“Fantastic time at Sunnybank Cottage which was perfect for us.”

2 en suite bedrooms and downstairs toilet a real bonus. Everything very clean and tidy, well equipped and had been decorated for Christmas which was lovely. Location is terrific, extremely handy for all Keswick has to offer whilst being very quiet and peaceful. Very good outside space too if visiting in summertime and parking directly outside the cottage another plus. We definitely hope to return.

Renee June 2023

“Toilet in double bedroom was really dirty under the rim, sealant around showers needs better cleaning and the squeegee for showers are fit for the bin.”

I and my sister have mobility problem and require to hold onto bannister. The first 3 steps at the bottom of the stairs needs a bannister. Smart tv but is not set up to use iPlayer ie free apps not Netflix or Amazon. Re mobility it would be worth while noting that The Seams is on a slope and some people might find it a bit of a struggle walking up the road. I realise the first comments are negative We did enjoy our stay . The accommodation was comfortable.The garden was great .

- Renee, June 2023

Hello Renee. Thanks for providing feedback on the cottage. We are very sorry about the cleaning issue with the toilet and that we did not meet our exacting standards of cleanliness on this occasion. We will investigate this with our cleaners. We will also check the sealant in the shower. I have also purchased some new shower squeegee's for both en-suites. We will also check the issue with the Smart TV and update our information to advise guests they need to use their own accounts for the free apps and also paid services. I am pleased overall that you had a good stay. Paula Property Owner
Amanda May 2023

“We had a lovely, comfortable stay at Sunnybank Cottage.”

Everything you need for a break in the Lakes - parking, a place for walking gear, deceptively spacious with plenty of hanging space and cupboards, lovely views from the windows (got some brilliant sunsets) and a great view in the kitchen diner too!

- Amanda, May 2023

Thanks for your feedback Amanda. I love being able to look out of the front window at Skiddaw and then walk to the back to see Catbells, and then out the side window to look towards Whinlatter!! (and the view in the kitchen/diner is the best!! (one of our guests from Woolstore let us have that photo to use)). Property Owner
Christina May 2023

“We have stayed at sunnybank before and it's like a home from home, amazing location good to have parking and the house is really well kitted out.”

The decor is lovely it has everything you need, nice to have a little garden and outdoor seating. A lovely quiet street we slept very well. Note for the owner We just found the front door very hard to unlock the key is very stiff in the lock so a little lubricant in the key lock would solve that problem. Also it would be handy to have a few hooks for example on the back of the bathroom door to hang things like a dressing gown. Finally a few more pegs to hang out washing would be super handy.

- Christina, May 2023

Hello Christina. Thanks for letting us know about the door, all fixed. Peg purchased and we will sort some hooks. Thanks for taking the time to send feedback, appreciated. Paula Property Owner

Beautiful!

Thanks Carol! Paula Property Owner
Katy December 2022

“This property is possibly the best we have ever stayed in, and we've stayed in a lot over the last 15 years!”

It had everything we needed, including parking (a godsend in Keswick), underfloor heating, a sunny back garden with bike store, lovely views from upstairs, comfy beds, 2 ensuites with amazing showers, WiFi etc. It was just perfect. Being there for New Years Eve around the Moot Hall was extra special. The proximity to the shops, restaurants and lake was great, and still quiet, with it being on a small one-way back street. We would love to go back if they can fit us in!

- Katy, December 2022

Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback and comments, and for contacting us directly too which was very kind. You are right, the cottage is very popular and with only 9 weeks left this year, then yes another stay need careful planning!! Paula Property Owner

Pam September 2022

“A really comfortable, homely and cosy place to stay.”

We instantly felt we were ‘home’ and enjoyed our weeks stay. Perfectly placed for proximity to Keswick town but with easy access to all our favourite photographic places. Thank you.

- Pam, September 2022

And thank you Pam for your lovely comments. Paula and Andy. Property Owner
Anthony September 2022

“A lovely well maintained & equipped cottage that is close to all amenities.”

We booked this cottage again before we had our first visit as we were confident that it would meet all our expectations. We look forward to our visit next March. Thanks for a lovely week.

- Anthony, September 2022

Thanks Anthony, we look forward to welcoming you back in 2023!. Paula and Andy. Property Owner
Jane May 2022

“We had such a fabulous stay at Sunnybank, it's location in Keswick is fantastic and we hardly moved the car all week.”

The cottage is well equipment and comfortable. The views from the bedroom windows are well worth the stay. We will defiantly return.

- Jane, May 2022

Hello Jane. Thanks for your great feedback. The views are just lovely. (And if you can't see Catbells or Skiddaw, well then it's not a day for walking the higher fells!!) Property Owner
Louis April 2022

“Great cottage, well situated, well equipped, good cleaning, in town but very quiet.”

We greatly appreciated the email with a personal touch from the owners.

- Louis, April 2022

Marian April 2022

“Sunnybank is a lovely cottage in a great location.”

It is very modern inside with all the facilities that you would need for a weeks holiday. it was spotlessly clean and the showers in both en-suite bathrooms were easy to operate with really good pressure. We had a really comfortable stay and would not hesitate to return.

- Marian, April 2022

Hello Marian. Thanks for your great feedback. Really appreciated. Paula Property Owner
Linda March 2022

“Fabulous cottage in a superb location!”

Loved the views from upstairs windows and the availability of so many walks, pubs and restaurants within a couple of minutes walk from the front door, yet still in a quiet area. High spec facilities, 2 en-suites and a downstairs loo for ultimate comfort. Just missed a butter dish and a biscuit / cake box!

- Linda, March 2022

Hello Linda. Thanks for your kind comments. I just saw a lovely cake tin in Sainsburys the other day (Easter themed but very cute!). I will purchase and take over next week. Regards. Paula Property Owner
Janice March 2022

“Sunnybank Cottage is a home from home.”

It's comfortable, immaculate and ideally situated. The owners went above and beyond when a problem arose and couldn't have been more helpful and welcoming.

- Janice, March 2022

Hi Jan. It was nice to be able to call and meet you on the Saturday (socially distanced of course!), and then again when we had to sort the issue out at the cottage. I am glad that everything was resolved quickly and my, did you have some fantastic weather during your stay! Paula x Property Owner
Christina February 2022

Darren February 2022

“We couldn't fault our time at Sunnybank.”

The location was great, 2 minutes from the centre of Keswick. The property was spotless and very well presented. The owners have obviously put a lot of thought and effort into furnishing the cottage. The underfloor heating meant the cottage was lovely and warm when we arrived back from a day out walking. Everything needed was provided, plus some welcome extras such as coffee capsules and the use of OS maps. We have already said we will return soon.

- Darren, February 2022

Glad you had a good stay at Sunnybank Cottage. Thank you for your kind comments. Paula Property Owner
Michael February 2022

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

The property is lovely and very well located for all of the amenities. We didn’t use our car a lot at all! The property has been finished to a very good standard and we enjoyed having a tv in our room! The only downside was that the property was very cold for the first 24 hours but this was very quickly resolved by the owners. Also we found that when we arrived the floor in the kitchen and lounge wasn’t particularly clean but everywhere else was. We would definitely stay again!

- Michael, February 2022

Hello Michael, nice to speak to you during your stay and pleased we got the heating sorted for you. Apologies for the floor, we had contractors in to fix a leak and we should have checked the floor cleaning afterwards! Property Owner
Mary November 2021

“The property was extremely comfortable.”

Beautiful views from the bedrooms and everything that the description promised. Just a note to let you know that the information sent regarding linen would have been useful to receive before leaving home as I do not take take technical equipment on my holiday. As it happens I always strip the bed before leaving, but on this occasion the single beds were not. Your email was not recieved until this morning Regards Mary Harris

- Mary, November 2021

Hello Mary. Thanks for your feedback. I will try and find out why the information was not sent to you sooner by LL. My apologies for that. Property Owner
John November 2021

“A really lovely cottage in a very quiet & central location.”

One area of concern - it would be much safer to have thumb turn door locks on all external doors!

- John, November 2021

Thanks for your feedback John, which we will consider. Property Owner
Andy October 2021

“Had a fantastic stay.”

The house is in a great location, but is quiet and private. Comfortable, well equipped and clean. We will be back next year.

- Andy, October 2021

Thanks for your feedback Andrew. Property Owner
Aileen October 2021

“We love sunnybank and have been twice the only thing we can suggest is more ...”

We love sunnybank and have been twice the only thing we can suggest is more ambient light in the lounge like couple of lamps if you want to read the light isn’t good but apart from that it’s beautifully presented very clean and everything you need and more

- Aileen, October 2021

Thanks for your response Aileen. Lamp purchased! Property Owner
Jane June 2021

“We’ve been happy and loyal Lakelovers clients for some years.”

We were a little worried about the merger with Sykes, as we’ve had poor reports of Sykes’ customer service from friends. Now that you are one entity, please take your learning from Lakelovers and continue with their great service etc, as you did for this holiday. Very pleased to see the Lakelovers branding still in place and to find the high standards which we have come to expect from Lakelovers still operating.

- Jane, June 2021
Lynne May 2021

“Fantastic base, didn’t use the car all week.”

Weather was amazing & allowed us to explore Keswick. Full of home comforts, a lovely home from home.

- Lynne, May 2021

Thanks for your feedback Lynne. Property Owner
Martin May 2021

“We have used Lakelovers for many years, all the properties we have used through them are excellent and their service is second to none.”

Sunnybank Cottage in Keswick is excellent, great location in the heart of Keswick, private parking (a real plus), very comfortable, well equipped and with a lovely out door area to soak up the late afternoon / evening sun. For those who want to explore the Lakeland fells the cottage places you at the heart of the Derwent fells, Borrowdale and Buttermere fells and Helvellyn range all within 15 to 45 minutes drive.

The town 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!

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.
