Description

On entering the Cottage the front door leads to entrance lobby with access to the large garage providing secure parking for one car plus ample storage for bikes, pushchairs etc. It also has a utility area with sink and additional storage space. The back door leads to a paved patio area with garden furniture.

Stairs from the entrance lobby lead to the first floor landing. From the landing a door leads to the open plan living area. There is a good sized, comfortable lounge with two settees, TV, and various pictures of Lakeland fells. A selection of tourist information, Lake District magazines and books are in the living room cupboard. The cottage is beautifully furnished, great attention to detail has been put into the decoration of each room and all the furniture is of excellent quality.

Alongside the lounge is the beautiful kitchen and dining area, with all the modern facilities as you would expect from your kitchen at home, so whether you eat out every night or stay in and play Gordon Ramsay, we are sure you will find everything you need. There is an electric oven with gas hob, microwave, large fridge freezer, dishwasher, and plenty of cupboard space, plus lovely views towards Latrigg & Skiddaw. The dining area has a pine table and chairs.

The second floor has two bedrooms, one double and one large twin bedroom, both bedrooms have quality mattresses & excellent bed linen for a comfortable nights sleep, bedside cabinets, wall lights, clock radios and built in wardrobes with ample hanging room and shelf space. Towels are provided. Also on the second floor is the modern shower room with large walk in shower, WC and hand basin.

Keswick offers plenty of options to keep you occupied during your stay. For walkers the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trial which starts next to the Keswick Leisure centre is a 5 kilometre (10 kilometre there and back) walk along what was once a railway track. It offers beautiful views and is a multi-user trial suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs and mobility scooters. If you fancy something with a little more elevation and spectacular views, Latrigg and Walla Crag can be reached from your doorstep, and you can even tick off some Wainwrights! 10 minutes out of Keswick is Whinlatter forest, which offers a huge selection of walks and outdoor activities.

Keswick itself offers lots of amenities, from shops to cafés, pubs to theatres, you will be spoilt for choice.

Great Location but shame about the beds
Well the weather was great so that always helps. The property is in the centre of Keswick so great for access to all the amenities of Keswick. The space was alright and the 2 bedrooms were of good size. The only issue with the bedrooms was the double bed in the main bedroom. It sank and wallowed all over so got very little sleep the first night. As there was just the 2 of us staying in the property we swapped to the other 2 single beds which were better although the soft sided bed bases do not make for comfortable sleeping. Parking is another issue. There is a good sized garage for the car but it is a bit of hassle getting the car in and out. On street parking is limited but always managed to find a spot. I imagine this will be more of a problem in the school holidays. But the fact that you are guaranteed a space because of the garage is a plus. Anyway the garage came in very useful with the dogs. If the beds are changed then we would use it again.

Thank you for taking the time to write a review of Alison's View, we glad you managed to visit during the recent fantastic weather. Alison's View is in a fantastic location, being a short walk from the town centre but in a relatively quiet area. We thank you for your feedback too and can assure you the mattress in the master bedroom is being replaced. We hope to welcome you back in the future! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

A little gem
Alison's View is perfectly situated in the town. The house is clean, comfortable and well equipped. I couldn't have wished for more. The garage was a total bonus. We put the car inside and walked everywhere - no need to worry about parking or was the car safe. We'll definitely look to see if Alison's View is free when we next visit.

Thank you so much for your lovely 5* review of Alison's View, we are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay at the property! Alison's View is a great property for couples, groups and families, with its central location its so easy to just leave the car and explore! We look forward to welcoming you back in the future! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Fourth Visit
Fourth visit to Alison's View so disappointed to find that it has become a bit “shabby” - walls and paintwork could do with a freshen up and the double bed is extremely uncomfortable, seemed to feel every spring, so much so that we departed a night early, hence the comfort score of 2. However, on a more positive note Alison's View is in a good location with the bonus of a garage and we would stay again if the mattress is replaced and the property freshened up

Thank you very much for taking the time to review your stay at Alison's View. The owner of the property is very conscious about keeping the cottage comfortable and well-maintained for guests. The week prior to your stay they had completed external painting (front of the cottage, garage door and patio walls) as well as having the patio jet washed. The internal paintwork was refreshed only a few months ago, but if this is now ready for attention again they will get that sorted. Following your feedback they have now ordered a brand new high-quality Sealy mattress for the double bed. We of course hope to welcome you back for your fifth visit very soon! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages
