“The house was in a great location walking distance for the town, parking was difficult as was very busy but managed to get in front of the house when someone moved .”

Stayed with friends so was great to have space to catch up and having 3 bathrooms was ideal. Everything you need in the house.

“Stanegarth in Keswick is a wonder of a place!”

The house has been so tastefully and cleverly renovated, to get maximum use from the gorgeous three floor space. It is beautifully decorated throughout and feels like a cosy home-from-home. The kitchen is very well equipped, and we were able to cook properly and well with all things provided. A great washing machine and dishwasher too – very good cleans form both! The living/dining room is extremely cosy and practical with good lighting. Having an open fire makes all the difference to a holiday in the autumn or winter, and was one of the main reasons that we chose the house – the fireplace is a lovely size, and we were able to get a few roaring fires going. They added a great sense of atmosphere to our stay! The bath and showers had great water pressure and always plenty of hot water, even with 5 of us staying! Super comfy beds topped everything off! The location is just perfect, a quieter side of Keswick but short walk to the centre! Such a wonderfully genuine and professional welcome, with a lovely selection of local goodies. Very thoughtful! We immediately felt relaxed and at home, and excited to be there. We would highly recommend this place, and hope to be back! Well done Stanegarth, five stars!

“Stayed August Bank holiday week 2023.”

The house is inviting and comfortable. Good size lounge and dining area with well stocked kitchen. Small rear yard area that gets sun in the afternoon evening, with table and to relax. 3 good sized bedrooms with comfortable beds. 3 bathrooms. Nice cinema room on 2nd floor and watched a couple of movies. House was clean throughout which was good. Would be happy to return.

- Victor, August 2023

Thanks for your comments. It's great to hear you had a good stay and enjoyed some sun in the evening - we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Regards, Hayley & Kevin Property Owner
Paul July 2023

“Great property in a fantastic location.”

The house is really spacious and comfortable. The top floor snug is such a well thought out idea and a lovely little treat. The house was clean and tidy, plenty of books and games to keep us occupied. The kitchen is clean, modern and well stocked with everything you need. Nice touch in leaving some tea and biscuits, and Kendal mint cake which kept us going whilst out on the fells. I would love to stay here again.

- Paul, July 2023

Thanks for your comments. We're glad you enjoyed your stay and the TV room - we love relaxing on the sofa in there. We look forward to welcoming you again soon. Regards Hayley & Kevin Property Owner

“Property was excellent.”

Well decorated, modernised, and equipped. Fans were provided in all rooms which was a real bonus given the weather. Location was perfect 5-10 minutes walk to lakeside, riverside parks, and town centre. Specially enjoyed the square orange restaurant and the crafty bar, but all of the pubs/cafes were really welcoming and dog friendly. Few minor niggles.. Car parking was NOT as easy as suggested, and took 3 attempts until moved to outside property, as all surrounding streets were rammed. So we didnt move the car once parked outside, and someone keyed the side of the car at some point. Bolt on back yard was not secure, and blew open at some point. Not good if pet or child left unattended for a while Rubbish bins were all full on arrival, and only general waste was emptied during the week, so unable to recycle and again had to leave all bins full for next guests. Looked same for all properties on street. Obvs council and not owner issue. The guide to the property folder was a little tired and disorganised. Would have liked a guest book as would have liked to put some nice words in about how much we enjoyed our stay, and the property itself, and also to read other reviews and any tips Feel free to publish without 'niggles'

- Graham, June 2023

Thanks for your feedback and great to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the fans useful. Unfortunately there has been industrial action impacting some of the refuse collections recently, but hopefully this will be back to normal shortly. We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Regards Hayley and Kevin Property Owner
Ashley April 2023

“Second time at this property and i feel it is needing a bit of a freshen up.”

On arrival the front door area full of weeds and dirt, the coir mat needs replacing and door cleaned. Not a great first impression. Paint work inside needs redoing in places. Back door dirt and dust at the carpet area. Corn kernels stuck to the filter in dishwasher. Crumbs inside cupboard to left of fridge. The fridge shelf on the door is broken in 2 places and didnt feel could safely put milk there. Fridge door didnt seem to shut with a tight seal. The house is spacious and plenty parking right outside. Central location. Comfy beds. It is a lovely house but just feel some things are being overlooked by cleaners and owners should perhaps look at sprucing it up here and there.

- Ashley, April 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave us feedback further to your stay with us a Stanegarth, although I was disapointed to read that there were some issues for cleanliness at the property. Had we been made aware of this during your stay we would have reported this to the property manager and they would have reattended to make good for you. Your feedback has been passed on to the property management company to ensure that these niggles are resolved. We very much hope to welcome you again in the future. Property Owner

“Fantastic location in Keswick.”

Very busy as it was New Year but managed to park 2 cars very close to the property. Lovely house and amenities. Would not hesitate to stay again if staying in Keswick.

- Catherine, December 2022
Gillian September 2022

“Excellent house with everything of a high standard .”

Everything you needed and more. We had a lovely week . It is in a great location and easy to park even with 3 cars we had. We will definitely be booking for next year.

- Gillian, September 2022

Thanks for your feedback, and we look forward to welcoming you back next year. Hayley & Kevin. Property Owner
Paul August 2022

“Another wonderful week in a lovely Keswick cottage.”

Suggest modifying the first floor en suite door to open outwards as the space gained would be really beneficial!

- Paul, August 2022
Sarah July 2022

“We really enjoyed our stay and the house was immaculate.”

It had everything we needed and was really well located being only a short walk into the town centre. The space and the fact there were three showers meant the stay with our three teenage daughters was well catered for.

- Sarah, July 2022

Thanks for your comments. It's great to hear this, as we really wanted all our guests at Stanegarth to feel like they had plenty of space to be comfortable and relax. Hayley & Kevin Property Owner
Mrs Whittle July 2022

“A wonderful place to stay, we were very pleased it was cool downstairs during the hottest summer temperature.”

- Mrs Whittle, July 2022

Thanks for your review. We're glad that you found the house comfortable, and hopefully the fans in each room were helpful on the warm nights too. Hayley & Kevin Property Owner
Elizabeth June 2022

“Fabulous place to stay and very short walk to Keswick town centre.”

The property was very well equipped and beautifully presented.

“Very spacious and comfortable.”

Great location only short walk into town. Modern house with everything you need for a perfect stay.

- Shauna, May 2022

Thanks for your kind comments. We love the traditional look of the house combined with the modern comforts. The fibre optic internet is a great addition this year too :) Hayley & Kevin Property Owner
Gemma March 2022

Amy February 2022

“The property was beautiful and facilities fantastic.”

Location is perfect and we will love to return! The bathrooms all have very powerful showers and there was everything you could need in the house. On road parking is easy around the area and beds very comfy! Unfortunately a couple of sour notes that tarnished the start and end to the holiday that I would like to note. On arrival the cot was nowhere to be found even though it was requested beforehand. We had a long journey and I had to read the house guide to find the cot and build it with a very tired baby. The high chair which was also requested was filthy and had to be thoroughly cleaned before it could be used. As stated in your guide the twin beds would be made as a king unless otherwise requested. These were left as two singles so had to be pushed together and used like this without the proper bedding for the week. On departure we spent time and care making sure all beds were stripped, washed up and emptied all bins etc as requested. With a baby and dog it takes time and at exactly 10am your cleaner barged through the front door with no introduction and was extremely rude. She left the front door and lounge door wide open and when asked if she could close it so we could safely take our dog out to the car on a lead, she replied she was too busy and was getting started. She then blocked the front door with her bags and made it very difficult to carry my baby out through the door. We asked her for 30 seconds to walk out with our last things and had a very rude comment in return. This left us feeling very sad at the end of our holiday and wished we hadn’t taken the due care to leave the house in an extremely neat and tidy condition. We will hope to return to Stanegarth for the beautiful conditions of the property but are disappointed with these points.

- Amy, February 2022

Thank you for your feedback. It is great that you liked Stanegarth and the facilities provided. We are disappointed to hear that you had issues during your stay and have reported these back to the management company. We do, however, hope to see you again soon. Hayley and Kevin. Property Owner
Louise February 2022

“Fabulous home , lovely and warm, spotlessly clean, extremely spacious.”

Beautifully decorated . Couldn’t fault this properly . A great location , a lovely stroll in to Keswick. Would certainly book again .

- Louise, February 2022

Thank you for your kind comments - we couldn't have asked for a better summary of why to stay at Stanegarth! We look forward to seeing you again soon. Hayley & Kevin Property Owner
Laura December 2021

Kitchen facilities were top notch! We had a very lovely Christmas here and needed nothing extra. Would love to return and highly recommend.

- Laura, December 2021

Thanks for your comments. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your Xmas break and hope to welcome you back again soon. Hayley & Kevin Property Owner
Debbie December 2021

“Absolutely fabulous place!”

Spotlessly clean, toasty warm on arrival, lovely bathroom with great shower, everything you need in the kitchen, beds VERY comfy. We loved it so much I instantly booked a week for next September.

Ashley October 2021

“This was a very well appointed property.”

Spacious. Quality fixtures and fittings. Loved the 2 lounges, the kids enjoyed the games upstairs and sat there at night. The duvets were very warm, could do with a lighter weight duvet but this is really nit picking. One kitchen blind fell down when we were there. Contacted Lakelovers who said would get someone out but I said just to leave it till the day we were leaving. Think the neighbours use the waste bin for themselves as was full a few days after it was emptied and the bags were not ours. This is in no way a criticism of the property, just more so you are aware. Close to town centre so handy for evening meals. Loads of walks from front door. Would absolutely come back to this property. We loved it.

- Ashley, October 2021
Katherine September 2021

“We have just returned from Stanegarth.”

We had a wonderful week in this property. It was lovely and clean, well equipped and the situation was great. It was plenty big enough for the 6 adults and 1 baby & dog in our group. There was plenty of hot water and heating if needed. Although there was no allocated parking, we had no trouble at all parking the 3 cars in our party. A great house that we would definitely stay in again. Note to owner or whoever: The 2 vacuum cleaners were not up to the job. We always like to hoover through during our holiday and on leaving but were left frustrated with the vacuums supplied. Our only complaint!

- Katherine, September 2021

Thanks for your comments - it's great to hear that you enjoyed your time at Stanegarth. Re the vacuum we have now added a new, top of the range Shark and demoted poor Henry to the cupboard as a back up! We look forward to welcoming you back again soon. Property Owner
Nigel September 2021

“The House was a beautiful well appointed house with all the amenities needed.”

Very comfortable and a real home from home . Outstanding

- Nigel, September 2021

Thank you for your kind comments. We wanted Stanegarth to feel warm and welcoming whilst guests enjoyed everything that Keswick has to offer, so it's great to hear your feedback. Hayley & Kevin Property Owner
Mark September 2021

“Lovely. Clean.”

Central. Really enjoyed our stay at Stanegarth. The pictures that looked lovely were accurate! Very convenient. 5 minutes walk to centre of Keswick, and 2 mins walk to the Spar shop. Very clean. Lovely bath and shower rooms. TV room was a great bonus. Pricy but would definitely come again if we can still afford it. Points for improvement: 1. We would have appreciated an alternative to 13.5 tog duvets - great for winter but not a warm September. 2. The automatic bin lid was broken.

- Mark, September 2021

Thanks for your comments and we are really pleased that you enjoyed your stay. The bin has now been replaced with a manual one and we also have some fans in each bedroom for those warm Summer nights. Keswick is a beautiful place to stay all year round though, so how about looking at some of the great value off peak dates for your next stay at Stanegarth? Hayley & Kevin Property Owner
Paul August 2021

“The cottage was clean, tidy and well appointed.”

The TV/ games room was brilliant and gave us the opportunity to spread out in the evenings and undertake different activities. The hot water system requires tweaking in order to facilitate evening showers for six persons!! Parking in Keswick is always going to be difficult in peak season. We were only able to park outside the cottage on one occasion!

- Paul, August 2021

Thanks for your comments - we wanted guests to have plenty of space to enjoy their time at Stanegarth, so are glad to hear you are enjoying the TV room. Following your feedback, we have extended the timings on the hot water tank and these can be also easily boosted using the Nest thermostat if necessary during peak times. We look forward to welcoming you back again for your stay next year. Hayley & Kevin Property Owner
Andrew August 2021

“There are 4 x Sonos speakers throughout the property which you can easily connect to and play your music through - that was a nice.”

Also there was a small hamper left and flowers arrived the day after we arrived -

- Andrew, August 2021

Thanks for your feedback. We wanted to add some modern tech and extra luxuries to Stanegarth, so it's lovely to hear these are being used by guests. Hayley & Kevin Property Owner
