• "We have been coming to stay at Siskin for a few years now, and whilst we are delighted with it and plan to come again next year, there are a few minor details that we think need attention."

  The toilet cistern makes a very loud shuddering noise while it refills. It must be audible in other flats in the building. The glassware is insufficient. The lock on the car parking space seems to have seized up, so it can’t be actuated. It seems to me that a squirt of WD40 will probably cure it. There we are - we will be back.

• "Entrance could do with a clean up especially as someone had vomited by the steps."

  A motion sensitive light would be helpful at the entrance. The apartment itself was spotless and very well located.

• "We had a great stay at Siskin."

  The property was very central but it wasn’t noisy at all. There was n allocated parking space which is a real bonus in Keswick. The flat was very clean & well equipped. The shower was hot & powerful and the kitchen had everything required. Our only issues was that we all found the beds uncomfortable. The mattresses were of good quality they just didn’t meet our preferences. I’m sure other people would find them perfect. Despite this minor issue we would definitely return to this fantastic property.

• "This was a lovely flat in the heart of a busy Keswick."

  The road noise and buzz from the shops below didn’t bother us as we enjoyed seeing the world pass by but may not suit everyone. The flat was clean and good amenities. There is an issue with the toilet flush and sounds like an air lock in the system as at the end of the flush when the toilet has refilled it makes a terrible chugging noise. The flat has a handy car park space which is a massive bonus. The space is a little tight in between 2 thin metal poles but we managed no problem with a VW Golf. We had a fabulous week!

• "The flat is lovely, comfortable and equipped."

  Would of liked a fan in bedrooms as it was very warm and having the window open ment being disturbed by the noise on the street which ended around 12pm with the clash of bottles being emptied, and started again around 5.30am so not a good night's sleep was had. The location is great. And is very clean, beds are comfortable, and so are the sofa's.

  Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We are pleased to hear that you found the property to be clean and comfy. We do take your comments on board, however, the property listing does state Siskin is in the heart of Keswick with shops, pubs and restaurants 1 min walk. We hope that you would return to the Lake District again. Property Owner

• "Lovely stay at Siskin."

  The apartment was extremely clean which was great. So close to the centre yet quiet. It generally had everything you need for a stay although we would have appreciated a full size chopping board to prepare meals on, and a pizza cutter would have been handy as we ate in every night. All in all recommended!

• "A very nice property, well maintained and well presented."

  We enjoyed its central location, comfortable beds, designer kitchenware, and a quiet washing machine. There was some noise from the George hotel kitchen extractor pipes located just outside the property windows. There was also some minor disturbance caused by ongoing maintenance/building work next door, but obviously this is not the owner's fault.

  Thank you for taking the time to give feedback following your stay we are delighted that you had an enjoyable stay, just to confirm the work installing a stove at the nearny property is now complete, we look forward to welcoming you again in the future - Lakes Cottage Holidays customer relations Property Owner

• "A very nice and comfortable flat in the middle of town with the added bonus of a private parking space."

  The only problem we encountered was the hot water. The boiler seems to be set to provide hot water in the morning only. Post-hike showers and baths in the evening were rather cold. This might not be a problem in summer. Otherwise a very pleasant stay.

  The radiator in the main bedroom didn't seem to turn off which made it too hot early in a morning. But we've just booked to return again in March which will be our 3rd visit, so the positives outweigh the negatives!

• "The flat was really clean, spacious and in a good location with excellent security and a free car parking space."

  However it was really noisy and there was a huge 'hole' in the wooden frame above the window in the master bedroom which made it more noise and 'drafty' - especially in January. There was also a huge vent pipe outside the double bedroom from the restaurant that was noisy too! A little disappointed especially the cost of the property - maybe should inform customers of the noise levels.

  Location super, furniture and fittings of very good quality, very good lighting throughout, ( unusually in most lets and we stay in 4/5 a year)for anyone on a walking hol in this area ideal. Would recommend this let. Secure parking, ( tho next to commercial bins) this was not a problem.and entrance to property secure, ( 3 locked doors! ) Although on the second floor there are only two small flights of stairs, all in all an excellent property!

• "The apartment is ideally situated, well equipped, clean & tidy."

  On departure we reported concerns with the plumbing as the toilet was very noisy, the bath taps tight and the shower rail a bit wobbly! We only got one set of keys (although when I asked on checking out, there was another set) which was a safety issue due to locks/access to the building. Not the prettiest entrance to a property (I wouldn't like to have been on my own on dark nights) and as long as you don't want a lie in (refuse trucks empty bins daily) it was a great apartment right in the centre of Keswick.

• "The accommodation was in a fantastic place for restaurants, shops and the surrounding attractions."

  There is a cafe/pub opposite that was open til late and most nights people were very noisy and disturbed our sleep or relax time. The windows even closed did not keep the noise out. Maybe the windows need to be changed to eliminate any outside noises. The beds mattress and pillows were not what we are used to, my opinion is to have a firm mattress and pillows or a choice of soft or firm pillows.
