    “The Cottage: the property is lovely, the beds were comfy, however we were disappointed the provisions were very basic, we had shopped before we arrived bringing food and cleaning products expecting to see at the very least some salt, pepper, tea, coffee, sugar and washing up liquid (yes there was a dishwasher but we wash up and clean every day) for at least a first drink after travelling, we may have been spoilt in previous properties but we've always been left a welcome note/pack even dog treats and wine, but nothing, even check wasn't that welcoming, having to ring for someone to check me in and the gent wasn't that interested and wanted to get off back to were he'd been chatting to some others staff in what turned out to be right next to our cottage.”

    I had to ask for more toilet paper as we were given one and a half rolls for 5 people over a week and was begrudgingly given two more. I knew there was no washing machine but there is no washing facilities on site so we had to had wash all our wet gear and towels, radiators had to be put on to dry everything which were not great, bear in mind we were walking in the rain, swimming/kayaking, using the hot tub so we had a lot of wet gear, I did ask for more towels as we were struggling to dry ...

I knew there was no washing machine but there is no washing facilities on site so we had to had wash all our wet gear and towels, radiators had to be put on to dry everything which were not great, bear in mind we were walking in the rain, swimming/kayaking, using the hot tub so we had a lot of wet gear, I did ask for more towels as we were struggling to dry stuff and the gent did give us a couple more and an airer but it didn't help much. We tried to keep the property clean with having a dog but the hoover provided was fit for nothing we had to use the hand brush and pan to sweep every day, btw the cleaners are obviously not sweeping under the chairs as we swept more than a couple of weeks mess! Location: this was perfect for a base and the setting was beautiful Privacy: be aware that if you have a hot tub (we didn't book for the hot tub it was a bit if a bonus) don't expect privacy, we were on an end property of three (Cottage 3) with hot tubs and people came in with no notice to check hot tubs twice a day using our gate to access all three, there is no privacy fence next to the lane overlooking and run down shed and building mess dumped in the lane next to the property, we had a dog walker come have a good look at us in the tub, people just coming down the lane to look around, on one of the nights we had kids (not staying on site) climbing the wall directly behind our cottage to fish, we WhatsApp'd the management team, they called us but there were no staff on site to deal with them, so we had to tell them to leave ourselves, my husband had to go on site to make sure they had left! no follow up from staff the next day. All in all we didn't feel welcomed at Low Briory more a hindrance, there's lots of rules and regs at this place and little help

Low Briery Holiday Village

Low Briery Holiday Village is a fabulous holiday park settled in an enviable riverside location in the popular town of Keswick, Cumbria. Set beside the gentle flow of the River Greta, which later feeds into Derwentwater, the park enjoys a peaceful countryside setting where guests can slow the pace of life, cast a line for fishing, uncover quiet swimming spots or simply sit by the water listening to the soothing sound of the river. Benefitting from off-road parking, a particularly sought-after feature in this popular Lake District town, pet-friendly accommodation and a picturesque setting within the Lake District National Park, Low Briery Holiday Village boasts a combination of lodges, apartments, cottages and cabins, perfect for families, friends and couples who are seeking to get away from it all.

Each of the properties also offer their own private outdoor space so you can enjoy the unspoilt countryside views as you bask in the sunshine on a warm summer’s day. At the heart of the holiday park, an on-site reception and friendly, welcoming staff help create a relaxed and well-run base for your stay. Guests can also enjoy shared facilities including a café with a small shop showcasing local Cumbrian produce, while the same building provides a safe indoor children’s play area where younger guests can let off steam, along with a games room inviting friendly competition over a game of pool or table football.

From your doorstep, step straight onto the beautifully maintained Threlkeld Railway Path, offering rare, walkable access into Keswick, just a leisurely stroll away. Following the banks of the River Greta, this scenic route not only leads directly into town but also provides immediate access to the surrounding fells, making it ideal for walkers, cyclists and outdoor enthusiasts alike. You can also venture to the nearby Castlerigg Stone Circle or explore the wider network of fell walks rising above the town, with on-site bike hire available for relaxed afternoon rides through the countryside or along the riverside trail. Make your way into Keswick, where you can wander the vibrant Keswick Market at weekends, browsing local produce and crafts, discover Keswick Museum, the Derwent Pencil Museum and Puzzling Place, or settle into a seat at the Alhambra Cinema for an evening showing. Head down to Derwentwater to launch a kayak, try paddleboarding or enjoy a lakeside stroll, before rounding off the day in one of the town’s many welcoming pubs. Keswick is also home to the renowned Theatre by the Lake, widely regarded as one of the most beautifully situated theatres in the world, offering an unforgettable cultural experience beside the water. Further afield, discover Ashness Bridge, Lodore Falls and Surprise View, offering breath-taking viewpoints across the lakes and fells, or take on the much-loved Catbells route for panoramic views over Derwentwater and beyond.

Well-positioned to also spend the day in Ullswater, Ambleside, Grasmere or even Bowness-on-Windermere, you’ll have plenty to see and do. With its riverside countryside setting, direct access to walking and cycling routes, and the rare bonus of being able to stroll into one of the Lake District’s most vibrant towns, Low Briery Holiday Village offers the best of both worlds.

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £350.
