Making memories with 3 generations
Arrived to a large lovely warm house clean, tidy and well presented. Each bedroom had its own bathroom plus an additional toilet downstairs. Well located in Keswick and the Chippy at the bottom of the road together with the Chinese opposite it are well worth a visit. However order the Chinese the day before unless your happy for a long wait! Had some great walks Cat bells, Castle Cragg, around the Lake and others. Honister Slate mine tour was well worthwhile and Go-Ape was fun for all the family. Would happily return next year as it was a hit with all the family. Roxy the dog was very safe in the rear garden.

Thank you for taking the time to write such a lovely review of Ellergill, it sounds like you packed a lot into your stay! Ellergill provides an excellent space for families to get together and create new memories, which it sounds like you all did! With a central location in Keswick there is plenty for everyone to do, and activities such as Honister Slate Mine and Go Ape Whinlatter are just a short drive away! We look forward to welcoming you all (and Roxy the dog!) back next year! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Excellent as last as long as you plan to cook no big meals
The only issue was with the cooking facilities. The oven is not suitable for cooking for a large crowd.

Thank you for your 5* review of Ellergill, we hope you had a pleasant stay! Ellergill is a fantastic property for large groups, with plenty of space, parking and a central location- all of Keswick's amenities are a stones throw away! Thank you for your feedback also, we will forward this onto the owners! We hope to welcome you back in the future! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Amazing stay!
We're a family of 6 adults, 2 children, 2 dogs and we've just come back from the most amazing stay at Ellergil. You couldn't find a better location, and the fact it had a small garden for the dogs was a complete winner. The beds were super comfy, there was so much space and everything you needed and more in the kitchen. Lots of fun games provided, which was an added bonus. We also went up at the end of Nov and we had Christmas trees in the living rooms and lovely decorations. Made a huge impact We've fed back some small suggestions to Keswick cottages, for example some Children's cutlery, plates etc, and we needed to have a baby gate put in as the doors didn't stay shut and needed dogs in one place. But these were minor things and didn't impact stay at all. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again! Infact, we are looking at dates when we can and this time we'll be looking to come with a group of friends. The house is perfect for everyone Thank you!

Thank you for your amazing 5* review! We are so thrilled that you enjoyed your time at Ellergill and it's wonderful to hear that you would like to come back. We must say, playing games round the table by the Christmas tree just sounds like the perfect way to enjoy time on your family holiday, we don't blame you for wanting to come back! The feedback is much appreciated, thank you, we will happily pass this on to the owner for you. Have a lovely Christmas and New Year and we look forward to hosting you next time. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

The house is in an excellent, central location. We were a group of 8 women meeting for a family get together and the house was perfect. It is clean, spacious, sunny and had everything we needed and more. The information received prior to our visit regarding our stay was great and having the app on my phone was really handy. We will definitely book again and will recommend to others.
