Squirrel Cottage

The owner was friendly and helpful,the what three words was helpful to get to the location.

We were supplied with the main essentials,the heating is under floor,which was the only minus for us as we were not used to the time it takes to adjust to a different temperature.Views were beautiful,if you want to escape from it all we recommend this cottage.

Squirrel Cottage was a haven, we enjoyed a very comfortable week here.

The cottage is really well appointed and we were able to cook some lovely meals in the kitchen. The board games were a lovely touch, although we had such fantastic weather we didn't have much time to play them! Thank you.

We had a wonderful holiday and thoroughly enjoyed the property.

The mountain views were stunning, the bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was excellent. That said, our experience would have been even more positive had there been a more generous provision of basic essentials such as washing tablets, washing-up liquid, and toilet paper. The limited supplies felt somewhat restrictive. We also found the process of attempting to reschedule our holiday through the company to be frustrating, as it was very difficult to speak directly with someone. However, once I was able to connect via WhatsApp, the representative was extremely helpful. Finally, we felt that the company’s communications placed considerable emphasis on leaving the property in a clean condition—which we fully respect and would naturally do—rather than focusing on ensuring guests have the best possible holiday experience.

Absolutely flawless.

A fantastic location with access to nature at our doorstep. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed.

We had a gorgeous stay at Squirrel Cottage, the weather was awful but from the minute we walked in Squirrel Cottage was cosy, warm, clean and comfortable.

Everything you could need is provided, the location is perfect, only a few minutes from Keswick and surrounded by beautiful views. We love this area and will most definitely be back to Squirrel Cottage.

The cottage is well positioned far enough to be quite and off the beaten track, but within a short drive of Keswick and sorrounding places to walk or cycle.

A short walk to the Gallery and cafe is recommended, where you find some stunning paintings of the locality and good refeshments. The view of Skidaw from the window was amazing, the entrance is a bit tight and needs care both entering and exiting the property. Any one booking this property will be satisfied with the location, the local bus stops just outside.

Well equipped cottage.

Lovely and warm! Comfortable and clean. Fantastic bathroom. Delightful views. Would definitely stay again.

There is only one word required for this review, "Perfect".

However, it is only fair to say more. The cottage is very well equipped for a comfortable stay. Modern, yet traditional. The location is perfect for all that the Lake District has to offer. The views of the Lake District hills from the windows of the cottage inspires one to get out and walk, no matter what the weather. There is even a bus stop across the road linking one to the north and south of the National Park. Thank you for a memorable week

Lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful location.

Everything provided for the stay. Very clean and tidy, just loved this cottage. Will return again.

The accomodation was clean and warm with all the comforts of home.

Lovely property in a ideal location to explore the northern fells, Keswick and further afield.

Bus stop just outside the cottage to either explore Cockermouth the coast or Keswick onto penrith etc, if you want to give the car a rest. Unfortunately thornthwaite only as a gallery/ cafe for pubs Braithwaite is only a mile away Unfortunately on arrival we found the property had not been property cleaned the ground floor needed to be swept and crumbs were all over the table and under the mats the key safe was actually still set to the door code! We contacted signature housekeeping who offered to send someone out to re clean the property but we'd done it already. We also reported a problem with the tv remote which amazon delivered a replacement the following day. Squirrel cottage is one of the best equipped cottages we've stayed with a very comfortable bed and great bathroom. It's lovely to sit infront of a roaring woodstove after a days exploring and easy parking compared to other cottages in the area. Only criticism would be that there wasn't much cleaning products provided and the washer was a bit noisy when spinning. We would not hesitate booking Squirrel cottage in the future

Very nice welcoming cottage.

Well laid out accommodation. Fabulous views and I was lucky with the sunshine. Bus stop at the door if you needed it. Regular service to Keswick. Bedroom and bathroom very comfortable. Would like to return soon.

The holiday property was of a high quality and very clean, parking spaces were ample.

Only downside is the fact that if you take a dog with you there is no safe space to let them out unattended which isn’t a big problem really just after be careful. I would use the cottage again and still take my dog. Only complaint I have is the fact that it’s almost impossible to talk to an agent from Skescottages about any issues prior to travelling to your destination. But other than that, everything else was pretty good.

This was possibly the best equipped holiday cottage we have ever stayed in.

Everything that you might have forgotten to bring was already there. We were very impressed. Beautifully clean and fresh, and with views to die for. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

The small but quaint cottage was perfect for us and our dog.

We booked the cottage for a mini moon following our wedding, and had a really lovely stay. The location was great for getting to places like Buttermere, Ullswater and more. We also climbed Skiddaw which we could see from the window. We'd definitely book again

We absolutely loved our stay, lovely cottage and brilliant location for our plans

Had a great time at squirrel cottage.

Location was perfect and views were incredible. The cottage was equipped with everything you could possibly need and was immaculate on arriving. Only issue we had was when we went to light the log burner and realised there was a bird trapped in flue, managed to get it out and free it but be aware to check before lighting the fire, left a note suggesting the owners check the top of chimney to make sure there is a grate to stop birds getting in. Doesn’t distract how much we enjoyed our time there. Will definitely recommend and return

Beautiful little cottage in a perfect location, will definitely be back at some point.

Wish the new owners all the best in their new venture. Thank you.
