Guests say
Blencathra Bank is a well-appreciated cottage in Keswick, often praised for its convenient location and cosy atmosphere. Guests enjoy the conservatory and the property's suitability as a base for exploring the area. Despite some concerns over cleanliness and maintenance, many visitors have had enjoyable stays and some have become repeat guests.
Cleanliness has been noted as an issue by several guests, with specific references to the need for a more thorough clean in the bathroom and kitchen, as well as a dirty washer-dryer. However, some guests found the property to be clean, indicating inconsistency.
The location is highly praised for being quiet, convenient, and within walking distance to Keswick town centre. The scenic views and proximity to local amenities contribute to a positive experience.
Comfort is generally well-regarded, with the conservatory and spaciousness being highlights. However, multiple guests have suggested that the mattress quality detracts from the overall comfort, indicating a need for improvement.
Facilities are deemed good overall, with a well-equipped kitchen and entertainment options. However, maintenance issues such as a mouldy washing machine seal, a loose refrigerator, and a leaky shower have been flagged, suggesting room for improvement.
While some guests have suggested the inclusion of a welcome pack or basic commodities, there is no mention of gifts being provided or expected. Therefore, it cannot be confirmed if thoughtfulness in the form of gifts is a regular practice at this property.

Very lovely, warm cosy bungalow situated in a quiet residential area. A welcome pack (or even just some milk) would be a nice addition. Also we were left only one partial toilet roll for our stay which for two people for a week, we felt was a little mean. Other than that, we had everything we needed, the bungalow was lovely and warm, and a short stroll into the town centre and Fitz Park.
