“Property was nicely presented although not very clean.”

Examples include layers of dusk on the bathroom edges around the walls with tissue litter and dog hairs down the sides of the sofa and grubby rug. The vacuum cleaner under the stairs was out of charge ncluding the spare battery, which wasn't charging up, so had to be moved to a different plug to charge and use, its a small thing but would have been useful to use as the floor was dirty when we arrived. Outdoor space was clearly listed as shared access with the rear houses, however we were rudely ...

Outdoor space was clearly listed as shared access with the rear houses, however we were rudely reminded by the woman from no 2 midway through the week when we sat outside on the table and chairs that they used the route frequently and we must keep it clear at all times..we were and we had done exactly that? Otherwise the stay was pleasant and in a good location.

Hi Chris, thank you for sharing your review. We are truly sorry to hear that the cottage was not clean. We pride ourselves on providing the best standard of accommodation and service to our guests. We have to admit we have had a very recent issue with our cleaner which has now been resolved. We deliberately provide our contact details in the welcome pack and if we had been notified we would have sorted this out for you (this has occurred once previously in the last 5 years and we responded immediately.) Similarly the response from our neighbours is unusual and we will speak with them (maybe they were having a bad day). We hope we get the opportunity to welcome you back and you are able to enjoy the experience the majority of our guests have shared in their reviews when they stay with us. Property Owner

“Little Leveret Cottage was superb and cannot recommend it high enough.”

We will certainly look to see if we can book again, next time we book in Keswick. However I did have a bad experience with the Sykes staff when making the booking, so really not sure I want to use Sykes again - sorry.

- Colin, May 2023

Hi Colin, thank you for your review and you enjoyed the cottage. We share your disappointment in hearing that Sykes did not provide the same level of service that we provide to guests who book direct with us. Please reach out to us directly if you are able to provide more details. I hope we get the opportunity to welcome you back to Little Leveret Cottage next time you book to stay in Keswick.

“We had the most wonderful stay in Little Leveret Cottage, it was spotlessly clean, warm and had everything you could possibly think of available to use.”

My parents had originally planned to come with us for the week and stay in the cottage but a last minute change meant they were unable to, however, I think this probably worked in their favour as mum has limited mobility and uses a stick to walk, she would most definitely be unable to get up the narrow spiral stairs up to the bedrooms. These were a challenge after a long day walking in the fells, but the comfort of the bed and the beautifully decorated rooms made the climb worth it :) Will most definitely recommend and will return to this beautiful little cottage just 5 mins easy walk from Keswick town centre.

“Little leveret cottage was lovely.”

Wonderfully equipped and very clean. Beds were so comfortable. Loads of drawer and wardrobe space and the showers were perfect. Close to fitz park which was great for my 17 year old dog. Close to Keswick town centre but the cottage was in a very quiet area. Would highly recommend.

“The cottage is well presented and all effort has been rewarded by the owners.”

All clean and tidy, provided with every item you would need, Internet very good as well. Location is close to all ammeneties for the Keswick high street and the parks, 5 to 10 mins gets you into the heart of it. Very quiet cottage even for the Easter period, parking can be an issue at the very busy times, you just have to be patient and crawl the streets. But any other time is no problem.

“This cottage is beautiful, it is filled with high quality furnishings and fittings , comfortable beds which you dont want to get out of , everything you could possibly want in the kitchen and more.”

The only downside was the lack of parking and the very narrow steps at the top of the staircase but theres nothing can be done about that. Very convenient for the town centre and all the amenities. Great place to stay.

The shores of Derwentwater are just ten minutes' walk away and there is a fantastic selection of walks to choose from including gentle walks along the lake shore, walks to popular Ashness Bridge and Surprise view or the nearby Castlerigg Stone Circle or those seeking out the high fells will head to the summit of Latrigg and Skiddaw that dominate the towns skyline and mountain bikers will enjoy the award winning Altura Trails in Whinlatter Forest == Accommodation in detail Little Leveret is located in a quite side road in the Victorian part of Keswick close to the Market Square and Fitz Park. The front door opens to a small porch before you step inside the welcoming living room. Furnished to the highest standard the comfortable sofa and relaxing armchairs are arranged around a cosy log burning stove and the TV. Original and commissioned artwork adorn the room, a feature being the imposing image above the fire that catches everyone's eye; one of the Queen's Highland Cattle from her estate at Balmoral! To the corner of the room the family dining table is just the place to plan your day over breakfast or to relax and socialise in the evening over dinner with friends. To the rear of the cottage there is a lovely, bright, kitchen with shaker style cabinets, quality appliances and well equipped with everything you could need from preparing breakfast to having a Masterchef moment, complete with electric hob and double oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, washer drier, Tassimo coffee machine, blender and food mixer. The bedrooms are on the first and the second floor and care should be taken on the narrow staircase, which some guests may find a little steep. The bedroom on the first floor is a beautiful dual aspect room with a welcoming and comfortable double bed and across the landing there is a smart family shower room with walk in shower, basin and WC. Continue up to the second floor and the owners have created a superb bedroom suite with king size bed (this can be made up as a twin beds if you prefer please specify when booking) and superb ensuite with compact bath with shower over, basin and WC. To the side of the property there is a courtyard patio which is a real sun trap and offers the outdoor option when it comes to morning coffe or evening drinks. With the archway to the rear courtyard the owners have added secure cycle brackets for guests to use to store mountain bikes and there is space also for a couple of canoes. Please note- Our neighbours at the back have a right of way to access their property through our patio and gate. They both run guest houses and are very happy to chat to visitors. They have a collie dog which is always on the lead when it comes through. They will announce themselves if your dog is loose as the collie is not always sure around other dogs. Location Keswick is one of the Lake District's most popular destinations. This friendly town hosts the very popular twice weekly market that has recently won the coveted Best Outdoor Market in the Great British Market Awards. The village also offers a fantastic array of shops offering everything from craft bakeries and local produce, antiques, crafts and much, much more. If you are looking for somewhere to eat and drink, a week just won't be long enough to sample the great range of pubs, restaurants, bistros, cafes and wine bars! For a great evening out why not visit the 100 year old Alhambra offering first class cinema entertainment in traditional surroundings or enjoy an evening at the most beautiful and friendly theatre in Britain, the 400 seat Theatre By The Lake on the shores of Derwentwater. Enjoy a cruise on Derwentwater, walk onto the fells; Cat Bells, Skiddaw, Coledale Horeshoe and Blencathra are all nearby, head underground at Honister Slate Mines, enjoy mountain biking in Whinlatter Forest. For day trips throughout the Lake District, Ullswater is a short drive away offering lake cruises, great walking and the beautiful Aira Force Waterfall, Buttermere and Crummock Water offer sublime scenery. Ashness Bridge and Surprise View situated above the Borrowdale Valley should not be missed and perhaps even a cup of tea and homemade cake in the unspoilt village of Watendlath.
