1 Millbank

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS COTTAGE AND LOCATION WAS SPOT ON.

The cottage was warm and comfortable. The kitchen and cupboards were well stocked, and we did not want for anything. It is only a short walk into the town centre, which is full of pubs, cafés, and restaurants. We went to a different pub each night, with the exception of returning to the ‘Packhorse Inn’, which was clearly our favourite. Keswick sits on Derwent Water, surrounded by beautiful hills, some of which we climbed, Walla Crag and Cat Bells. We also travelled 5.5 miles to climb Helvellyn. We have stayed in Sykes cottages for the last 9 years, which were all very good; however, this is the only one which we said we would come back to at some point.

Very clean, well appointed property.

Very well equipped with everything you required. Great spot just 5 minutes walk from the centre of town, so everything within easy walking distance. The welcome card and bottle of wine was a very nice thought from the ownewsand much appreciated after the drive up the dreaded M6. We would certainly come back again and would recommend this property and company to others.

PERFECT 5☆ TOWN CENTRE POSITION WITH ONSITE PARKING, CLEAN, COMFY AND WELL EQUIPPED.

WE HOPE TO RETURN .

Thank you for allowing us to stay at your lovely cottage.

We had a great time and would love to return in the future.

We loved staying here.

It was just the right size for our family and so close to all the things we wanted to do. Lovely clean, comfy space. No negatives!

We had a great time at 1 Millbank.

Conveniently located with its own parking space. The beds were very comfortable, the house was lovely and clean and everything was as described. We would have rebooked for the following year but the week we wanted had already gone

A lovely property in a central location with the added bonus of parking.

This was our second stay here. We stayed for two weeks and although we were perfectly happy there were a couple of things to mention. We did not have a change of bed linen despite the heatwave the first week. Also there were lots of dusty cobwebs on the ceilings. When we arrived the freezer door had been left open so the floor was a little damp. Not major things but for the price it was a bit disappointing.Our previous stay last year was immaculate. Would definitely stay again though.

Cottage is in a great, central Keswick location, yet very peaceful.

Provided facilities and comfort were fantastic. Will definitely be a return user.

Perfect stay and practically in the centre of Keswick.

We had great weather so made use of the nice back garden area, but were also grateful of the heating on a night! Location was perfect, house was spotless, beds were comfortable, amazing little additional touches - board games, wainwright books etc. Would definitely stay here again and the parking space is 100% and added bonus.

Lovely, clean, warm, comfortable cottage with everything we needed.

It’s ideally situated in the centre of Keswick with private parking. We used the car on one day only and made use of the buses a convenient ten minute walk away. Booths supermarket is great for provisions, or there is a Co-op. Lots of eateries and coffee shops a few minutes walk into town. Walks from the door and beautiful views. What more could you ask for?

Fantastic property in a great location.

Everything that you would need for your stay. Added bonus of a generous sized car park space at the back of the property. Spotless, warm and cosy. Very comfy beds too. Loved it so much we have already booked to come in October.

One of the best cottages we've ever stayed in!

Beautifully presented and clean with everything we needed and more. It was nice and warm on arrival and the heating dial was easy to adjust and we slept really well as the bed was so comfortable. It has the benefit of being centrally located in town and being just slightly raised feels very open with some views and a lovely outside seating area. We were in one large car but the private parking area at the rear easily fits two and access was fine, we found it easiest to approach via Stranger Street. We look forward to returning.

Clean comfortable property in an ideal location for parks, shops and eateries.

This really is a fabulous property snd we hope to stay here again.

We were quite concerned when we received the joining instructions. These indicated difficult access via a steep hill and little lighting at night. To anyone else concerned, don't worry, it is nowhere as difficult as it reads. However, we did prefer using Stanger Street as access. We parked our car in the allocated space immediately behind the house and didn't need to use it until going home.The property is in a great location, very quiet area but so close to the town centre. We enjoyed the fabulous views and sat outside in the back garden until sunset. We found there was plenty of room inside for us - a couple. We closed the blinds and curtains and enjoyed warm cosy evenings inside. We appreciated the calm and restful decor, comfortable beds, and sofas. We found the kitchen well kitted out, quality utensils and appliances and the toaster is the same as we have at home. I have honestly never stayed in a property with as many electric sockets - so convenient. We loved staying here and would have no hesitation in recommending this property.

This is a well located property very close to the town centre.

It has some lovely views, a good shower and comfortable beds. It was clean but not spotless. Plenty of space for the 3 of us that stayed. A nice cottage but overall feels a bit sparse and lacking in comfort. The sofas are a bit too small to relax fully on. The tile floor in the living room is functional but the lack of a fire makes it feel quite cold in there especially when it’s raining! The towels were small and the toaster is not very good. A full length mirror and somewhere to do hair and makeup would have been nice. We wouldn’t stay again but it was fine and we enjoyed our week.

1 Millbank is the perfect accommodation for a family looking to explore Keswick and the surrounding area.

The whole place was clean and bright and the beds very comfortable. I would not hesitate to recommend staying here and I would book again myself.

Lovely property in excellent location with added bonus of private parking.

Plenty of internal space for our party of four, comfortable beds, clean throughout, excellent shower and good kitchen area. Enjoyed our stay here and would definitely look to rebook when we next return to Keswick.

An amazing property and ideal for us.

Located centrally in Keswick but really quiet with the added bonus of parking. Very comfortable and also with an outside garden for the good weather. Everything was high quality. Definitely would stay again. Could benefit from a vegetable peeler, cheese grater and a larger saucepan.

We can’t recommend this property highly enough!

The huge bonuses are the locality (almost in the town centre), and a large parking space behind the house. The views from all windows are superb. The open plan ground floor is spacious & everything you need is provided. The shower is powerful, the beds are very comfortable and my wife was happy that all rooms had wardrobes! We won’t hesitate to book again and have already recommended 1 Millbank to friends.

Great stay at 1 Millbank 04-11 May walked the Tops all week .

Great to relax after a long day bashing the hills. Back garden nice for relaxing facilities great . Would definately book again thanks Felicity

Clean and modern.

Very convenient for the town centre. We had a very comfortable stay.

We stayed at One Millbank from 13th-20th April and loved our stay there.

We have stayed in other properties and we felt this property by far surpassed them. The location was amazing with fantastic views from the windows front & back. The house is so close to the town center but far enough away to not hear any noise only bird song, it's also perfect for walking and forgetting about your car for the week. There is a designated parking space directly at the back of the property and the house is accessible via the rear gate which is great for loading & unloading. The property was clean and beautifully decorated and furnished throughout, it had a great TV and choice of channels and a good shower in main bathroom. We made a couple of suggestions on ways to improve the property and the comments were appreciated and are being fulfilled. There were only two of us staying here so the dining table was more than big enough for us to eat at one end and do a jigsaw at the other! This is a great house in a great location and would definitely recommend it to others.

Lovely cottage in a great location with everything we needed.

We liked the proximity of the house to the town centre.

It was very clean and freshly decorated. We would have preferred a bath. The double bed in the back bedroom seemed a little small. It was VERY squeaky and creaky. The synthetic bedding meant that we constantly woke up during the night, very hot and sweating. Poor quality kitchen utensils meant that we didn't cook as much as we would have liked e.g. knives not sharp, frying pan with non stick coating flaking off.

1 Millbank was one of the best cottages we've stayed in (and we have been visiting the Lakes for nearly 30 years).

It was clean and comfortable. Nice white fluffy towels, soft, warm beds. The heating was easy to notch up a bit when you came in cold and wet after a long walk. The shower was good too - walk in and hot and powerful enough to wash long hair (often a problem in the past). A dedicated parking spot behind the house was fantastic - being able to go out on a long walk e.g Haweswater, knowing that when you got back you could park up. Free WIFI too. The cottage was a brilliant base for either walking straight from the cottage over to Catbells or for longer day out. You are less than five minutes from the pubs, restaurants and shops and two minutes from Fitz Park. A lovely bottle of wine as a welcome gift. What more could you ask for? Thank you Felicity and Andrew - we would certainly book again.
