“Many thanks for the generous welcome pack of wine, biscuits, chocolates, milk, tea and coffee.”

Our dog was not left out too with treats and a super blanket for her to lie on. The house is clean, cosy and comfortable. Extremely well equipped for self catering. Only 5 minutes walk to Fitz Park and straight out of the door to many lovely walks. Not too far out of the town and a Spar a couple of minutes away. I would highly recommend this house.

“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.

“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.

“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.
