Guests say
Pitcairn House in Keswick is highly praised for its excellent location, spaciousness, and well-equipped kitchen. It comfortably accommodates large groups, offering generous dining and living areas. Guests appreciate the ample parking and the property's proximity to the town centre. Some minor issues with cleanliness, heating, and maintenance are noted, but overall, guests are delighted with their stay and many would return.
Guests generally find the house well-maintained, though some noted it could be dustier in places and had lingering smells upon arrival. The issues appear to be minor and not widespread among reviews.
The property's location is consistently lauded for being close to the town centre and within walking distance to local attractions. Its quiet street setting is also appreciated.
The house is praised for its comfortable beds and spaciousness, suitable for large groups. However, the communal toilet's location on the top floor and heating issues during the night affected the comfort level for some.
The property is well-equipped, especially the kitchen, and guests are pleased with the amenities provided. Some maintenance issues with drafty windows, temperamental showers, and the lack of a communal toilet on lower floors are mentioned.
While guests are satisfied with the provisions such as dishwasher tablets, coffee, and tea, there is no mention of gifts, thus a score cannot be provided. It should be noted that while thoughtful touches are appreciated, they are not guaranteed.

Fabulous house, bright, airy and spacious, spread over four floors. Lovely and clean. Kitchen and dining area on ground floor and main living room on the first floor. Four bathrooms with ensuite, plus Three extra bedrooms on the top floor sharing a shower room and a toilet. Great place for a group of friends. Would highly recommend.

Lovely cottage spread over 4 floors - so lots of stairs if your on the top floor. Kitchen was very well equipped and we loved the huge dinning table. It’s missed a communal toilet to have to travel back to your own bedroom to use the facilities. Some of the electric showers were very temperamental either very very hot or cold. Needs a recycling Bin.
