thank you for your feedback and hope you can come again. Property Owner

"Loved the bungalow, was very clean and tidy, excellent facilities and the views from the bungalow were amazing."
Will recommend to friends and family when they head up to the lakes. Thank you

"Lovely location and superb view from the back garden."
The property was well equipped (included patio furniture too) and had a homely feel. We were glad there was a freezer (listing says fridge). The table in the kitchen was fine for two, but would be a squeeze with more people. We would have liked a DVD player, but otherwise there was everything we needed.
So pleased you enjoyed your stay at the bungalow and thanks for pointing out there is a fridge and freezer and found the view superb from the back. Property Owner

"Excellent cottage."
Brilliant location and view. Clean and good facilities. My only minor suggested improvement is I could not find anywhere in the garden to stand the provided rotary washing line. A second key would also be good. But they are just minor quibbles. Excellent stat
Thank you for your comment and pleased you found the cottage to your liking and hope you will consider returning to enjoy another holiday here. We will make the place on patio for rotary line easier to locate. Property Owner

"We enjoyed the property very much."
As the weather was good we enjoyed the walk in to town and the views were excellent.
-
"Our second visit to this lovely bungalow was a complete success."
The furnishings comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped. Very central to Keswick albeit you have to walk uphill on the way back! beautiful views from the back windows. Altogether a lovely let.
So happy you have enjoyed another holiday in this bungalow and certainly would welcome you to stay again. Property Owner

"Stayed in many cottages in Keswick and elsewhere and Manesty View is certainly one of the best."
We only sat in rear garden on our arrival but it set the holiday off to a grand start.
So happy to hear your views on your stay here and pleased you enjoyed the garden as well as the views from the back. Property Owner

"Wonderful views."
Very comfortable and clean. Dining very compact for four but manageable.
-
"The bungalow was clean and comfortable with fantastic views across the local fells."
Within easy reach of the town which is delightful. There were just the two of us so we had plenty of room although it would be perfectly adequate for the advertised 4. We would have no hesitation in recommending the property.
Thank you for your comments on your stay in this bungalow and for having no hesitation in recommending it to others. We would of course welcome your return here. Property Owner

"Lovely place with amazing views."
Would have been cramped with 4 adults but fine for just the 2 of us.
-
"We were very happy with our stay in Manesty Veiw."
Very clean and comfortable, with everything that we needed. The views were spectacular from the back of the property, and the ten minutes walk in to the town centre was ideal. Would like to stay again one day.
-
"Comfortable and well equipped."
Close to the town centre but also a good base for walking
-
"Very comfortable bungalow, good location with great views from rear garden"
-
"The views, the garden was superb and excellent facilities for sitting out and enjoying a cup of tea."
-
"This was our second stay at this bungalow."
The location is very good, in a quiet location overlooking Keswick and the hills. The facilities in the bungalow are excellent and well maintained. The patio is an excellent place to view the scenery and enjoy a relaxed drink after a day hiking and exploring. We look forward to our next revisit, assuming the current virus situation enables!.
-
"Quite the best holiday let we have ever used."
Far exceeded our expectations. Really spotless and welcoming and well equipped and such lovely views from the windows. really nice garden. Only one thing - the steps leading to the front door are very steep and perhaps not ideal for the less active among us especially elderly. Otherwise perfect.
-
"A really comfortable and well equipped bungalow perfectly placed."
It overlooks Keswick with stunning views of the mountains from the terraced garden. It’s an easy walk into the town though would say this let is not suitable for those with mobility problems because of the steps down to the bungalow. Lucky enough to to have brilliant weather. Would happily book this bungalow again.
-
"The property is on a hill and if you want to walk into town it may not suit everyone dependent on age and fitness."
Key collection and return is at an office in town in a busy street where parking is restricted. The walk into town is about ten to fifteen minutes. The bungalow is warm and comfortable with parking at garages slightly down from the house on the opposite side of the street.
-
"This property is in an excellent location, with good views and easy access to the town and public transport."
The bungalow had all the items you need and is in excellent condition throughout. We will plan to use this accommodation again.
-
"Lovely bungalow, brilliant location in an elevated area of Keswick with good views over the town, which was a short walk away."
-
"Manesty View was a lovely bungalow in a very pleasant and quiet location within easy walking distance of the town of Keswick."
The bungalow offered everything we required to make our holiday a relaxing and enjoyable experience, we will be back.
-
"The bungalow was well located with walks and shops, restaurants all within easy walking distance."
However we were concerned that unlike the other properties in the road,there were no facilities to put recyclable rubbish and were told to put it in the general rubbish bin for collection. All other places we have rented for holidays give details of separate bins for paper, glass ,plastic etc. Not sure how the owners are exempt in this day and age?
-
"As usual, Keswick was wonderful, as was the surrounding area."
Even in the rain, it us a joy to holiday there. The bungalow was in an area we know well, and contained every facility needed to make our stay enjoyable.

"Lounge faces away from the view."
