“My wife & I had a delightful week in this excellent accomodation.”

The property is very well presented, & contains 2 very comfortable beds, a high spec kitchen, & a restful lounge, as well as a very nice shower room/toilet. It is superbly situated with very easy access to the town centre, whilst remaining relatively undisturbed by the tourist traffic, & a short wander across to Fitz park. We have loved being here, & heartily recommend it to all.

“Really lovely property central to Keswick.”

Just what we needed. Easy to keep clean as we had a furry friend with us. Owner was very friendly and contactable if needed but in no way intrusive. Added bonus of a parking space. Will definitely return.

“Great cottage, perfectly placed for town and hills.”

Large, private secure garden ideal for our two dogs. Parking space for the car next to the garden entrance....perfect. Standard of fitting and decor of the highest. Owner very kind and helpful. Not the cheapest but great value. You won't regret booking here.

“This is a fabulous cottage in a great location, especially with dogs… being across from the park and an enclosed garden is just perfect!”

Decorated beautifully, amazingly comfortable beds and good facilities, we will be booking again! It would be amazing if there was a washer / dryer though, particularly when walking lots!

“This is our second stay at Pippin Cottage and again we had a lolvey holiday.”

The cottage is the perfect location for everything especially the park across the road for our cockerpoo Molly.My only criticism was the bike shed as last year we realised we could bring our bikes only for it to be full of stuff when we got there so we were unable to use it ,apart from that it was perfect.

“We had a lovely week, and Pippin cottage was perfect for us- our dog is called Pippin too, and we all felt very much at home.”

It was ideal being so close to the park, and only a few minutes from the centre of town. The cottage facilities were excellent and we will definitely be back.

“Pippin Cottage is a gem of a find.”

It a beautiful, well kept, very comfortable cottage, many positives for this cottage absolutely no negatives can be said about our stay. It is extremely tastefully decorated and has everything you would possible need. It is in an ideal position opposite a lovely park which has such a lot of amenities, excellent for any furry friends you have accompanying you on holiday. Your a 5 minutes walk from the centre of Keswick to all shops, restaurants, cafes, pubs and much more. The lake and outside theatre was only 10 minutes walk. Would definitely stay again.

“We loved our stay in Pippin Cottage.”

The cottage was tastefully decorated and it felt like it was loved and cared for. It was very clean and it was great to find the cupboards stocked with helpful items like clingfilm and kitchen foil for picnics. The location was ideal, across the road from the beautiful Fitz Park and a couple of minutes' walk into town. Keswick itself is an amazing place with so much to do from the cottage doorstop. We never used the car during our week. I would highly recommend Pippin Cottage and we'd definitely return.

- Julie, April 2022

“We love Pippin Cottage and this is our third time staying.”

It’s so homely and has everything you need. Ideally situated for everything you want to do. We would highly recommend this property to anyone. Thank you.

Robert July 2021

“Great cottage in a great location.”

Fantastic furnishings and everything you could possibly need. Great shower that works as good as it looks - that's rare in Keswick! As is having your own private parking, although when other cars parked nearby, maneuvering in and out can be a bit tricky, but not impossible. Lovely host too, there if needed, but not imposing.

- Robert, July 2021
Christine June 2021

“A lovely cottage in an excellent location.”

Unfortunately we found the chairs in the lounge to be very uncomfortable, especially the sofa. The outside patio area was very untidy with leaves and weeds everywhere, and we could not eat outside as the patio table was very dirty. Although we love the area we will not return to this cottage as the prices have rocketed for 2022!

- Christine, June 2021
Brian May 2021

“Pippin Cottage is in a great location, the cottage is clean and well kept.”

We had a very enjoyable stay but we did find the sofa and chairs uncomfortable but that is probably personal preference. A great place to stay especially if you have a dog has the park is opposite the cottage and our dog loved it. Pippin Cottage is a credit to its owner.

- Brian, May 2021
Mrs Griffiths Aug 2019

“Beautiful well equipped cottage which exceeded all our expectations.”

A great location, really close to Keswick town for all the shops and restaurants. Being across the road from Fitz Park was a real bonus too for our cockapoo, every trip into town had to start with a walk through the park!!

- Mrs Griffiths, Aug 2019
S Frame Jul 2019

“The cottage is in a great location, a beautiful property that is dog friendly.”

There are good walks nearby like Catbells. The bed was very comfy!

- Mrs Palmer, May 2019
Mrs Chambers Apr 2019

“The house was tastefully decorated with top of the range appliances.”

The bed was very comfortable with high quality bedding. A short walk from the park and the shops and importantly for us it was dog friendly.

- Mrs Chambers, Apr 2019
Mrs Punton Nov -0001

“The location was perfect for us - across from the park, close to the town and walking distance from the lake.”

We were so happy with this cottage, it was really well equipped and we had a great holiday. We've stayed in a lot of Lakelovers properties, but this is definitely the best we've been in.

Mr Bushell Nov -0001
