    “We had a lovely stay.”

    The location is fantastic we walked from the door most days. The local area is very beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Two good pubs in the village serving reasonably priced food. The cottage is very old and has loads of character. Some better quality antique furniture instead of the cheap modern furniture would really improve the aesthetic. The heating did not come on automatically and we had to turn it on and off when required which wasn't a problem. We were sad the wood burner was removed but ...

    The location is fantastic we walked from the door most days. The local area is very beautiful, quiet and peaceful. Two good pubs in the village serving reasonably priced food. The cottage is very old and has loads of character. Some better quality antique furniture instead of the cheap modern furniture would really improve the aesthetic. The heating did not come on automatically and we had to turn it on and off when required which wasn't a problem. We were sad the wood burner was removed but the replacement was convenient to use and heated the room quickly. The bathroom could benefit from a deep clean and the extractor in the shower is clogged with dust and a fire hazard. The cottage is really cosy and retains the heat and we found the duvet to be too warm. Maybe offer the option of a thinner one? The cottage sleeps four but there is only seating for three. I would be surprised if anyone used the table and chairs as there is no room to put it out. Replace the armchair with another sofa and get rid of the table. The bed was super comfy and the shower is surprisingly good, the kitchen had everything you could possibly need and a decent vacuum to suck up all the dog hair. We loved our stay, Jacky Garth is one of the nicest cottages we have stayed in and we were sad to leave and are planning to return next year.

The property

Keswick 4.5 miles.

This lovely, semi-detached holiday home, Jacky Garth Cottage, is located in the picturesque village of Threlkeld near Keswick in Cumbria.

This house is among the oldest in Threlkeld and boasts original features peppered throughout the dwelling, making it ideal a charming retreat for a family's break in the Lake District.

When you arrive at the property, you will be met not only with a pleasant, white-washed exterior, but also by a convenient, off-road parking area, allowing for simple unloading of your belongings your home-away-from-home.

Inside, you'll discover a quaint living/dining area with exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace beholding an electric effect log burner, creating a delightful spot where you can rest after an eventful day in front of the TV.

Move on to the welcoming galley kitchen, where a rustic wooden column takes centre stage and an assortment of wooden-topped cupboards house abundant appliances to satisfy any aspiring chef!

Bring out the foldable dining table once dinner is ready and have a delicious meal with your family; perhaps you'd also like pour a bottle of bubbly and toast to this fantastic escape?

Make your way upstairs, as the day fades to night, to find two wonderful bedrooms, one a twin with views of Blencathra, and the other a fabulous king-size.

In the morning, prepare for the day ahead in the ground-floor bathroom, which features a bath with a shower above it. For those evenings when you desire a dinner out, Threlkeld is served by two welcoming pubs; the village also backs onto the picturesque Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Path, as well as the interesting Threlkeld Quarry & Mining Museum and the Keswick Golf Club.

Travel a short distance to Keswick, where you'll find all of your necessities in one location, as well as access to Derwentwater and its selection of watersports, Hope Park's magnificently maintained gardens, and the renowned Museums of Derwent Pencil and Keswick.

Visit Bassenthwaite Lake for a day out with a difference, the lake is a National Nature Reserve surrounded by the beautiful scenery of Dodd Wood, along with the famed Lake District Wildlife Park, and the renowned mountain of Skiddaw.  Visits to Ullswater and Lake Windermere, with their neighbouring towns and villages offering even more activities, are definitely recommended; or perhaps a day out in the historic town of Cockermouth is more your style?
