“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

“A really nice, homely base for exploring the fells and with the town centre nearby; couldn't have been better.”

Thanks for your comments, and we're really glad you enjoyed your stay. Hayley & Kevin Property Owner
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
