Latrigg Cottage in Keswick offers stunning views and a peaceful location, ideal for nature lovers and walkers. Guests appreciate the warm, comfortable accommodations and the wildlife that visits the property. While some find the decor and furnishings dated, the charm of the location and the helpful staff are frequently mentioned positives.
The cottage generally appears to be clean upon arrival, but some guests have noted that it could benefit from a deeper clean, and a few found kitchen items to be dirty. Overall, the cleanliness is satisfactory but has room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its spectacular views and proximity to walking trails. It is considered perfect for those seeking a tranquil setting and a base for exploring the Northern Lakes and Keswick.
Guests find the cottage warm and comfortable, but some have mentioned that the beds and seating could be more comfortable. The twin room is preferred over the double for comfort, and a suggestion for a handrail for accessibility has been made.
Facilities are seen as adequate but in need of updates and additions, such as kitchen equipment and possibly a dishwasher. Some guests have also suggested the inclusion of a washing machine. The presence of an electric car charger is a bonus.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts. Therefore, this category cannot be scored.

Perfect base with access to lots of walks. Lots of wildlife to see in the centre and the most beautiful view. Bedrooms were big, clean and comfortable. Overall cottage needs a bit of updating and a few comforts wouldn't go a miss. Still some basic kitchen equipment missing such as an oven tray, dish sponge and bin bags but we managed. It wasn't too much of a problem as dogs were always on leads but for a pet friendly cottage it's not obvious that the garden area is open and not secure.

We had a wonderful time and would love to come back. Previous reviews mentioned a lack of kitchen equipment - this seems to have been addressed as there is now a chopping board, cheese grater and oven dishes.

Larger inside than it looks. Just right...
