“A very spacious apartment in a lovely quiet location yet close to the centre of Keswick.”

Very clean and well equipped with everything you could possibly need.

- Mrs Taylor, September 2020
“Fantastic cottage right in the centre of Keswick, spotless clean and the best equipped kitchen I’ve seen in self catering.”

Perfect for a post lockdown break!

- Mrs Scully, August 2020
“Great location with easy access to Keswick and walks onto the fells.”

Car Park permit was really convenient, we could leave the car all day without having to use it.Would stay at the Old Mill Cottage again.

- Mr Broomhead, July 2020

- Mrs Allen, February 2020
“Excellant location in the centre of Keswick close to the Wainwright pub as well as shops and market.”

Will definitely return.

- Mr Slee, February 2020
“Positioned perfectly for quietness yet just around the corner from all the buzz.”

- Mr Mcnab, December 2019
“Lovely apartment in a great central location for walks, pubs etc”

- Mrs Tait, November 2019
“Spacious excellent apartment 9/10.”

Location superb. Wi-Fi worked well. Plenty of space to hang clothes. Car parking card for main car park free is a bonus. Biggest problem for me was the low beams. I'm 6ft 3inches ! Ouch ! One or two points : Note the entrance has 22 steps up and is quite steep. We couldn't get the TV to work properly until we unplugged it from the no standby device and put it in a normal socket. You have to switch the hot water on and off, and it gets very very hot. I don't know if the thermostat was set properly or not working properly. It would be better with a timer and set to a much lower temperature. The towel heater was similar. You had to remember to switch it on /off. There was no temperature control as we have at home, so it got very hot. Remember to switch shower power on before you get in the shower ! One of the frying pans did not appear to work with the electric hob. The hob was quite tricky as temperature seemed to go up and down alarmingly. Remember to water the window sill plants !

“This cottage was in a great location for the town and lake.”

It was roomy, light and well equipped. We do feel, however that it should be clearer that the flight of stairs awaits you immediately you enter the property and they are steep. Also, the beams in each room could easily cause problems to folk above average height.

- Mrs Drummond, July 2019
“Very well located in the hub of Keswick plenty to see and do on the doorstep couldn't of asked for anything more”

- Mrs Atkin, June 2019
“This was our second visit to The Old Mill and we will stay there again.”

It is so central in Keswick and handy for the central car park. The owner had made a couple of improvements so thank you for that! It would be good to have really clear information about bin days, rubbish and recycling on display in the apartment. This would be so good for all properties as we always seem to have to sort through some confusion wherever we stay. It was not clear which bin round the back is the right one, and it is possible to recycle more than glass bottles at Otley Road. Just having this on display would be a good corporate policy for Sykes moving forward. We do love The Old Mill and were sorry to leave it again.

- Mrs Kneath, May 2019
“It was all really good”

- Mrs Brownsell, March 2019
“The welcome pack is poor with no information on dishwasher, very complicated ridiculous instructions on stand by tv, which didn't work so we just unplugged it.”

As we were there in between Christmas and New year, it would have been a nice touch just to have a small tree or something festive.

- Mrs Parry, December 2018

Thank you for your comments and your 9/10 rating for The Old Mill. We are sorry you had these difficulties, but Lakes Cottage Holidays would have rectified any such problem during your stay Owner relations
“Delightful apartment, pity about the parking”

Lovely apartment, well located, clean and spacious. Parking is in near by car park which is only reason why I didnt rate 5 star. That said, it is not the end of the world. Number of steps up to apartment and parking would mean this may not be suitable for some. Apartment is near the centre of town but just a little away so that you dont get any noise. Wifi would be a useful addition.

- Ian W, September 2016
“Fab flat in centre of Keswick”

Spacious flat with good facilities and generous supply of dishwasher tablets etc. Good to have parking permit for the week. Loved Keswick...plenty to do! only drawback; no wifi.

- Kay E, August 2014
“Ticked all the boxes”

This is the second time me and my wife have stayed at the Old Mill and both occasions have been faultless. The accomodation was perfect for our needs. The location a hop skip and a jump from the Keswick means that all the amenities are right on your doorstep. We had a great time.

“Delightful apartment”

Great location and well equipped - except no hairdryer and could not get fire to work though storage radiators meant nice and warm! Plenty of storage. Might be difficult for some with stairs from front door and very low beds.

“Home from home”

Second time we have visited The Old Mill. Lovely flat,very clean and well furnished,quiet road with all amenities round the corner. Never heard any neighbours, just down the road from the cinema and local small supermarket. Highly recommended, but the access stairs (18 I think) might put some people off (not us though). I would not recommend for young families for this reason. So sorry it is already booked for the week we need next year, hopefully the following year we will be back.

“Perfect walking holiday.”

very good service from Cottage holidays as previously. This flat is lovely, in a great location in the centre of Keswick, but we weren't aware of any noise. We love the choice of places to eat and the general atmosphere of the place.

- A FlipKey verified reviewer, June 2012
“amenities central”

This property is just off the centre of town. Brilliant for shops, pubs, restuarants and even the cinema is just at the top of the road. Keswick itself is a fine place to stay being close to the lake and a good place to start many walks - the reason we went to Cumbria.

“Home from Home”

The cottage was clean, comfy and nicely decorated. It had lots of nice little personal touches such as fresh flowers on the balcony, bits and bobs under the sink like washing up liquid, dishwashing tablets etc and all these little things made a difference
