Guests say

Blencathra Bank is a well-equipped, spacious bungalow in a peaceful area of Keswick, praised for its convenient location, lovely conservatory, and comfortable atmosphere. Guests appreciate the easy access to town and local walks, as well as the quiet neighbourhood. While many found the property clean and cosy, some noted occasional lapses in cleaning and maintenance, particularly with the washing machine and garden. Suggestions for improvement include a firmer mattress, a clothes airer, and small welcome touches. Overall, guests enjoyed their stays and many would happily return.

Most guests found the property clean and tidy, but several mentioned issues such as dirty washing machines, bins not emptied, and areas needing a more thorough clean (bathroom, kitchen, cutlery). These recurring comments suggest generally good standards with some inconsistencies.

The location is highly praised for its quiet setting and proximity to Keswick town centre and local walks. Guests consistently found it convenient and peaceful, with only minor mentions of the walk into town.

The bungalow is described as spacious, warm, and comfortable, with particular appreciation for the conservatory and beds. However, repeated feedback about the main mattress being uncomfortable and in need of replacement slightly lowers the score.

Guests appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, board games, and conservatory. Suggestions for improvement included a clothes airer, a second TV, and better maintenance of appliances and the garden. Some maintenance issues (washing machine, fridge, shower) were noted.

Several guests mentioned the absence of a welcome pack or basic supplies (milk, salt, toiletries), which are often expected in self-catering properties. While some appreciated fresh bedding and towels, gifts or welcome packs are not guaranteed.
