Fantastic stay
2nd visit to this gorgeous cottage. Beautiful as ever. Everything you could need like home from home. Trimmed up ready for Christmas which we loved. Spotlessly clean. Having the fire made it very cosy. So close to centre with so many beautiful shops/pubs and attractions. Loved the Christmas/victorian market. Such a lovely community. Will book again soon. Thank you

Great cottage
Lovely cottage in central Keswick, east to get to the lake and the town centre.
Spacious lounge and dining area with good sized bedrooms. The top floor only really suitable for children due to head height.

Very Comfortable Cottage in an Excellent location in Keswick
My family and I plus the dog stayed in Acorn Cottage for a week. The Cottage is in an excellend location within a 5 minute walk into Keswick Town centre. The cottage was clean and very spacious, large living room and dining room and large bedrooms.
The welcome packages left were good and very thoughful as there was a separate one for the dog. I have recommeded this to family and friends and I would certainly return. Thank you

Perfect location, cosy and accommodating.
The cottage is a great size with everything you need for a perfect stay. The beds are super comfortable, kitchen has everything you would need and customer service is great. Location is perfect as it’s so close to Keswick centre and when we couldn’t go on walks because of the rain staying in was just as enjoyable.

Nice cottage, great location
Pleasant stay, great location close to everything. Property is clean and comfy, stayed before and would definitely stay again.
Only issue is with the gate at the side to the rear doesn't close properly and dogs can get out onto the road.

Fantastic Property & Stay in Keswick
We visit Keswick regular and this was the first time we have booked through Keswick cottages and the experience was fantastic. We particularly liked the easy booking system and the digital guide with everything we needed to know for our entire stay at the lovely Acorn Cottage.
The cottage itself was fantastic, doggy friendly and had everything we could have needed for our long weekend stay. It was clean, spacious, super light and airy which made it a nice place to chill between walks and beers. The cottage was well furnished and cosy. We’d definitely stay again. Thank you.

Amazing cottage
Such a lovely cottage. Great space, so well furnished and great location. The bed in the main bedroom was the most comfortable I’ve ever slept in! Great location too. Could always park out front of cottage. Will definitely go back! 5*

Lovely cottage, great location.
Lovely cottage, great location. One or two things needing attention such as the kettle didn't work, neither did the tin opener. Also the heating controller was flashing some sort of error so we couldn't get that on. Really enjoyed our stay though and we'd go back.

Peace on the edge of town
A wonderful cottage for up to six people and two dogs with free parking and a very short walk to the town, the market, churches and the Convention. It was a bit of a military operation for so many people with just one shower/ bath, but there were two toilets. The stairs were a bit steep for some. The staff at Keswick Cottages were close by and excellent, patiently listening and responding quickly to our requests and suggestions

Half term break
Good size cottage, ideal for two small families.plenty of space for everyone.
Nice little welcome pack to start us off.
Location ideal for walking into Keswick.
Could do with more up to date central heating instructions - we were sweating during the night & couldn’t figure out how to turn it off!

Lovely stay in lovely cottage
We have just returned from a week at acorn cottage and it was perfect. Very spacious- great for our four kids (the two oldest in their own rooms on the 2nd floor which made them very happy!), kitchen is well kitted out for self catering, lounge is good size and comfortable and we even got fire going as it was a wet week! Only down size was very small area outside for dog but that’s to be expected being in central Keswick. 5 minute walk to shops and 10 minute walk down to lake- ideal if you want easy access to Keswick and to avoid traffic queues. Thanks, we had a great stay! Also lovely touch to have welcome box with nice biscuits, milk, coffee sachets etc!

Lovely old cottage
This was our first time staying in Acorn Cottage and thoroughly enjoyed it. We visited over the Easter break and the weather was v mixed so it was so nice to come back to somewhere cosy and warm. A little welcome pack provided (tea/coffee/biscuits) and some washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, oven gloves, tea towels also supplied.
A good porch for dirty walking boots etc.
Plenty of room in the living room for 6 people with 2 large sofas and a chair and separate spacious dining room. The bedrooms were lovely with comfy beds, a small bathroom but perfectly adequate and plenty of hot water. The kitchen is also small but well equipped tho could do with a bread knife, and is generally in need of an update. I found some dirty bowls and plates in the cupboards but put this down to previous occupants not checking them when taking them out of the dishwasher, as they were still wet too. We didn't use to the utility area or back yard but useful to have if needed.
Location is fantastic as very close to the shops (5 minute walk) and loads of walks from the doorstep.
Parking was a bit of an issue for us as there was no space in front of the cottage when we first arrived so had to unload the car from over the street in the wet which wasn't great. Realise it was Easter week so very busy but a shame there isn't an allocated space for the cottage. Despite this however we did have a great holiday and absolutely loved the cottage. Thanks very much.

Lovely house but a few minor points
Check-in was a bit late in the afternoon (4pm), I have seen other reviews saying this also.
Very large lounge with 2 comfy sofas and 1armchair, armchair could do with clearing out as had lots of food debris caught down the side of the cushions.
Kitchen was very small, house is for 6 and it was definitely not big enough for that many in the kitchen. There was far too much china in the cupboards, far too excessive for only 6 people. This meant there was no cupboard space for any food we bought with us. A wooden cupboard in the kitchen has items like a fish platter dish. I think a de clutter of some items in the cupboard would be ideal.
Outside is a small courtyard which was very messy with broken hose and dog bowls. Also the exterior of the courtyard had rotten wood on the exterior. This we felt could have been tidier.
The bathroom was also very small and I think if you have slight mobility problems you would struggle to get out of the bath.
The 2 main bedrooms were very spacious and extremely comfortable beds.
We hunted for the hoover so we could clear up properly before we left, the information folder on the shelf in the dining room advised it was in a cupboard in the dining room, It wasn't there but in a cupboard on the 1st floor. This needs to be updated. Also the hoover smelt a bit foisty and damp. We did also find the little notes up on the walls advising what not to do was a little intimidating.
All in all we enjoyed our week in the house. Just a little de clutter in the kitchen would be our main gripe. Being so close to the town is obviously a big advantage and being January we had no problem parking out side the house all week

Mid week stay at Acorn cottage
We had a very comfortable stay from Monday to Friday at Acorn cottage despite some rather wet weather. The cottage was nicely decorated and furnished and well equipped. It is well positioned to walk in to Keswick to take advantage of Keswick's attractions.
