“Great place close to Keswick pub close by”
Mrs Grayston August 2020

“The cleanliness was the main big issue which we contacted the owner about.”

They suggested a spring clean on are last full day there which isn't practical, since we had a lot of are personal belongings inside. I didn't feel comfortable there with the appalling cleanliness mainly with the dust and cobwebs. The toilet rim was dirty also and the kitchen sink had black scum around the edge. We all felt cramped with our baby and not suitable for a family, it is a lot better for a couple only. We couldn't wait till we left to go back to a clean home. Even though it is dog friendly it should still be cleaned at an exceptional standard, since covid happening especially. We won't be going back and feel that we had over spent for what we had. However the facilities and the free wine and water was a nice gesture.

Many thanks for your feedback relating to your recent stay at Brigham Row cottage. You state you were unhappy with the cleanliness of the property and that you contacted the owner. The owner immediately offered to visit the property the following day to carry out a deep clean, which you promptly declined as your personal belongings were inside the property. Upon further investigation, it appears you did not make such contact until 7pm on day three of your four night stay. Had you contacted us sooner, we would have been only too happy to arrange for a housekeeper to visit the property. However, as your main concern was dust, and at the time you raised the issue with the owner you had been in the property for three days, it would be difficult to determine dust levels at the time you checked in. This would be the same for the toilet and sink. You state you felt cramped however the property is popular with families who give positive feedback. We are pleased you enjoyed the complimentary wine, water, chocolates and biscuits. Owner relations

“When we walked in on our arrival we were so pleasantly surprised.”

The cottage had been trimmed up for xmas which we had not expected , it looked so cosy and inviting. It really set our xmas off to a great start. Then we found all the complimentary gifts. There was a bottle of bubbly candles, box of biscuits, box of chocolates kendall mint cake, scones and jam and as if that wasn't enough there was a little gift wrapped pouch of dog treats and a beautiful dog blanket for our dog molly. The cottage was warm and cosy and wasn't short of anything. It's conveniently located just a short walk into keswick and although at the side of a road and pub not noisy at all. All in all we had a great week and can't thank you enough. We will definitely recommend you and use you again. Thank you for a great xmas.

“To leave adequate room in the Living room area I would suggest that the wooden sea chest full of games is removed upstairs into a cupboard in the main bedroom where there is plenty of space as it is extremely awkward to sit at the table or to move it to allow room to sit down.”

I did suggest this in the guest book at the cottage. Otherwise cottage fine.
Mr Hind August 2019

“Great well looked after cottage, would definitely book again.”
Mrs Kelly July 2019

“Very central location, just a short walk into Keswick town center.”

Parking was a bit difficult but the Twa Dogs Inn across the road let us park in their car park. The welcome packs for my dog and her humans was a very thoughtful touch. The only thing I was a concerned (in case of fire) about was there was only one entrance/exit, otherwise the cottage itself was very well equipped for a comfortable stay.
Mrs Bardrick April 2019

“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.
Mr Newsome April 2019

“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. 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.
Mrs France March 2019

“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.
Miss Peek February 2019

“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.
Mr Hoggarth February 2019

“The cottage was lovely felt like home from the second of walking on the door”

“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.

“Very nice cottage small but so cosy and clean”

“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.

“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.

“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!
