Left on 04/20/2013 for a stay in March 2013
Stayed at Prospect Lodge on an icy cold, snowy weekend in March. The cottage was warm, cosy and very comfortable. It is so well situated for Keswick and for the lake launches on Derwentwater that we didn't need to use the car once we got there. We found it to be well equipped and spotlessly clean. Appreciated the large porch - very useful for coats, boots and trekking poles etc. Plenty of storage space throughout the cottage. Wonderful views. An excellent find. Will definately return.

Left on 03/19/2013 for a stay in October 2012
Last minute booking for myself my 14 yr old son and cocker spaniel Crecy. Great location as I wanted to be in Portinscale close to Derwentwater for the sailing at Nichol End marine. Parking is on pavement outside property which means your car is off the road. Kitchen is ground floor and stone floor which is great for wet dogs / boots etc. means rest of cottage is cosy and clean as lounge is on first floor and bathroom and bedroom on the second floor. Basic but comfortably furnished and clean.
Farmers arms pub in Portinscale is a few hundred yards to walk great for evening drink and the foods good honest pub grub too.
Nice stroll from Portinscale into Keswick and plenty of dog walking opportunities on your door step with a five minute drive into Keswick itself.
Good value. -

Northampton, United KingdomIdyllic Retreat (Couple + dog)
Left on 01/06/2013 for a stay in December 2012
Situated just a few miles from Keswick, this cottage is perfect for exploring the surrounding area and just a short walk into the town for an evening beer in the Dog & Gun pub (highly recommend the Hungarian Goulash).
Fantastic views over the lake from both the lounge and bedroom windows.
The cottage is a very dog friendly and the large porch area is perfect for storing muddy boots and wet jackets. Easy to book and the staff at the Keswick rental office are pleasant and helpful. Very likely to book again and would highly recommend this holiday cottage..! -

Left on 11/16/2012 for a stay in November 2012
House has 3 floors, kitchen diner on ground with everything except washing machine. Plenty of cleaning stuff, kitchen roll etc. Up rather steep stairs to cosy lounge with lake view, and up again to twin bedroom and bathroom.
Great location opposite hotel. Five minuter walk to Nichol End for lake launches. -

Sevenoaks, KentA very comfortable property in an excellent location.
Left on 10/18/2012 for a stay in September 2012
A very clean & well equiped property. Far better equiped than many other properties I've stayed in, ie towels & bed linen were included. Portinscale is an excellent location. You can walk to Keswick (about a mile) via fields, avoiding busy roads. You can also walk around Lake Derwentwater from the house, without having to use the car. Overall great holiday, we'll definitely be back.

Cheadle HulmePleasant Relaxed Stay at Prospect Lodge
Left on 08/19/2012 for a stay in July 2012
Prospect Lodge provided us with a perfecly relaxed stay in The Lakes. Away from the bustle of busy neighbour Keswick it is ideally placed in quiet and pretty Portinscale with great views of nearby Derwentwater and the surrounding fells. The cottage is delightfully authentic on three floors, ideal for a couple. It is bright, clean, well equipped and comfortable and although not plush it retains a cosy cottage feel. We spent quite a lot of time in the large(ish) kitchen/dining room on the ground floor, with it's real stone flags, cooking, studying our maps and reading whilst people watching through the front windows. The cosy first floor lounge was for comfortable evenings and TV and the cute twin bedroom on the top floor although not large was ample big enough with a great view. The "snug" bathroom, also on the top floor provided piping hot water, a great bath with shower attachment and a window to the sky!
The central heating system, although only used on one cool evening was at our disposal to use as required which was a pleasant change from unchangeable pre scheduled time settings found elsewhere, and there was adequate storage throughout the cottage.
There is no "outside" at the rear of the cottage, and at first it was a bit of a surprise to look out of the windows straight at a very large wall only a few feet away, but it isnt an issue. The pretty front garden with it's bench gave us somewhere to sip our wine in the sun and people watch some more. We took a couple of small folding chairs and they proved really usefull.
The cottage is perfely placed for the lake and fells from the door, as well as the pub which was rustic, very friendly with great beer, wine and food. It is also only a 15/20 minute stroll to Keswick.
We would definately go back to Prospect Lodge. -

BecclesAn Ideal Place to Stay
Left on 07/18/2012 for a stay in June 2012
We found Prospect Lodge very quiet and comfortable. It is ideally situated for walking into Keswick, climbing Catbells and within easy reach of other places of interest. The local pub was dog friendly and reasonably priced and the tearooms also very useful when needed. Staff at both these places were friendly and helpful. Although the lodge was quiet you never felt cut off from civilization as there were always cyclists and walkers going past and a lovely view of Derwentwater from the 1st and 2nd floors.

Left on 05/24/2012 for a stay in April 2012
When we booked our holiday we were looking for somewhere to relax. Prospect Lodge turned out to be a very good choice.The accomodation is very comfortable and very well equipped. The cottage is convenient for many walks from the doorstep.
Would recommend the cottage to friends and family -

LargsComfortable cottage in great location
Left on 11/13/2011 for a stay in November 2011
Warm and comfortable cottage well located for walks and boats on Derwentwater. Seat in front garden was sunny enough for lunch in November. Microwave was more sofisticated than mine at home - couldn't figure it out. We would be happy to recommend to friends and return ourselves. I'd give five stars if there was a washing machine - this is Lakeland - walkers get muddy.

Hull, East YorkshireFound another great place to stay close to Derwentwater.
Left on 11/04/2011 for a stay in September 2011
Located in a very quiet village with only a fifteen minutes enjoyable walk to Keswick. Very pleasant cottage although no good if you struggle with stairs. Kitchen facilities good. The views from the top floor bedroom are memorable.
Would certainly go back for a short break. -
