“The parking out side us very bad.”

I had ni where to park on arrival until a car moved. Its just a dead end very narrow lane way at front of cottage. ...

I had ni where to park on arrival until a car moved. Its just a dead end very narrow lane way at front of cottage. The next day we went out in the car cane back and someone else parked there. There was no where to park again so i had to ask the pub next across the way if i could park there the rest of the time as the continued to be no spaces. This would put me off going back. Cottage was alot smaller than expected but ok for a couple of days. We found it to be very cold down stairs. We played board games on an evening on the floor as not enough room on the table and the floor was like ice, very cold and like a concrete type flooring, very uncomfortable. Apart from those issues it was an ok cottage. Over priced for what it is i think, but that i guess is the area.

“The cottage was home from home, we felt instantly at home the minute we got there!”

Keswick was a great base for many stunning walks and the centre a short walk away. We will be returning.

“Very nice cottage decor.”

Well equipped and extra bedding and towels were a bonus. Lovely touch having few bits for arrival and loved the large dog blanket provided.

“The ladies in the office were lovely, very friendly and helpful.”

The phone call to say the cottage was ready and we could collect the keys early if we wanted was so appreciated after a long drive, it was a lovely touch. The phone call to check everything was OK the day after arrival was also appreciated.

“Perfect in every way”

What a lovely few days staying in this cosy well equipped cottage . Stayed with our in laws and couldn’t have asked for better weather 18*c for Feb wow !!! Very clean and has everything you could want or need . WiFi great . TV has Netflix’s . Kitchen met our needs and could have cooked a 3 course meal if wanted . Very unusual for hol accommodation . Cottage is within walking distance of town i, taxis not expensive if you so desire . Petrol station nearby with extensive Spar attached . Pub opposite but it’s a bit scruffy ( I’m not a snob ). . Keswick has lots of cafes , bars and restaurants . Lots of shops and of course the scenery and walks are fabulous !!!!!! Thank you Deb Photos are of Derwent water and surrounding countryside

“BEST COTTAGE EVER”

Wow! Wow! Wow! We stayed at this cottage with friends (two couples) ,and can not wait to return. The cottage is so cosy and comfortable, great location for walks and town centre. Garage few yards away sold EVERYTHING you could need ( even sold my fave wine Mud house and was on offer) although all prices were competitive, garage also has cash point. Pub nearby served piping hot quality food. Cottage itself was extremely well appointed, luxury bedding and soft furnishings. Fantastic property, looking forward to our next stay.

“Lack of sleep due to blinds being broken”

- Mr Parsons, August 2018
“The cottage was very well appointed.”

The only negatives were the lack of a garden and occasional traffic noise.

“Cleanliness of house and how well equipped Also the thoughtful gesture of welcome pack .”

“Everything from directions to collecting the key was e-mailed to me.”

Nothing was forgotten I even had contact phone numbers and instructions where to collect/leave key should I be arriving/leaving out of office hours. The cottage was perfect.....spotlessly clean, comfortable bed, lovely little home touches placed around cottage. A warm inviting cottage after a long day walking.

“Spotless, well equipped and cozy!”

4 of us stayed here following a wedding in Keswick and it was superb. It was spotlessly clean, brilliantly well equipped-tea and coffee supplied and milk in the fridge! Was warm when we checked in which was fantastic in November! I'm 6'2" and bed was plenty big enough for me! Is a 10 second walk to the local pub, nice walk into Keswick along the old railway line. What's not to like. Would certainly stay here again.

“Great accomodation amidst The Peak Of The Snow!”

We arrived during some of the worst travelling conditions I have experienced. It took us 5 hours to drive from Edinburgh in the snow! Given that I am used to travelling to Keswick in under 3 hours in beautiful weather in the Summer, I had lowered my expectations of the stay by the time we hit Penrith. I am pleased to say that I was wrong to think the weather would curtail our fun. My 5 year old son, the dog and I had a wonderful time! Brigham Row was perfect for us. It provided a comfortable base for us whilst we set about on our adventures. My son thoroughly enjoyed it and welcomed going back to our cottage at the end of each day. Very clean and well presented. Great value for money! I would recommend this to any small family who want to combine the joy of eating out with the ease of self-catering. Close to the town centre. Overall a great start to our Easter holiday. Wonderful memories made!

“Great location”

It is a 10 minute walk from centre of Keswick. Nice little cottage, exactly what I was after. Big enough for 2 adults and 2 med-large dogs. Great pub across the street. Will definitely be going back there next year. The only downside is the lack of a garden. It was sorely missed with the dogs, but there was an area of grass across the road which also had the river greta running which was useful.

“Wish we stayed longer”

We booked a midweek short break which I found while looking on the Lakes cottage holidays web site. The cottage was very easy to find off the Penrith Road as you come into Keswick from the a66 off the M6. The cottage is on the oldest street in Keswick but comes with a mordern interior but with all the cosy feel you would expect from a cottage. 2 bedrooms one double & one twin, a cosy lounge/diner a modern well equiped kitchen & bathroom, all we needed for a lovely stay but my husband did complain to me that there was no log burner but I think thats just a man thing! It would have been lovely in the winter but we didn't even put the fire on as the weather was so hot.The sofa was comfy but it did depend where abouts you sat on it on how far you reached the floor, the cupboards contained plenty cleaning products which I used befoe we left & I also hovered I like to leave the place as I find. There were also some books to read, playing cards etc for rainy days and a cottage welcome pack with a number of pamphlets for ideas of where to go and what to do in Keswick. The cottage is just across the road from the river Greta, lovely parks and magical woodland walks that take you through woods up to Latrigg where you can look down over Keswick and take in the stunning views over Derwentwater & Bassenthwaite. There is a Jennings pub accross the road called the TWa Dogs Inn but we did not get the chance to use it(will do next time)There's a Londis and petrol station within walking distance and a fish and chip shop around the corner. It's a short 4 or 5 min walk to Main Street which is where the old town hall is, gift shops, tea rooms, pubs etc. There are also Booths & Coop supermarkets in the vicinity. We had fantastic weather and explored Cockermouth, Whitehaven & Workington. Would definately stay in this cottage again a brilliant find.

“A cosy, well equipped cottage in a very convenient location”

Brigham Row is a well appointed cottage which is very well equipped, cosy, comfortable and surprisingly roomy! Its location is very convenient, unless walking is a problem. All it lacked was a 'house' folder with details of how to operate various pieces of equipment; information about where to put rubbish and when collections take place; emergency medical contacts; leaflets showing places of interest etc. Suggest also some hooks in the kitchen to hang wet weather gear!

“Nice Place Shame about The Sofa!”

On the whole very good. All the rooms in the house are on the small side but probably exactly what you expect when renting a small cottage in the lakes. Very well cleaned and tidied though with the bathroom and kitchen nice and modern. The double bed was comfy and the bedroom furniture perfectly fine for a short stay. Didn't use the twin room at all so no opinion. Where it all falls down a bit though is with the sofa, sat on it first day and my bottom was nearly touching the floor, there was no support at all, desperatly in need of a replacement. Website says 5 mins from Keswick and it is, just a short stroll into town where there's plenty of shops, pubs and all the amenities you could want. On the whole very good and I would stay there again in the future.
