Mid week stay at Acorn cottage

We had a very comfortable stay from Monday to Friday at Acorn cottage despite some rather wet weather. The cottage was nicely decorated and furnished and well equipped. It is well positioned to walk in to Keswick to take advantage of Keswick's attractions.

Close to town centre and spacious

Spacious property, within walking distance of town. Did report that bins were overflowing outside with black bags piled high both on the floor and on top of the bins on two occasions (appeared bins had not been cleared for weeks). Some areas of 5he property were a little dusty otherwise clean. The kitchen is rather small for a property of its size making it a bit difficult to have more than one person using it at a time, and bath a bit tight to get in/out of. Beds comfy.

Fantastic stay

2nd visit to this gorgeous cottage. Beautiful as ever. Everything you could need like home from home. Trimmed up ready for Christmas which we loved. Spotlessly clean. Having the fire made it very cosy. So close to centre with so many beautiful shops/pubs and attractions. Loved the Christmas/victorian market. Such a lovely community. Will book again soon. Thank you

Great cottage

Lovely cottage in central Keswick, east to get to the lake and the town centre. Spacious lounge and dining area with good sized bedrooms. The top floor only really suitable for children due to head height.

Perfect location, cosy and accommodating.

The cottage is a great size with everything you need for a perfect stay. The beds are super comfortable, kitchen has everything you would need and customer service is great. Location is perfect as it’s so close to Keswick centre and when we couldn’t go on walks because of the rain staying in was just as enjoyable.

A good week at Acorn Cottage

We had a very good week staying in Acorn Cottage the property was very clean and the beds comfortable. The cottage is well equipped we didn’t really want for anything. Our dogs even had their own welcome pack of treats and a chewy rope. Our only criticism is that the settees were quite low, so all in all we were very happy.

Nice cottage, great location

Pleasant stay, great location close to everything. Property is clean and comfy, stayed before and would definitely stay again. Only issue is with the gate at the side to the rear doesn't close properly and dogs can get out onto the road.

Great place

Acorn Cottage is a great place and has had a face lift since we last stayed which has made a real difference. My only small issue is the rear garden space could do with a makeover too

Very Comfortable Cottage in an Excellent location in Keswick

My family and I plus the dog stayed in Acorn Cottage for a week. The Cottage is in an excellend location within a 5 minute walk into Keswick Town centre. The cottage was clean and very spacious, large living room and dining room and large bedrooms. The welcome packages left were good and very thoughful as there was a separate one for the dog. I have recommeded this to family and friends and I would certainly return. Thank you

Great place to stay and ideal location

Thoroughly enjoyed our one week stay in Acorn Cottage which is in a great location - a short walk to the town centre, bus station and to Derwent Water. The downstairs was very comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. The beds were also very comfortable but the 2 bedrooms in the attic do have very limited headroom and so are best suited for older children maybe. I would definitelly go back and would recommend

Fantastic Property & Stay in Keswick

We visit Keswick regular and this was the first time we have booked through Keswick cottages and the experience was fantastic. We particularly liked the easy booking system and the digital guide with everything we needed to know for our entire stay at the lovely Acorn Cottage. The cottage itself was fantastic, doggy friendly and had everything we could have needed for our long weekend stay. It was clean, spacious, super light and airy which made it a nice place to chill between walks and beers. The cottage was well furnished and cosy. We’d definitely stay again. Thank you.
