Keepers Cottage Reviews

A great place to stay, we really enjoyed the quality of the home, very quiet and peacefull,, had dinner outside with a great view. The hot tub was excellent. The welcome basket, was the best we every had in the UK and most appreciative to get things started. Our host Lindsay, was very special And explained everything to us on arrival. We hope to go back some day. We are on holiday from Canada with our son and his wife to celebrate my 80th birthday and his 50th

Lovely cottage. Very well equipped and comfortable. Beautiful location.

Pauline

Lovely cottage in an amazing location. The cottage has everything you need to enjoy a fabulous time from lots of space and a well equipped kitchen to great bedrooms bathrooms and a beautiful hot tub with breathtaking views what more could you wish for!

What a wonderful property with the most amazing views. All facilities as described. Keepers Cottage is located within easy driving of all the attractions. We had a really enjoyable, relaxing holiday. Plenty of room for everyone. Quiet & secluded. Other properties on site but does not interfere with Keepers Cottage in any way at all. This really is a dream place to stay.

Beautiful house with amazing views. The contacts for the property were very helpful and friendly. Would just suggest you get more cups, 8 beakers werent very much for 6 people staying. Thanks for a fantastic week

What a fabulous place , perfect for our family get away. Everything about it was excellent and well get back .

Great location, property had everything you could need. Warm welcome.

Samantha

Wow! What a cottage! Cosy and warm, yet spacious enough that an adult family of 5 don't feel like they are on top of each other. The beds are comfortable and the bedding quality. Everything that you need for a break is provided, all kitchen basics, maps, suggested walks, games and logs for the fire. The views are amazing! And the hot tub, is well, fab. The only down side that we could find was that we had to leave after our week was up.

Rebecca

We loved our stay at Keepers Cottage. The cottage was beautiful, clean and comfortable and very well equipped with all the basics. We also found the location ideal to explore the local area. The kids loved the space too.

Andrew

This is a lovely cottage. Stunning scenery looking over the valley straight out of the back doors, perfectly enjoyed from the hot tub. The beds were extremely comfortable and its a great base to explore the surrounding area. Lots of wonderful walks, great pubs and restaurants nearby.

We had a truly memorable week at Keepers Cottage. It is a beautiful and comfortable property with first class facilities in a stunning location. The generous welcome hamper was a real treat and communication with Lyndsey on Reception was easy and effective. Thank you for a wonderful holiday. We will be back!

Simply perfect just the best view ever, lovely high standard of equipment and care provided will be back for sure

Great property and location. A perfect venue, quiet, well positioned, close to Kendall and Windermere. Highly recommended.

Absolutely stunning , the property was amazing, every detail was perfect right down to the pleasant Christmas smell as you walked in . Heated floors were amazing on cold mornings. Lovely spacious bedrooms . An unmatched view to wake up to on a morning . The fact that every bedroom had an ensuite which was amazing. Every need was catered for , right down to having the fire wood topped up when we called . Cannot praise this place enough , and the owners . Will definitely be back ! A big Thankyou to Lyndsay and Andrew and the team from Chris ,Ben,Kim and Alfie

The place was extremely clean and there was a great living space. The checkout time states 10am on the website however the owners made it clear that it was half 9 so this was a little awkward. We would say the service and interactions with the owners had alot left to be desired however we didn't let this affect us having a great time. There was an awful drain smell which came and went throughout the week in the bathrooms, sometimes you couldn't smell anything and other times it was dreadful. Wouldn't revisit again but enjoyed it for the week.

Beverley

The cottage is in a stunning location with extensive views. The interior is beautifully designed and the hot tub very welcome! We hadn't noticed any mention in the publicity, of stairs between the entrance, the kitchen and the lounge as well as the main staircase. A challenge for thosed with mobility challenges. The heating was eractic. Overall a really enjoyable experience!

Natalie

All the little touches were perfect and the accommodation was fantastic. Lovely friendly welcome and good communication from Sykes and the owners. Highly recommend.

Heather

Keepers Cottage did not disappoint. It is in a quiet location with great views, within easy reach of other parts of the Lakes. The cottage itself is very comfortable and well equipped it is the best cottage we have stayed in. The welcome basket of goodies was much appreciated. We will definitely go back and would highly recommend.

Fantastic cottage and what a view from the hot tub. Such a lovely location fir a long awaited family celebration holiday. Lynsey was really helpful

Beautiful property finished to a very high standard. Lovely views over the valley and estuary. Reception on site during office hours and any txt enquiries looked into promptly by Lynsey and the team. No evidence that any checks on the hot tub during our 7 day stay but I'm sure if any issues had been reported the team would have looked into it.

Beautiful cottage with stunning views, perfect for exploring the southern Lake District.

We had an amazing time in Keepers Cottage. A beautifully designed place with a view that cant be beaten! We even cancelled a dinner on our final night because we wanted more time to enjoy being there! Would love to return and we were well looked after by Lynsey.

Keepers cottage is a beautiful property in stunning surroundings. It is well equipped,clean and comfortable. It's a great location for exploring the southern lakes. Fantastic views,luxury hot tub, great host and communication.

Elizabeth

The cottage was lovely, clean, comfortable and views were stunning, even when raining! !

Jo-anne

Keepers Cottage is a 10 out of 10 holiday property, immaculately maintained by the owners. Great care had been taken to provide every comfort we might need during our stay. The welcome pack and chilled Prosecco in the fridge were a welcome find! The views from the patio and hot tub are amazing, we had the perfect family holiday.

William

Welcome pack was unexpected touch which helped make a great stay. Found cottage comfortable and well maintained, would love to go back when weather is better to enjoy the patio more, shame no gazebo or such like available for hot tub or for use with table and chairs. Lynsey and her team were so friendly and made us so welcomed.

Great location, great property, fabulous weather, enough said!

Rachel

The cottage and surrounding area and views can only be described as spectacular. Had the most amazing time and would love to stay again. Not a stone has been left unturned in the planning of this place in terms of sheer luxury and layout of the cottage and outdoor area. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Big thank you from the Collins family

Suzanne

Peaceful setting, fantastic views and spacious comfortable accommodation

Andrea

Can not fault this place. A welcome pack with essentials such as tea and milk perfect after a long drive getting there. Breathtaking views from the bedroom and hot tub, perfect after a day exploring the region.

Absolutely superb, everything was spotlessly clean, so many extras like a hamper of artisan bread, eggs, Prosecco, could see miles of views from the Hot tub. Plenty of good walks from the cottage, lovely quiet area but also near some fantastic pubs with ale & excellent food. Also the cottage had a very well equipped kitchen so we cooked and ate on the veranda...the views are so stunning you wont want to go out every evening!

Claire

What an absolutely stunning property in a beautifully tranquil location. We loved our stay at keepers cottage and Lindsay and Andrew couldnt have done more for us. My mums birthday trip away was everything we hoped it would be and more. Close enough to pubs, activities including the steam railway and country walks but far enough away that you could just close the door on the world. Absolutely perfect. Thank you for renting our your beautiful cottage it was out of this world.

Joanne

The property was absolutely stunning sat in beautiful landscape. The view from the hot tub was amazing. The awful weather didn't stop us enjoying the hot tub and the logburning fire soon warmed us up after jumping out back into the house. I loved the heated floors and didn't put my slippers on once. The gorgeous food hamper was a lovely touch. Cartmel is only a 10 min drive away with some lovely pubs and a fab wineshop with a winesnug attached to it for a few cheeky glasses. You've also got the option of picking your own cheese board from the cheese shop next door and taking it into the snug. We had a fab weekend in an amazing cottage and wpuld definitely recommend it to anyone.

Keepers Cottage was absolutely beautiful, everything about it was just perfect. The cottage has everything you could need and was finished to a really high standard. The view were to die for especially when sat in the hot tub.

Michelle

We had an excellent holiday, the accommodation was excellent and cleanliness standard was very high. Hot tub was lovely & the views from it were fantastic. We stayed between Christmas & new year and we had a lovely Christmas tree in the living area which was such a nice touch. Also some lovely bread and jams were there on our arrival along with a bottle of champagne in the fridge!

Antony

Lovely place with great views, weather was a drought but didnt stop up getting in the hot tub. lovely and warm inside especially with the log fire. would definitely recommend cant wait to go again.

Carole

Keepers Cottage had everything we needed for a superb upmarket self catering holiday in a stunning setting. They provided every possible thing, including a muddler for the gin!. The cottage was immaculate and beautifully decorated throughout. The hot tub on the patio had the most fantastic view, there was also plenty of outdoor furniture allowing for eating or just relaxing. Would definitely recommend!

Where do I start, beautiful property and very high standard, extremely well equipped, lovely welcome pack including prosseco! !!! Views were breathtaking, this was booked for my husband's 50th and the owners very kindly brought him a card and wine, lovely touch, hot tub was amazing and to top it off wall to wall sunshine. Will def be recommending this property and hopefully will be back.

Caroline

The cottage was beautiful, comfortable, very clean and the facilities available were fantastic, a home away from home. The owners were every welcoming, provided a lovely welcome pack when we arrived which was greatly appreciated and the hot tub was superb with the views. An absolute treasure of a find and a perfect base for exploring the lakes.

Keeper's cottage is beautifully designed as are the other cottages in keeping with the original Estate development. Everything was to a very high standard, including the cleanliness.We appreciated being able to walk from the cottage and walked to Cartmel and back! There are some lovely places to visit in the area and we had family staying at Lakeside Village which was really convenient. We have stayed in many selfcatering properties over the years. Customers expect higher standards these days as it's not always the cheapest option, and Keeper's Cottage is at the top of our list. so thankyou to Sykes for offering a high standard of property to let.
