Mount Pleasant is a beautifully decorated and spacious cottage in Threlkeld, offering stunning mountain views from every window and excellent access to local walks, pubs, and transport links. Guests consistently praise its comfort, well-equipped kitchen, and flexible living spaces, making it ideal for families and groups. While some mention minor maintenance and cleanliness issues, as well as a lack of certain kitchen items and a tumble dryer, the overall experience is overwhelmingly positive, with many guests eager to return.
Most guests found the property clean and well-presented, especially the bedrooms and bathrooms. However, several reviews mention areas needing a deep clean, such as showers, kitchen cupboards, and under furniture, as well as occasional dead flies and minor maintenance oversights.

Guests consistently comment on the comfort of the house, including spacious rooms, comfortable beds, effective heating, and multiple lounges. The property is well-suited for mixed-age groups and families, with thoughtful layouts and plenty of space.
The cottage is generally well-equipped, with a modern kitchen, multiple bathrooms, and an EV charger. Some guests note a lack of certain kitchen utensils, a missing tumble dryer, and minor maintenance issues, but these do not detract significantly from the overall experience.
A few guests mention welcome gifts such as a bottle and some basics, but note these are not always provided or are minimal. Essentials like soap, cleaning products, and kitchen basics are sometimes lacking, so guests may wish to bring their own. Please note that welcome gifts are not guaranteed.

. Mount Pleasant is the pièce de résistance of our larger properties in the Northern Lakes. It’s got it all, location, views, south facing, the finest quality, space, garden and pub nearby. Renovated and luxuriously refurbished, including sumptuous carpets, bespoke hand-built kitchen and stunning Victorian style family bathrooms, and situated in the village of Threlkeld with views in every direction, from St John’s in the Vale and Clough Head to the front and the mighty Blencathra towering behind. Built from slate with a brown hue, mined locally and unique to Threlkeld, this impressive detached house enjoys the sun all day long and has phenomenal views from every room. There are two cracking pubs in the village, one with a restaurant and one serving bar meals. Keswick is 3 miles and access to the M6 is only 15 minutes drive. For those travelling on public transport there are regular buses from Penrith train station which drop you right outside the property, and continue in to Keswick.

Lovely house with quality furnishings, the EV charger is great to have and made journey planning so much easier. Every room has a lovely view, the parking provision is good for the lakes despite slightly tricky entry due to cars parked opposite.Easy walking from the door and the local pubs and cafe were excellent.We had a lovely week, this is certainly one of the nicest houses we have rented.Two minor gripes, the small clothes airer is insufficient for the size of house, and the top floor en-suite shower and extractor fan needs a thorough clean.

mount pleasant is ideal for mixed families as there is plenty of various rooms with tvs so people can choose to watch together or not.this is our 4th stay and we will be back but we have noticed that one or two things need replacing in the kitchen like lids missing on pans,no pint beer glasses but way too many wine glasses,and for the first time the under the stairs closet was locked so we could not hoover up or mop up the muddy floors after walking the dog.the house was lovely and warm with lashings of hot water.all in all we love the house and will return in the future.the small above mentioned niggles are FAR outweighed by the many plusses this house has to offer.

Great location, stunning views from all aspects. Comfortably furnished and well equipped kitchen. Understandably it is difficult to keep a large property clean however the kitchen is in need of a very good deep clean, also there was only a few teaspoons and 4 normal glasses so a little attention to detail is needed. That said overall 4 stars and would definitely stay again.
