Cathy J
Sheffield, United KingdomGreat cottage for a week away from work
Left on 03/26/2013 for a stay in March 2013
We were looking for somewhere pretty central, as we don't have a car. Banks Place was ideal; close to the lake and with plenty of pubs and coffee shops on the doorstep. The cottage was spotlessly clean with a lovely wood-burning stove and underfloor heating. Very neat cooking island with all necessary utensils and a really spectacular bathroom!
Would thoroughly recommend the cottage to anyone wanting peace, quiet and a comfortable base to explore the area. -

CardiffPerfect for a romantic weekend away!
Left on 02/06/2013 for a stay in January 2013
The cottage was beautiful really warm and cosy with the woodburner on. Never normally have baths but loved the jet bath. All in all had a great weekend away, Keswick has some great pubs and eateries.
The company were very helpful as well as we turned up 5 hours before the check in time to miss the snow and they were more than happy to help us out and got us in early!
Only (slight) downside to the cottage is access in a car! The alley is extremely narrow I got my car down there but had both wing mirrors touching the sides!! Not for the faint hearted!! -

Left on 01/17/2013 for a stay in December 2012
We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful cottage in the heart of Keswick over Christmas. We were greeted by tasteful Christmas lights, a wreath at the door and bucks fizz and mince pies to enjoy, which was a lovely touch. The cottage was immaculately clean and beautifully cosy. The cottage is only a few minutes walk from the lake so we enjoyed scenic walks, as well as numerous trips to pubs and restaurants that were on the doorstep. We would thoroughly recommend this cottage for a romantic getaway - just lovely!

WokinghamGreat location in a beautiful town
Left on 10/18/2012 for a stay in September 2012
My husband and I had a fantastic 4 night stay at Banks Place in September. The cottage is welcoming, clean and cosy with a lovely wood burning stove and luxury bathroom. The jacuzzi bath was a relaxing treat. The kitchen could do with a few more utensils but on the whole is good. The cottages location was perfect for us being rather partial to a pub with a bit of history, lovely coffee shops and of course walks on the doorstep. The very narrow driveway was interesting to negotiate however. We would definitely visit Keswick again and stay at banks place.

MelbourneReally comfortable little bolt hole so close to Keswick
Left on 09/14/2012 for a stay in September 2012
We spent four nights at 3 Banks Place and found it to be in an ideal position for walking to all the attractions and shops of Keswick. It was very well furnished, had all the necessary's for cooking and eating and was very comfortable. It was ideal for two and the soft spa bath was a special treat. The little laneway that lead to parking in front of the house could be a challenge for some drivers but we found it just manageable even with an estate car. It was great to find somewhere self-contained for a mid week break too. It suited us perfectly! Highly recommended.

GretnaPerfect location , Ideal couples getaway
Left on 08/06/2012 for a stay in August 2012
stayed recently at this small but well appointed house in the centre of keswick. Loved the location in the centre of the town close to all pubs and restaurants. House itself was presented in a very clean and tidy state , loved the bathroom and jacuzzi bath. Log burner looked nice although no need to experience it as we came during a warm if not dry spell. Only issue, tight drive down to park in front of the house (we were informed of this before arrival) , but there is plenty of other parking nearby. Would I come back ? Yes if it stays at that standard.

Dumfries, United KingdomNice property in a great location
Left on 07/22/2012 for a stay in July 2012
We recently stayed in this property. We chose it because of its proximity to the town centre. We were not disappointed - its right in the middle of Keswick but still manages to be lovely and peaceful! The property had everything we needed and was very well-presented - obviously very new to the rental market. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this cottage, or Keswick, as an ideal place for a break. One point to note: parking can be a bit tricky but you can always find a space on a nearby street..

MiddlesboroughNot as advertised, poor customer service and very unclean.
Left on 06/28/2012 for a stay in June 2012
I booked this cottage as a romantic getaway for me and my wife. It looked very well presented on the Lakes Cottage Holidays website and looked like an ideal cottage for us. As I run my own business it is essential that a wifi connection is available so I am able to catch up on urgent emails and deal with emergencies should they occur. One of the main reasons I chose this cottage was the fact it was advertised as having a wifi connection. I even contacted the Lakes Cottage Holidays helpline to confirm it definitely had wifi and they assured me it did. It is even advertised on Trip advisor has having wifi.
However, upon our arrival, I was unable to find a wifi connection for the cottage. I then called in at the Lakes Cottage Holidays branch where we had collected the keys to explain that I couldn't find a wifi connection. Then then told me on the spot that it doesn't actually have one!! I then explained that I had searched on their website specifically for a cottage that has a wifi connection and that this cottage was advertised as having one. They then did the same search on there own computer but couldn't find it listed as having wifi. They offered no apology and seemed completely uninterested in the whole matter.
On top of all this when we arrived at the cottage we found the cleanliness to be well below par. The slate floors downstairs had not been swept or mopped at all and the bathroom was an absolute disgrace! The bath looked like it had simply been rinsed out with the shower head. We had to spend around an hour cleaning it, bringing it back to the level of cleanliness you would expect on arrival. We were also surprised to find there was no iron or ironing board, very few sharp knives and not enough towels.
On the plus side however, it is very conveniently situated in the centre of Keswick making it a quick two minute stroll onto the high street.
All in all we were very disappointed with this cottage, extremely unhappy with the level of customer service we received from the Lakes Cottage Holidays staff and will not be staying here again.Response from Cottage Holiday Group - 07/17/2012
