Alison’s View is very conveniently located with central Keswick shops, pubs etc only a short stroll away. The garage makes car unloading an easy and dry experience as well as providing safe overnight parking On arrival, the heating and background lighting were on making us feel very welcome. The property was very clean throughout and contains everything needed for a comfortable stay. Our only suggestion is for a general clean and tidy of the outdoor area that looks a bit tired after a long winter. This was our second visit to Alison’s View - we will return and can recommend the property and Keswick Cottages

Perfect location 5 minutes walk into town centre & to pick-up route via St John's down to the lake.
Lovely & clean, welcome pack tea coffee milk & washing up/ dishwasher tablet appreciated. Well equipped kitchen , although we only had breakfast at the accommodation
Gorgeous bathroom, although loo rolls for stay would have been expected to be included in the price.
Given a 4 for comfort as we really didnt like the bed, they were so soft, it was like sleeping on a water bed, such a shame, may suit others but we didn't get a good night's sleep.
Recommendation: Casa Bella ,not dog friendly but do takeaway. Barua Street food was amazing as was the Royal Oak.

We booked this for Christmas. We love Keswick but did not want on street parking because we anticipated and it transpired, that the roads would be full. This cottage had a garage which was perfect, right in the centre of Kewsick.

The cottage was spotlessly clean. We stay in many holiday cottages which say spotless and other guests leave reviews saying they are spotless but you notice ages old dust on lampshades etc. Alison's View was definitely the best presented cottage we have stayed in. It actually was spotlessly clean.

Towels and bed linen are provided which is really good because space for travel can be at a premium.

There were biscuits and wine for us which was a generous touch.

The kitchen was very well equipped and we had no problem cooking our Christmas dinner.

The cottage was very warm and warmed up quickly when we'd been into Keswick or walking along the river in the park about 2 minutes walk away.

The sofas were comfortable, the TV was good and there was a selection of DVDs.

We only used one bedroom, but it was very comfortable and there are huge built in wardrobes which contain lights. The doors and decor are of good quality and not just the cheapest like you get in some locations.

The shower room was spacious and the shower very good quality. It's my belief that if there is no bath the shower should be good and this one was brilliant. Lots of space too.

Great views from the velux windows and the window in the kitchen and was stunning watching the changing light and weather.

Would return here anytime.

Rang Keswick Cottages for some help, they answered straight away and were courteous, professional and understanding.

The breakages deposit was returned without us having to ask for it which hasn't been our experience with other companies.

Very happy with Keswick Cottages, very happy with the property and had an amazing Christmas.

One final thing, Alison's View was advertised on another provider's site with a special offer attached and was still much more expensive than Keswick Cottages.

Had a great time as usual in Keswick,accommodation was excellent, everything we needed was provided, garage is brilliant especially with the parking in town being expensive and our big mondeo fitted in no problem. Stairs could be a problem mobility wise but we were fine with them. Normally stay in our caravan but with it being winter this was a nice change

This was a return visit for us. Alison's View is conveniently situated to enjoy all of Keswick's amenities'
The house is cosy, comfortable, clean and very well equipped. The jewel in the crown (oddly) is the garage, an absolute bonus. This is extremely convenient, spacious and is as equally well equipped as the rest of the house.
We intend to return!

Excellent location and garage very helpful. Only slight complaint that telly very basic. We came about 5 years ago and same telly. A smart TV would be a good improvement as on rainy days we could put something on, either Utube for kids or Netflix.



Keswick Cottages replied 240 days ago
Hi Stephen, thank you for your review. The addition of the garage is a brilliant feature of Alison's View and the location is perfect for exploring Keswick. The addition of a smart TV will be noted, please check our recommendations for 'What to do on Rainy Days' which provides detail of places and activities to explore on a rainy day. We hope to welcome you back again.

Great location but needs a deep clean

From looking at other reviews, we think we've been a bit unlucky.
When we arrived at 4pm on Saturday the property wasn't ready. We were offered a late departure to make up for this.
We had a few maintenance issues that we didn't notice until after 5.30pm when the office had closed, so they didn’t get rectified until Monday and Tuesday.
The property needs a deep clean, especially the landings, banisters and under the kitchen table. Crockery in the cupboards needs to be checked for cleanliness before new guests arrive. The bins should also have space for new guests to put their waste and recycling in.
The location is great, so lovely and quiet. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was nice. The towels were fluffy (although a bit small). The garage and use of a washing machine were brilliant.



Great Hol home

This is our Second stay at Alison’s view and a good time was had by all.
On the ground floor there is a garage (which are a premium in the Victorian streets of Keswick) It is well equipped with sink and washing facilities together with plenty of storage space to leave your walking equipment and toys, reading material and jigsaws for the adults.outside there is a small courtyard.
The kitchen lounge areas are well equipped. The bedrooms both have large skylights which were great left open at night as there was a heatwave while staying and we enjoyed cool night’s sleep.
Definitely be booking another stay in the future.

Keswick is a great place to explore the hills of the Lake District and Allison's View is a great base for a holiday.

This is a great house for everything Keswick has to offer
Right in the middle of town life but also very quiet
All the walks are close by and the addition of the utility room is perfect for muddy boots and paws
Garage parking is amazing especially if it’s raining when you arrive
This place is now no 1 on my list



Keswick Cottages replied 176 days ago
Thank you so much for your 5 star review! We love that this is number one on your places to stay in Keswick. We agree that the location is perfect because it is only a short walk to the town centre but it is tucked away to enjoy the peace and quiet. A utility room is especially needed for when you've been out walking. We hope you had a fantastic time and we can't wait to welcome you on your next visit to Keswick. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

A VERY pleasant short stay.

Spent 4 nights in Alison’s View. The property was easy to find, very handy for amenities in central Keswick and the attached garage was very convenient for unloading the car as well as providing safe overnight parking. Alisons View was lovely and warm when we arrived, the standard of cleaning was excellent and everything we needed was provided. We had a slight issue with a malfunctioning information tablet - a quick phone call and Keswick Cottages brought round and set up a replacement device within minutes. Thank you. We have no hesitation in recommending Alison’s View (and Keswick Cottages) and hope to stay there again in the future

The unit was extremely comfortable and very well appointed and clean. Well positioned to town center and to local park, as we took our dog with us. Having a garage with laundry facilities in the garage was so convenient, especially as it rained most of the time we were there. Highly recommend the unit. The booking staff were very accommodating and helpful.

We arrived on a very cold afternoon after a long car journey and we were pleased that we had a spacious garage to park the car off the street and get the dogs out of the car safely.
The accommodation was lovely and warm and was in a great location, situated just by one end of Fitz park.
There is a washing machine and dryer in the garage along with a sink so perfect for cleaning wet, muddy dogs before going into the house.
The accommodation does have two flights of stairs but has a great view from the windows. The kitchen area is well stocked for cooking and there is a large fridge and dishwasher. It is an open plan style lounge/kitchen with a small dining table to seat four people. ( The only negative point about the lounge is that the TV only has the 5 channels, so were a bit limited on what to watch after coming home in the evening although there is a large DVD collection provided.)
Every part of the accommodation was spotless.
Customer service was very good and a small welcome pack was provided with T bags, a few sachets of coffee and milk, and a few packets of biscuits.
There is a small Spar shop in the same street that stocks essentials. Would certainly stay at Alisons View again as could not fault it . Had a great time.
Make sure to read the visitors books which are in the hallway for recommended places to visit or to eat in.

Alison’s view is a clean comfortable place to stay in a central location in Keswick. The integral garage is a great asset and a useful place to leave muddy boots and wet coats when needed. The bedrooms, though small, felt airy due to the velux windows which managed to keep us cool during the record breaking heat while we were there.
A shelf for toothbrushes and toiletries would be useful in the bathroom and we felt the welcome pack was rather mean for such an expensive property.

Would highly recommend this cottage for a stay in Keswick. Lovely and clean and fantastic garage which was such a bonus as parking is a nightmare. Five minute walk into town so ideally situated. Had everything you could possibly need, all of the usual cooking utensils. The only issue was it could of done with a shelf in the bathroom to keep all your toiletries

Having stayed here a few times now, we find it peaceful and close to the center of Keswick. A nice large garage easily takes the car and allows me to clean the dog before going up stairs to the kitchen and living room. Having a small fenced court yard is nice specially on a warm evening alas we always go through winter time so not used. Two bedrooms 1 with double bed and plenty of coat hangars in the wardrobe and ample shelving. A well laid out bathroom with shower although was not getting really hit water from the shower but was warm enough to take a shower. Hopefully we'll book again for our winter break as we do love the Lake District, Keswick and the cottage Thank you for letting us stay
