Guests say
Thwaite Hill Cottage is praised for its peaceful location, stunning views, and rustic charm. Guests appreciate the upside-down layout, cosy living space, and proximity to Keswick and walking trails. The property offers a homely and comfortable stay, with a well-stocked kitchen and good central heating, making it a likely choice for return visits.
The cottage's cleanliness received mixed feedback. Some guests found it clean enough, while others noted issues with hygiene, such as dirty kitchen equipment and a need for better attention to cleanliness. The presence of pasta and game pieces on the floor was mentioned, suggesting room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its beautiful views, proximity to Keswick, and easy access to walking trails and Whinlatter Forest. The peaceful setting and the ability to explore the North Lakes from this base contribute to its high rating.
Comfort levels are generally well-regarded, with a cosy lounge and warm central heating. However, some guests mentioned firm or uncomfortable mattresses, which slightly impacted the overall comfort experience.
Facilities are appreciated, including a well-stocked kitchen and good Wi-Fi. However, there are comments about dated appliances, a non-draining shower, and the need for maintenance in areas like the utility room and garden, which affects the score.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category. Therefore, the score is set to null.

Excellent, warm, well-equipped, quaint cottage with loads of local walking on the doorstep. The new window addition gives fabulous views of Skiddaw and we even had a red squirrel visit. We have a VW transporter and parking was no issue for us, passengers just got out before pulling in. Will definitely visit again as we all (including 2 teenage daughters) loved it.
