Guests say
Brow Riding is a well-regarded cottage in Keswick, praised for its cleanliness, quiet location, and stunning kitchen views. It serves as an ideal base for exploring the Lake District. Guests appreciate the comfortable furnishings and ample parking, though one mention of a hard bed and a need for a deeper clean suggests minor room for improvement.
The property is generally considered very clean, with multiple positive remarks. However, one review suggests that a deeper clean might be beneficial, particularly concerning cobwebs.
The location is highly praised for being quiet and offering lovely views, as well as being within walking distance to the centre of Keswick, making it a perfect spot for visitors.
The bungalow is described as comfortable and well-furnished. However, a single complaint about one of the double beds being too hard slightly affects the score.
The property is well-equipped with everything needed for a stay, and the availability of parking for two cars is particularly appreciated. No significant issues with facilities are mentioned.
There is no information provided in the reviews regarding any special gestures or gifts that would indicate thoughtfulness, so it is not possible to assess this category.

The kitchen diner opens through sliding doors on to a raised sheltered patio, an ideal spot from which to watch the sun set over the mountains to the west.

There is ample parking space for two cars on the drive, and the single garage gives storage for outdoor equipment such as mountain bikes and kayaks.

The location is good just a short walk to the centre of keswick. There is parking for two cars which is good in keswick. The bungalow is very comfortable and has everything you need. The view from the kitchen is amazing and there are often superb sunsets. The only negative is it needs a good deep clean especially for the cob webs.
