    “Whilst the unit was of a reasonable standard in terms of furnishings and fittings with beautiful views it was impractical.”

    There are two improvements that need to be made which are of critical importance. 1. The entry road leading into the property is not significantly paved and this is not indicated anywhere. This proved challenging to get a Mercedes A180 in and out of the property with the underside of the car getting scuffed on the poor terrain. It should be indicated that low vehicles may struggle and give the customer to choose an alternative property. I would have done so. 2. The WIFI was absolutely ...

    There are two improvements that need to be made which are of critical importance. 1. The entry road leading into the property is not significantly paved and this is not indicated anywhere. This proved challenging to get a Mercedes A180 in and out of the property with the underside of the car getting scuffed on the poor terrain. It should be indicated that low vehicles may struggle and give the customer to choose an alternative property. I would have done so. 2. The WIFI was absolutely atrocious. I did continuous speedtests and the results indicated a maximum download of 1.82 Mbps and a maximum upload of 0.66 MBps. This was totally insufficient for either of us to work, e-mails would not download or sent properly, documents could not be uploaded and video conferencing was absolutely impossible. Expectations should be at least 50Mbps or this should be clearly indicated. The only TV app that could be handled by the atrocious WIFI speed was Netflix with all other apps unable to function properly. My Wife and I could not do anything and we had to find cafes with more suitable WIFI to conduct basic working activities. If anyone stays here intending to do work, please note that this would be impossible with a speed below 2 Mbps. This is why I personally would not start here again as it was an issue for us to sit in cafe's 2 hrs a day just to do basic work activities. If you don't have to do any work, don't need to use social media and have a car with significant ground clearance to get in and out then this would be suitable.

    Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear of your issues regarding the Wi-Fi, unfortunately as we were not made aware of this during your stay we were unable to attend to see if it could be rectified. We always recommend guests check the suitability of a property and any access requirements prior to booking. Lakelovers Owner Team Property Owner

The property

Garden Cottage is a converted one bedroom ground floor apartment located in delightful gardens with views over the town to the fells beyond. An ideal romantic retreat to enjoy the Lake District at any time of year. Fieldside Grange is located on the outskirts of Keswick on the Castlerigg Stone Circle road accessed by its own private drive way lined with mature trees, shrubs and rhododendrons. Built circa 1850, Fieldside Grange was once a farmhouse and has been sympathetically renovated and refurbished in recent years to provide four 1 bedroom and six 2 bedroom apartments whilst retaining its original slate and stone building. Set in its own grounds of 1 and a half acres which offer magnificent views towards Keswick and Derwent Water, there is ample space to enjoy a picnic or for the kids to run around whilst still in sight of the building. The apartments are all individually designed and are centrally heated: Garden Cottage is a lovely ground floor apartment with the benefit of having its very own private garden and patio area to enjoy.

About the location

KESWICK

Bassenthwaite 7 miles, Ullswater 16.6 miles; Cockermouth 13 miles.

The popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the North of the Lake District and has plenty to offer the visitor at any time of year. The town boasts numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, excellent parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing and great mountain biking opportunities, whilst the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. Nearby, between Braithwaite and Buttermere is the beautiful Newlands Valley, while picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake is well worth a visit. From a gentle countryside ramble to a challenging hike up Skiddaw or the famous Catbells, there really is something for everyone. Visit Castlerigg Stone Circle, the Jennings Brewery and Mirehouse, a grand house and gardens on the shores of the Bassenthwaite Lake, or take a fabulous boat trip around Derwentwater. With plenty of attractions for the kids, lovely parks and the nearby Lake District Wildlife Park this is a great Lakeland destination whatever the time of year.
