The property is located in a very peaceful and beautiful location and it is a comfortable and beautiful apartment/flat. The letting agents answer their phones quickly and are very pleasant and helpful to speak with to resolve any questions. We deliberately chose a small, local company through which to find a property and were not disappointed.

Lord's Seat came highly recommended and still managed to exceed our expectations. It is a wonderful space with excellent views from everywhere - including the bathroom! We especially enjoyed sitting in the bay window, enjoying the view - you can just about see the lake from there. The common garden is also beautiful. The accommodation was spotless though it would be nice to have some kind of insect netting on the windows as we found it impossible to open windows in the evening without letting in a host of insects. And in the hot weather we have been having, not being able to open the windows made it a bit stuffy. But this was the only tiny issue in an otherwise exceptional experience staying there. The kitchen is very well equipped, the beds are comfortable and the customer service and instructions were helpful but not intrusive. 5 stars.

Not the first time at Lord's Seat and not the last. Stunning apartment in a lovely location, quiet but not far from Keswick.
Beautifully furnished, comfortable and with every appliance you could possibly need.

Thank you so much for this 5 star review! We love that this is the best property you have stayed at! A former 17th century coaching inn, the Swan Hotel has been converted into apartments. Lord's Seat is a wonderful three-bedroomed apartment on the first floor and offers amazing views of the surrounding fells such as Skiddaw and Barf! We hope you had a wonderful time and we hope to welcome you back when you next visit the Lake District! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great size, well presented

Great place to stay in the lakes. Walks from the door. The apartment had everything for 6 guests, really well presented, home from home.
Nice views from the dining room/lounge and bedrooms.

Only thing I missed is there is no access directly to garden area being on the first floor.

Thank you so much for your 5 star review! There is many walking opportunities for all abilities as soon as you step outside the front door, and the views of Skiddaw and surrounding fells are stunning, and it is only a five minute walk to the shores of Bassenthwaite! We love that you found it a home from a home, and we hope you enjoyed the large shared grounds with pond, orangery, picnic/barbecue area and decking! We hope you had a wonderful time and we hope to welcome you back on your next stay! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Really quite a nice flat, mountains visible from the windows, close to North Lakes area. Nice big rooms, the shared bathroom almost excessively big. The 'Bishop of Barf' memorial is visible from the front door. Kitchen very well equipped.

There is not a lot of space in the cupboards, and it was a little difficult finding it the first time, as there is a similar named place close by on the same road.

Stayed here before so knew what to expect. Good location overlooking Bassenthwaite lake. Clean, comfortable and well equipped. On local bus route to either Keswick or Cockermouth/Workington so no need to use the car which is a bonus. Some good local places to eat in Braithwaite. Plenty of good walking routes.

A family of four plus grand parents. We spent a very comfortable weeks stay in the Lords Seat. Very well equipped and in a location that suited us very well, and with easy parking. Keswick is nearby for any essentials you may require. Costs were a little hign. We however stayed an extra night that was offered at reduced rate. On a personal note, I would like to see electric car chargers installed here and other sites for accommodation.



Sophie - Keswick Cottages replied more than 1 year ago
Hello Tom, Thank you for your review we are glad you had an enjoyable stay at Lords Seat. Although electric car charging points aren't available here, if you do ever need recommendations of places close by where these are available we are more than happy to provide you with this information as needed. We hope it is not too long until your next stay.

Enjoyed stay very much and will return in the future would rate property 90/100

Winter weight duvets perhaps not good in summer. Some of party found scent diffusers overpowering. Disappointed not to have received my £150 deposit returned yet

A lovely property in an superb location with spectacular views. The place is very comfortable with quality furnishings.

It has a great Kitchen with all the amenities you may need for a break.

Excellent bus service just outside the front door which will take you to Workington & Cockermouth in one direction and to Keswick, Penrith & Carlisle in the other - you can just abandon the car for a week!!

A couple of minute stroll takes you to the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake. Great views, loads to see, very chilled & relaxing. Because of the timing of our visit {July} we even had Osprey soaring over the water.

Fully recommend & cannot wait to go back for more.

The apartment was comfortable and spotlessly clean. We have stayed here quite a few years and keep coming back. It’s such a good location with fantastic views over the fells. As a customer of Keswick Cottages I feel very well cared for and catered for. We have stayed at several of their properties and they have all had the same high standard of comfort and cleanliness.

Fantastic flat in a beautiful setting with great access to Bassenthwaite and Whinlatter. Only slight downside is not having a pub in walking distance!



Sophie - Keswick Cottages replied more than 1 year ago
Hello Peter, Thank you for your review, we are so glad overall you had such a fantastic stay. We completely can understand what a great addition a village pub would be to Thornthwaite. The only thing we could suggest is hopping on the bus to Braithwaite where you would have a choice of village pubs. Hopefully it won't be long until your next stay with us.
