Guests say
Herdwick View is a modern and spacious property with luxurious touches, offering stunning views and a relaxing atmosphere. The cleanliness and comfort of the large bedrooms and bathrooms are highly praised, and the hot tubs are a highlight. The location is convenient for exploring the Lake District. Some guests experienced issues with communication and maintenance, but these do not overshadow the overall positive experience.
The property is generally described as spotless and very clean upon arrival, with only one mention of it not being as clean as expected on a repeat visit.
The location is appreciated for being close to popular spots and walking locations within the Lake District, and conveniently a short drive from Keswick.
Guests find the property comfortable, with cozy and luxurious decor, comfy beds, and spacious rooms. The presence of multiple bathrooms and hot tubs adds to the comfort level.
Facilities are generally excellent, with a modern house and luxurious fittings. However, there are concerns about maintenance, such as a cracked induction hob and a fire alarm issue.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

Beautiful cottage. Excellent facilities however never saw the owner. They did not ring prior to arrival as mentioned in their information. Communication was very poor. Messaged the number that was in the info book. Someone eventually responded to say they would call around but never did. Induction hob was cracked with glass splinters coming from it. Also possible electrocution if water went into the cracks. Put off using the cooker.

Lovely house with lots of space. Nice size dining area as part of the kitchen . 3 of the bathrooms amazing size and super clean/ 4th one is super clean just smaller Hot tubs were fabulous, always warm and frequently used. Location is great, for this part of the lakes with Keswick just a short drive away for all the shops. A very good location !

We had an incredible stay overall! The view was absolutely breathtaking, and the two jacuzzis were such a treat, perfect for relaxing in the evenings. The bedrooms and bathrooms were large, clean, and beautifully decorated, giving the place a cozy yet luxurious feel. Everything inside was comfortable and well equipped. However, we were a bit disappointed that the hosts werent very responsive when we had questions/wanted confirmations about some of the amenities. Also, the reception area was actually located inside the Bar & Bistro, but there were no signs indicating this, so it took us a while to figure out where to check in. Aside from those small isues, we truly enjoyed our stay and would still recommend the place for its amazing views, spacious rooms, and relaxing atmosphere.
