Guests say
Bianca Rose is a spacious and well-equipped cottage in Keswick, praised for its proximity to the town centre and scenic views. Guests appreciate the ample hot water, heating, and homely feel. Some concerns over cleanliness and maintenance were noted, but the property's charm and location often outweigh these issues.
Mixed feedback on cleanliness, with several guests finding the property well-kept, while others reported issues such as unvacuumed areas and stained items. The inconsistency suggests room for improvement.
The location is highly regarded for its convenience to the town centre and local attractions, with guests frequently mentioning the ease of accessing shops, restaurants, and walks.
Guests find the property comfortable, with a homely feel and well-furnished rooms. Some guests suggested that the mattresses could be comfier, indicating a generally positive but not perfect comfort level.
The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, but some guests noted a need for better maintenance and replenishment of cleaning supplies. The presence of multiple bathrooms is a plus.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the owner, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

I've been to Keswick several times and probably liked this property more than any other. Plenty of space, nicely decorated and homely, and perfect for 2 couples (2 double rooms) plus a twin room for children. Mattresses ok but as others have said, could be a bit comfier but really liked the location, property itself, and would definitely go back there.

We would love to have given more stars but unfortunately the houskeeping service has badly let the cottage owners down. Our friends found their loft room bed sheets hadn't been changed - didn't find any clean sheets until the next day in a store cupboard.. A bathtowel was dirty but rolled up as new. We had to look in the store cupboard for a bathmat, drying up towel, oven gloves. I contacted cottages.com & reported this - they said they would forward my complaint. It would've been nice to receive a follow up email with an apology on our return. We will not use this company again
