“Perfect place for a lakes holiday with a toddler.”

Great location for walking into/around Keswick and for short day trips out. Fairfell was very clean, comfortable and quiet (which was a surprise being so close to Keswick!)

Great location for walking into/around Keswick and for short day trips out. Fairfell was very clean, comfortable and quiet (which was a surprise being so close to Keswick!) There was a lot provided with the property, but it would have been helpful to have a few more kitchen essentials, e.g salt and pepper, oil and kitchen roll.

- Helen, April 2022

Thank you for your positive and helpful feedback on Fairfell. Really pleased you and your toddler enjoyed your stay and we look forward to welcoming you back when you are next in the Lakes. Property Owner

“Fairfell is a lovely, comfortable bungalow in a quiet setting within a few minutes walk of the centre of Keswick.”

It had everything we needed to enjoy our stay in The Lake District.

Natalie February 2022

“Really great bungalow, clean comfortable and warm with everything we needed for our stay.”

Close enough to walk to town centre in 10 mins and plenty of walks to do from the door. Garden will also be lovely to sit in when wether is better. Genuinely can't fault it.

- Natalie, February 2022

Thank you ever so much for your fantastic feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Fairfell and hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Claire February 2022

“Lovely stay in a lovely cottage, walking distance to the centre of Keswick so very convenient.”

Well equipped, clean and nicely decorated and made for an easy stay for our family of 4. Fantastic views from the good sized garden, weather was poor for our stay but in better weather this is a real asset. Drive is cosy but our C-max fitted fine.

- Claire, February 2022

Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at Fairfell and hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner
Angela January 2022

“We have previously stayed in this bungalow and it is perfect but I’m not sure I understand the extensive cleaning, there were grease marks on the side of the extractor fan and one of your previous guests kindly left a pair of socks under the sofa!”

Obviously the carpet under the sofa doesn’t get vacuumed?The vacuum cleaner looks like it hasn’t been emptied for weeks. I also emailed your office twice asking for a 10 am checkout, I know that you say you can’t accommodate this but every other company we have stayed with in Keswick has asked the cleaner if this is ok as we normally do the park run at 9am , if it wasn’t possible that wouldn’t have been a problem but to not even answer my emails is bad customer service especially as I received a text at 03.41 and also an email telling us how to checkout?.

- Angela, January 2022

Thank you for your feedback. I am really pleased to hear that you find Fairfell perfect but sorry to hear of the issues you experienced with the cleaning and check out time. I have spoken to Sykes/Lakes Cottage Holidays and understand that they are liaising with you directly regarding this. I do hope you will consider staying at Fairfell again next time you are up in the Lakes. Property Owner

“Lovely bungalow, very clean, warm, comfortable beds, high quality wardrobes, drawers etc.”

Very quiet location, close to town & great for walks from the doorstep. Everything you need.

Sheila October 2021

“Like other holidaymeker we were also unable to park in the drive .”

This made it quite difficult for my disabled husbans as he had to negotiate the steps. This needs to be included i the property discription.

- Sheila, October 2021

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you found the parking at Fairfell difficult. We have updated the property description as you suggested to outline that the driveway is more suited to smaller / medium sized vehicles as it can be a tight fit for larger vehicles. However, as you found, it is generally possible to park directly outside the house on-street as Fairfell is in a quiet residential area. We trust you found the rest of your stay at Fairfell enjoyable. Kind regards. Property Owner

“Very nice bungalow in a fantastic location.”

Quiet but also close to the centre of town. Bungalow fairly well equipped and well presented. Quite small for 4 people (we have 2 grown up children) but perfect adequate. Service from the agent excellent - there was a leak in the boiler that was fixed the same day. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would be happy to stay at Fairfell again.

- Iain, August 2021
Alison August 2021

“Our car wouldn't fit down the drive at the bottom as requested, so we had to park on the road.”

This was fine, but I feel it should be made clear on the info that larger cars may not fit. We specifically chose this property as it had parking.

- Alison, August 2021
Kenneth June 2021

“This property is advertised as sleeping four, with the twin beds in the configuration shown in the website photos this would be correct, however, in this configuration the bedroom door cannot be closed, the beds have to be pushed together and the bedside table moved to enable the door to close, this is not an acceptable situation.”

The garden furniture is child size and would be better if replaced with adult size seats and table. The lawn has not been cut in weeks and the climbing plant next to the garage is blocking the path.

- Kenneth, June 2021

Firstly, thank you for your feedback. We are really sorry to hear that you found the configuration of the twin room unacceptable; when the room is set up for guests, the beds should be configured as per the web photos but with the bed moved a small distance away from the wall - this allows for the door to shut. With regards to the garden furniture, it is standard adult sized furniture, and this is the first time that we have received this feedback. I am sorry that it did not meet your expectations. The lawn has now been cut and it had not been maintained to the standards expected. Arrangements are being put in place to prevent this in the future Once again, I would like to thank you for taking the time to feedback and help us make improvements for future guests. Property Owner

“Very clean comfortable bungalow.”

Once inside Mam with walk was free to move around. Seating fantastic. Near to Keswick Main Street. Will definitely consider it for another holiday.

Louise April 2021

“Loved the location and felt we had everything we needed.”

Liked that we could stream Netflix, Amazon etc. Only criticism is that the toaster did not work.

Gail September 2020

“The property was extremely clean.”

Beds very comfortable. Lovely furnishings. Walking distance to town. Lovely views.

- Gail, September 2020
Janette September 2020

“Property was clean and comfortable in a nice area with lovely views.”

Only negatives tv and phone line disappear when weather is bad, and we feel we should of been told about the renovations at the adjoining property.

- Janette, September 2020
Peter August 2020

“Booking process and communication very good.”

Accommodation and location also very good. Clean, very comfortable and in excellent decorative order. Would have liked a summer duvet provided, or sheet and blanket. 13 tog duvet is too warm in August.

- Peter, August 2020
Mike February 2020
