Guests say
5 The Plosh is a well-regarded cottage in Keswick, praised for its excellent location and cosy atmosphere. Guests appreciate the comfortable beds, well-equipped kitchen, and the added charm of a wood burner. The property is noted for its tranquillity and proximity to local amenities, making it a favoured choice for those looking to explore the town and surrounding fells.
The cottage generally maintains good cleanliness, though a few guests mentioned areas that could be cleaner, such as cupboards and the shower. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than a consistent issue.
The location is highly praised for being central, quiet, and convenient, ideal for exploring Keswick and the nearby walks, with easy access to the town centre and local attractions.
Most guests find the cottage comfortable, especially noting the beds and living areas. However, there were comments about a sloping mattress and mould in a bedroom, which slightly affected the comfort score.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and nice balcony. Some maintenance issues were raised, such as appliance instructions, a missing blind, and a non-working extractor fan, indicating room for improvement.
While guests enjoyed the cosy touches like a Christmas tree, there is no consistent mention of welcome gifts or additional thoughtful gestures that would warrant a score in this category.

Lovely Cottage in the heart of Keswick. Clean and warm, the perfect place to stay after a day in the fells. Minutes from all the amazing pubs and eateries.
