Guests say
Glenwood offers an excellent base in the heart of Keswick, with guests consistently praising its unbeatable central location and the convenience of private parking. The cottage is well-equipped and warm, making it ideal for couples or small families. While some furnishings and mattresses could benefit from updating and a few guests noted occasional cleaning issues, most found the property comfortable and good value for money. Minor maintenance and attention to detail would further enhance the experience, but overall, Glenwood remains a popular choice for repeat visitors seeking a practical and well-situated holiday home.
Several guests found the property clean and tidy on arrival, but a notable number reported issues such as dirty crockery, cobwebs, and the need for a deeper clean. While the majority found it acceptable, there were enough negative comments to suggest cleanliness could be improved.
The location is universally praised, with guests highlighting its proximity to Keswick town centre, shops, parks, and public transport. The private parking space is considered a major advantage.
Guests appreciated the warmth and general comfort, but many mentioned uncomfortable or worn mattresses and creaky floors. Beds were a recurring issue, especially for those seeking a restful night's sleep.
The cottage is well-equipped with kitchen essentials, washer/dryer, and hot water. However, some maintenance issues were noted, such as outdated appliances, minor repairs needed, and a lack of facilities for walkers’ wet gear.
There were no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

The mattresses in the cottage were hard and uncomfortable, so if you are an older person requiring more comfort you might have a lot of trouble sleeping as I did. This can really ruin a holiday. Otherwise smaller issues were that the glass shower screen seal didn't seal, and the shower head clamp didn't hold the shower head in place. The smart TV took so long to get going I thought it was broken, but it was ok after ten minutes. Other than that it was acceptable.

Key safe hard to reach. Key tricky to use in lock. DVD not working. Tv connection variable. Extractor fan in bathroom not working. House good. Happy despite minor stuff above. Good location with parking.

Glenwood is in such a great location. Everything in walking distance. A parking space, lovely accommodation with everything you could need. We have just come home from our 4th visit and I expect we will try to book for next year too.
