“Beautiful property.”

Quiet and peaceful location. Hob light not working and needed to defrost the freezer upon arrival.

Andrew August 2024

“A fantastic apartment in a lovely building in a perfect location.”

Well placed for walks in the fells in the area, as well as for Keswick. Great facilities — very up to date and modern. And friendly/helpful owners when any problems might arise. All in all, 10/10!

Fantastic views from the grounds. Will definitely be back.

Carl March 2024

“A nice well appointed cozy place to spend a few days, Traffic is crazy over the Easter weekend, we walked to Keswick and used the Bus and/or Boat to go walking on a couple of days.”

We had no issues with the track in April driving a standard Ford Focus. It's in a complex of about 10 some apartments are holiday lets some are people's homes. To maintain good relations with the neighbours you need to park in slot 5 and enter the complex the "right way" (via the internal corridor between the flats out again to the rear courtyard and then to the cottage door). It's no big deal, the owner has provided copious instructions, and an explanation of why the track is not surfaced, inside the cottage. Unfortunately Sykes does not provide this before arrival. Emails simply say "The keys will be in a Key safe on the wall to the right of the door". We arrived in the dark and not noticing the private signs on the drive to the right went "the wrong way"

Great showers in both bathrooms. Would definitely stay there again.

Skye October 2023

“Absolutely loved it, felt like a home away from home!”

So clean and tidy, facilities were amazing and it had such a warm and cosy feel to it. Location is good, tucked away on a hill with amazing views of the mountains. Will definitely be staying here again!!

- Skye, October 2023

We're really delighted that you enjoyed your stay at Maple Cottage! Thank you so much for your review, lovely comments like yours make all our efforts worthwhile! We do try hard to provide the best level of facilities we can. We hope you visit Maple again in the future. Thanks again, Liz and Richard Property Owner
Ian October 2023

“This is an excellent holiday accommodation and base for exploring Keswick/the Northern Lakes.”

The bathrooms, kitchen etc. are great and it is clear from the documents the owners have gone to trouble to make a 'home from home' which our family appreciated. We feel sorry for the owners about the access track which we were aware of from previous reviews and the details in the cottage make clear they and neighbours have attempted to address. The length and unmade nature weren't an issue for us, but halfway down is a short stretch where wheel ruts are so severe it is almost impossible not to hit something with the underside of a normal saloon car - this should really go on the listing as it could be an issue for some visitors with lower-set cars for example. 4x4s/SUVs etc. should be fine and this is useful for those booking to know. In addition, it is worth noting that you need to cross through and out of a communal hallway from the parking spaces to get to the cottage - which may make for minor difficulty for some carrying bags and/or walking gear.

- Ian, October 2023
Sophie October 2023

“Lovely little place.”

Warm and cosy and really clean. The owner is great to communicate with too.

Deborah September 2023

“A little difficult to find, but once there it was fabulous.”

- Deborah, September 2023
Vivian September 2023

“Lovely property very well equipped with lots of space and finished to a very high standard.”

A real home from home. Great picnic area to sit and enjoy the views weather permitting. The track to the property is a little rough but I understand why nothing can be done with this. I would highly recommend this property and would return in the future.

- Vivian, September 2023

Thank you so much for your lovely comments, your feedback is important to us! We're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Maple Cottage, and we hope you return in the future. Best wishes, Liz and Richard Property Owner
Gary August 2023

“Excellent stay in this well equipped comfortable cottage.”

Loved the modern bathrooms and quiet grounds around the property with beautiful views on a sunny day. Great location from the centre of Keswick walkable on a nice day.

- Gary, August 2023

We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Maple Cottage, thank you for your great feedback! The comfort of our guests is important to us, and we strive to maintain the best standards. We hope to welcome you back in the future. Liz and Richard Property Owner

“Lovely clean, comfortable and well equipped apartment within half an hours walk from Keswick town centre.”

We really enjoyed our stay here.

- Frances, June 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed your stay with us at Maple Cottage. We appreciate your lovely comments about the property. We hope to welcome you again soon. The owner relations team - Lakes Cottage Holidays Property Owner
Rebecca June 2023

“Pleasant accommodation in lovely setting.”

Downfall is the rough track leading to it from the road and walking distance to Keswick. Information in the accommodation does outline apologies for the track condition and attempts to rectify unsuccessfully, this information (alongside walking distance to Keswick) could be advised in accommodation description/details so those booking can decide appropriateness for their needs before booking. 4 stars given due to the above. For proprietor reference there is a leaking gutter (witnessed during stay) above the living room window nearest to the front door and the property could do with a decent frying pan provision. 8/10 recommendation given for Lakes cottage holidays due to high booking fee and excessive fees to send on any items left behind accidentally. Postage and packing costs appropriate but £15 per item charge is deemed excessive. Leaking down pipe. Good spot.

- Rebecca, June 2023
Joan June 2023

“We had a fabulous three nights at Maple Cottage and loved every minute!”

Comfortable, well-equipped and beautifully presented. Beds very comfortable, although personally I would have appreciated softer pillows. A minor gripe - everything else was faultless, peaceful and close to Keswick. Lovely communal grounds with spectacular views. We hope to return!

- Joan, June 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback, we're so pleased you enjoyed your break at Maple Cottage! We take all guest coments into consideration. We hope to welcome you back in the future! Liz and Richard Property Owner
Alison L March 2023

“Excellent apartment with high quality fixtures & fittings.”

Warm and cosy with easily controlled heating. Recently installed bathrooms with great showers, well equipped kitchen. Having a dishwasher and washing machine was a bonus, as were two parking spaces. Suitable for anyone who has difficulty with steps, as it is all on one level. Access by an unmade road is the one drawback.

- Alison L, March 2023
Dimitar February 2023

“This is a lovely cottage, well equipped, comfortable, everything inside is relatively new, WiFi signal is good, it’s in a quiet location but close to shops, places to eat and main road links.”

We very much enjoyed our time there and would definitely consider staying again.

- Dimitar, February 2023
David January 2023

“Amazing cottage with high quality fixtures and fittings.”

Very clean and the best equipped place we have ever stayed at, soaps, coffee, jams, sandwich box, the list goes on. A short walk until the excellent Keswick to Threlkeld railway path which takes you close to Keswick centre. Wonderful views over Keswick and Whinlatter from the outside of the building. Unfortunately the unmade driveway from the road had suffered badly in the heavy rains so proceed carefully in such conditions as the owner of the track will not let it be surfaced.

- David, January 2023
Lawrence December 2022

“Lovely place to stay but be careful as you drive up the pot holed path”

- Lawrence, December 2022
Bernard November 2022

“Overall fantastic apartment with all that you could need with facilities and appliances.”

A very comfortable experience with fantastic views from the parking area. The only suggestion we could offer is better signage and lighting from approach on the untreated road which would of made it safer on dark nights. Bernie & Irene

- Bernard, November 2022
Peter July 2022

“Comfortable, clean and well appointed.”

Two small suggestions (not complaints) would be to add small glasses suitable for fruit juice and also a grab handle for the shower over the bath to make exiting easier. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Maple Cottage and would certainly consider returning in future years.

- Peter, July 2022
Ruth June 2022

“This is our fourth time here.”

Great accomodation -clean, well maintained and very comfortable. The table and chairs in the courtyard are a bonus as we could have our meals outside on sunny days.

- Ruth, June 2022

We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your fourth visit to Maple Cottage! We do make a big effort to keep the property up to date so we hope you enjoyed the new bathrooms. Thank you so much for your lovely feedback and hope you come back next year. Liz and Richard Property Owner
Diane June 2022

“There were inconsistencies between the pre visit information and the actual .”

Eg we were advised to bring tea towels, hand sanitiser and washing up cloths but these were provided. The toilet seat in the main bathroom is loose. There is no grab handle in either bathroom. The appliances were of excellent quality but over complicated. We had to ask next door neighbours for assistance with the TV. They said they had difficulty too. It would have been useful to know in advance that mobile signal is erratic. Having said all that, Maple Cottage is an excellent holiday retreat and our comments are well meant. Thank you.

- Diane, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback, we particularly liked your comments in our visitor book, praise indeed! We do take on board our guests' feedback and take action where possible. Just for information yes we do supply linens, towels and tea cloths for your stay. Thanks again Liz & Richard Property Owner

Karen September 2021

“The apartment was very homely and the owners had thought of everything to include to make their guests welcomed.”

Wonderfully comfortable beds, well appointed kitchen, washer dryer, nice showers, good parking, and great views from the front of the property. The location was good for us, with a 25 minute walk into Keswick, part of which can take you along the C2C disused rail walk (much nicer than walking in via the road). The property is also not far from the Castlerigg stone circle, a short up hill walk and then you can do another circular walk round and down into Keswick. We loved our stay. Theres loads to do in the area which is simply stunning.

- Karen, September 2021
Karel August 2021

“Comfortable and pleasant accommodation on the outskirts of Keswick, although too far to walk to the town centre.”

Apartment was clean and very well equipped, although the bedrooms were rather on the small side. Two main points which prevented me to give it higher rating: a) the apartment has no views other than the small courtyard, b) the access lane is in poor condition and is just on the borderline to be driveable. Apartment information note blames the land owner for refusing the permission to improve it. This I believe to be a copout on part of the house management, as the lorryload of aggregates would improve it substantially without any need for a planning permission.

- Karel, August 2021
Andrew May 2021

“Maple Cottage is a lovely property.”

Very well maintained and the kitchen contained everything one could need with extra crockery, glasses, mugs. The property is facing into a very pleasant courtyard. Once you leave the property, there are amazing views from the carpark and the property is surrounded by fields with sheep and lambs. As previous reviews have mentioned, the last part of the road leading up to the property is quite rough, and the owner explains in her brochure that this is beyond the control of the owners. There was a leaking downpipe that I reported to the owner. It was raining a lot during our stay so it was very noticeable, someone came out to fix it but it remained leaking. Nearby is Castlerigg Stone Circle which is well worth a visit. We had a wonderful stay at Maple Cottage and we would definitely return.

- Andrew, May 2021
Peter October 2020

“An excellent property, well equipped and very comfortable.”

However TV is restricted by Keswick local mast NOT providing a full service on all channels.ie channels 19 & 20 A satellite connection would be better. I could not use my O2 phone although their network coverage is supposed to be good and include that area around Keswick. EE did work on another phone.

Barbara September 2020

“I enjoyed the peace and quiet of the property as I was looking forward to a complete break from having to look after my elderly mother.”

I enjoyed my time at the cottage, pity that the covid19 situation should curtail our movements.

Patricia Caroline December 2019

“Lovely, comfortable flat.”

Very warm, very well equipped, lovely quiet location and quite spacious. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

“It made a difference that there were sharp knives and cleaning equipment”

- Jane, July 2019
Robert July 2019

“Our German friends of over thirty years shared apartment number 5 at Maple Cottage Keswick with us and like ourselves were very happy with the accommodation everything we required was available.”

We saw much of the area during our stay, a good point to travel out from, and our friends were very impressed with the stunning scenery, in fact he took over four hundred photographs! Two small improvements to the on suite, a toilet roll holder on the wall, and a flat surface close to the wash basin would be very convenient, not a complaint ! Thanks for a pleasant stay Mr & Mrs Robert Rolph.

- Robert, July 2019
Katherine April 2019

“The walk into town is about 30 minutes, but a lot of it is down the old railway track, which is very pleasant”

Jonathan March 2019

“Stayed here in mid-March when storm Gareth arrived.”

Jackie the Lakes cottages representative was very helpful in accommodating our change in arrival time due to the storm. She was also very helpful in resolving a couple of minor problems. My wife and I have stayed here in the summer during a heatwave when the apartment was nice and cool. This time when the outside temperature was 3C the apartment was nice and warm. It was easy to control the heating and hot water. There was also a convector heater in the main room. The apartment is very well equipped and well designed. Hooks on the back of the doors and suitcase stands would be very useful.

- Jonathan, March 2019
Frederick October 2018

“We all thought that the holiday cottage exceeded all our expectations, in the setting, the standard, the cleanliness, and that it's position nears Keswick was ideal for exploring the Lake District, and look forward to returning in the future.”

Gina September 2018

“The photograph on the website was of the front of a large old building suggesting the property was one of the apartments shown.”

However, the building has 4 wings built around a central enclosed courtyard. The apartment being let was not shown on the website and was in the wing to the right of the front of the building. The apartment has no views whatsoever, despite the website saying it does. The apartment itself was modern and well equipped but was damp, smelled like an old wet dog, had mould on the inside of the window frames, cobwebs in every room and the bath and shower plug holes were both blocked. Worst of all, the bed sheets were stained and appeared unwashed.

- Gina, September 2018

If you wish to discuss or elaborate more on the issues raised, please feel free to contact the Sykes office on the details below, quoting your booking reference number and any other information that may assist us in providing the best possible outcome and customer service.

James August 2018

“We had a lovely stay and would recommend.”

The hob and oven are electric and not gas as listed. There are only two car parking spaces and not three as listed. Neither of these mattered to us but would be good to correct on the listing. There was also a grumpy man who lived in one of the apartments or cottages who was trying to stop people accessing the courtyard from the rear even though it was an access route and the only alternative fire exit. He pulled a grit bin with a spade on top to try and stop people. He seems to have no right to do this as well as blocking a fire exit. This issue should be rectified.

- James, August 2018
Lynda May 2018

“The apartment was very comfortable however the double bed may require a new mattress soon and perhaps the towels.”

We were surprised to find there was only a view of the courtyard from the apartment and that the main photograph showed two totally different apartments which was misleading. Having said that the apartment was very quiet and we had a relaxing and enjoyable stay. I enjoyed the reclining settees after a long days walk and the apartment was the best equipped we have ever experienced. We would definitely stay again.

Situated in an elevated location within beautiful grounds where you can admire the amazing views of Keswick and the surrounding Lake District fells. Fieldside Grange is located on the outskirts of Keswick on the Castlerigg Stone Circle road accessed by its own private drive way lined with mature trees, shrubs and rhododendrons.

Built circa 1850, Fieldside Grange was once a farmhouse and has been sympathetically renovated and refurbished in recent years to provide four one bedroom and six two bedroom apartments whilst retaining its original slate and stone building.

Set in its own grounds of one and a half acres which offer magnificent views towards Keswick and Derwentwater, there is ample space to enjoy a picnic or for the kids to run around whilst still in sight of the building.

The apartments are all individually designed and are centrally heated The property benefits from the use of extensive shared grounds with stunning views over Keswick and the surrounding fells.
