Three generations of our family stayed at Rose Patch cottage. Fabulous facilities and location in Keswick - we could park the car at the start of the holiday and not use the car again till we went home! The car park permits were a real plus, with car parks so close by. The cottage location was close to the Lake, walks, and all amenities. There are a huge array of restaurants, bars, pubs etc to cater for all tastes in food and drinks in Keswick.We missed not having a larger hall space to take off shoes and boots so that we could keep other floors clean - but appreciate that the age and quirkiness of the cottage made this difficult.One shower tray flooded on first use, as the drain was blocked - it had clearly not been cleaned in a while - soon sorted, but spoiled the initial first day. The main bath also creaky, and sink tap very loose - some plumbing updates required?….We also struggled to use the instructions for the washing machine and tumble dryer - maybe would be a great idea to provide an “idiots guide” simple instructions guide.Loved the log burner effect fire and TV with so many channels - so cosy in the storm!Would definitely return to this lovely characterful, well located, property, loved by all our family.

The house is exceptionally well positioned for everywhere in Keswick. On the edge of the shopping and eating area and only a few minutes walk from Derwentwater and it’s views and ferries. The car parks are nearby. About 5 minutes walk to the bus station and Booths supermarket. The house itself is fairly spacious and well equipped. Lots of steps both outside to reach the door and inside to reach the bedrooms.

Had a great holiday at Rose Patch cottage .Amazing location as in the centre of Keswick.The kitchen had plenty of crockery ,cutlery etc .Parking was easily sorted by a virtual permit .The living room was a good size for our group of 9.Just to add the showers could have done with a deep clean (the cleaner did apologise on the day we arrived) and more teatowels ,cleaning sponge, washing up brush and toilet roll would be appreciated.
