My wife and I are regular visitors to the Lake District. We spend at least two separate weeks each year there in self catering accommodation. Keswick Cottages is the only company we use as we like to support local business and we find that their customer service is first class. This is the 2nd time we've visited Rock Lynn. It has a very good situation with great views, good access and parking. The location is great for general access to all of the Lake District and also the amenities available in Keswick in particular. The cottage itself is well equipped, very clean, recently refurbished, well maintained and spacious. The beds are very comfortable and bathrooms are modern and very practical. The kitchen dining room is well equipped with a utility room has good washing and drying facilities. The owner lives nearby, which is handy if there are any issues.

We paid for early checking in, which hadn't been communicated to the cleaner. This only delayed our access to the premises by 30 minutes. We contacted Keswick Cottages who immediately refunded our early checkin payment without hesitation.

The only concern I had was that the settees in the living room aren't very comfortable. This was a significant issue for me as I have a back problem. By the end of the week I found that I was suffering from more than usual discomfort which I put down to the lounge seating.

Overall however, this is a great option which we will be seeking to book again in the future.

We had a wonderful week in the Lake District. Braithwaite is ideally located for accessing the northern Lakes. Rock Lynn is a very comfortable home with walks into the hills from the front door. It is well equipped with a lovely outdoor space and views. There are also some very good eateries within walking distance. It is close to the Keswick bypass so you can avoid the busy centre of Keswick. The Winlatter Forest activity centre is also very close with walks and mountain biking.

Thank you so much for your review of Rock Lynn! We are so happy you had a wonderful week here. The village of Braithwaite is just outside of Keswick. We're so glad you found it very comfortable and we hope you enjoyed some lovely walks. We are so pleased you found it well equipped and made use of the outdoor space. There are plenty of places to eat and socialise. We hope you had a wonderful time and we hope to welcome you back again! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

We had a lovely stay in Rock Lynn. The house was very comfortable had good amenities. It was also in a lovely location with amazing views. We were a bit disappointed with the state of the outside area by the kitchen/utility room. It had a lot of weeds and there were many dead leaves in the lean-to and the barbecue looked quite dirty. The grass was cut weekly which was great but a bit more attention to the patio/stoned area would have been appreciated. It was also a bit disappointing that we had to chase for the linen and towel change - we were expecting it to be done on the middle Saturday but we’re only told when chasing that it would be done on the Sunday. The lack of communication was disappointing.



Keswick Cottages replied 201 days ago
Thank you so much for your review of Rock Lynn. It is lovely to know you had a comfortable stay while exploring the area. This particular property is cleaned and maintained by the owners, who live locally. They sincerely apologise that the patio area was in need of some attention, they have since tidied up the space, which does make a lovely place to relax and admire the views on warmer days. It is really important to them that guests enjoy their holiday at Rock Lynn, so they would have made sure this was rectified during your stay if it was mentioned when they popped round to see you on Saturday regarding the linen and towel change. They were sorry that the linen and towel change took place a day later than originally planned, they always do their very best to carry out this service halfway through two week stays, however due to a family matter it was not possible on this occasion. We did speak with you on the phone, and the owner called round to see you on Saturday afternoon, but we apologise that you still felt disappointed. We hope this would not deter you from returning in the future. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

We had a wonderful and peaceful stay in Rock Lynn. We had everything we needed in a lovely location to many of the Lakes.
The bungalow was lovely and quiet and ideal for travelling to many beautiful areas. The only down side was the garden was steeper then expected for my dogs and elderly parents but this is the only negative.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay at Rock Lynn, a very well presented, comfy and cosy property in a great location with lovely views all around. Comfortable bed and good modern bathrooms and kitchen, well equipped with everything we needed. The outdoor space was also very good and would be great in the warmer weather.

We have stayed in Rock Lynn for many years and it is always a joy to return. Very spacious accommodation with a large double bedroom with ensuite shower, and large twin with access to the main bathroom with shower over bath. The lounge is spacious with 2 large settees and a super smart TV for those quiet nights, with stunning views over the Fells and the Vale of Keswick. Plenty of area for after wet walks, a covered area in the garden for wet dripping clothes, plus a large utility room that also houses the washing machine, dryer and freezer. The kitchen is a good size, with ample space for food preps, with table and chairs offering more stunning views over the Coledale Fells. Ample parking for 2 cars. This is the perfect Lakeland location for a relaxing holiday.

Booked this property very late and price had been reduced to within our budget. Lovely clean, spacious bungalow with superb views. Braithwate is just a short hop to Keswick, great if you use the bus. It's in a quiet location but close to the two pubs and little shop/cafe. Could had done with a TV in the kitchen and a pity the room in the loft was not used. But the place was spotless and had really good bathrooms. We normally try and stay more in the middle of the Lakes but enjoyed our time here and would definitely think about returning.

We have stayed here lots of times over the years and as regular visitors to the Lakes, it's our favourite dog friendly place. It's spacious, full of amenities Inc a great boot room/place to dry the dog and in a perfect location for us! Lovely recently refurbished kitchen and bathrooms too. We've stayed in summer and winter - been lucky enough with good weather to use outside patio and in the winter it is lovely and cosy. Only thing I would mention is that it doesn't have a Smart TV which is unusual these days (hence the loss of one point)Otherwise fantastic place!

We have a wonderful stay at Rock Lynn last week - the property is immaculate and in a great location in a lovely village. There are two great pubs within easy walking distance, a super coffee shop and a well-stocked village shop. The property is lovely inside and out - comfy beds, great kitchen with all appliances and lovely bath/showers - plus fabulous views and an enclosed garden (albeit this is steep!) for the dog. There's also a short walk accessible from the back garden up the steep hill behind too, which had lovely views across the valley. Would definitely recommend this property and we will certainly return!

Superb position overlooking Braithwaite and surrounding mountains. Difficult to imagine a better spot.clean and very comfortable
Only problem was that when it rained we could not get to reception. Something that should be looked at if possible
Really enjoyed our stay. We have stayed in many cottages in various parts of the Lake District but this was the best

This home was perfect. I took my mother to the Lakes for her 81st birthday. From the minute we arrived at Rock Lynn it felt like home, Mum took the very cosy twin at the back with its en-suite bathroom, so easy for her, while I had the double at the front with en-suite shower. Never before have I been able to have a shower looking at a view. The house while in the village felt private and the elevated position provided seclusion and the most lovely views of skiddaw and barrow and all the way to helvellyn range when the cloud lifted. A walker I truly appreciated climbing the hill at the top of the garden, and coledale rambling direct from the door. We were both warm and comfortable and wanted for nothing in this beautiful, well equipped and well situated property. Village shop great for fudge, Keswick for all other shopping needs just a 10 minute drive. We had rain and more rain, the house meant this did not matter - it is wettest place in England that’s for sure!

Thank you so much for your 5 star review. We are overjoyed that you and your Mother had a wonderful time celebrating her 81st Birthday! We agree Rock Lynn is a home away from home! We agree that the views from the cottage are stunning, and that the location with the elevated position makes it feel private and secluded. We love the special access to the fell behind the cottage! We are so glad you found it warm and comfortable despite all the rain! We hope to welcome you again when you visit the Lake District again! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

We have stayed in Rock Lynn for many years and never being disappointed with the cottage. Lots of space for comfort, and perfect after a wet walk with a sheltered area outside for dripping clothes, and a utility room when dripping is finished. Super views from the cottages along the Vale of Keswick and on to the lower Coledale Fells. Plenty of walking from the door, making it ideal for resting the car, plus a pub a very short walk from the door, and the super Coledale Inn, a little further. One tiny thing I would add, it would be nice if there was a smart TV so ITV X and BBC Iplayer could be accessed giving a greater selection of entertainment for cosy nights in front of the open fire. But we will be back soon!



Another week away.

After Christmas we booked another stay at Rock Lynn. A wonderful property in a great little village just outside of Keswick.
The ideal property as a base for walks or just a week's peace and quiet.
Some great walks and strolls from the front door, and we took advantage of its perfect location....and the property was spotlessly clean. All in all, another great week.

Saved by our stay at Rock Lynn.
We had a wonderful stay with our son and Tina. Cracking accomadation and for us the absolute perfect spot to stay. Just far enough from the village centre to be quiet.....but 2 minutes walk to the pub. Just far enough from keswick, but minutes in the car, a little longer on the bus and a happy 40ish minute scenic stroll.
Sat above the cottage on the small seat up the hill every morning enjoying the view and tranquillity. Breaks my heart to think someone may read this and find this little hidden gem that stops us getting our next booking.
It ticked all our boxes.....and put some boxes I hadn't even thought of there.
The Christmas we will never forget was spent at Rock Lynn for all the right reasons. Many thanks to Toshy and the keswick cottages team.

We have stayed at Rock Lynn three times now and plan to return again. It’s a cosy, well equipped cottage with fantastic views and has great walking and cycling opportunities right on the doorstep. The utility room is ideal for when you come back dripping wet, with muddy boots and a muddy dog!

We are so happy you had another fantastic holiday and we can't wait to welcome you again on your 4th stay at Rock Lynn! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

I have stayed in Keswick and Braithwaite in the summer and autumn for the last 10 years with my family. We have stayed in some delightful properties but this was by far the most comfortable, clean and well equipped cottage so far. The views are stunning and it was lovely to have such clear views across the hills.

The kitchen was a great size and was pretty well equipped with everything we needed. Maybe another oven tray? :).

The bathrooms were spotless and stylish and the beds were really comfortable with crisp linen. The size of the bed was immense! I always think the towels are too small but that's personal preference but they were soft and clean.

The only thing that may put people off is the steep (but short) climb up the hill from Braithwaite and the steep driveway. You may struggle if you have poor mobility but it was perfect for us.

The dogs had a lovely time but you wouldn't know it was a doggy house as it was immaculate. There were dog bowls and towels too.

I really can't express how much I enjoyed my week.

Thank you!

Another lovely stay with Keswick Cottages. Rock Lynn was clean, tidy, and well equipped with lovely walks direct from the door, and a pub and shop just down the road in Braithwaite. The driveway and garden are steep and could be a problem if you have mobility issues!

We loved this bungalow which was well equipped to a high standard and very comfortable. Views amazing - and location excellent only a few minutes down to village shop, cafe, pubs. Refurbished bathrooms and a big bath to ease those aching limbs. WFI was excellent and beds were very comfortable. Real fire with plenty of logs available. Would highly recommend this property.

We enjoyed our stay at Rock Lynn very much. Excellent views from the house (we did have lovely weather) which was well-equipped, spacious for 4 guests and in a good location. The beds were very comfortable and the bathrooms were excellent in terms of cleanliness and storage.
It would be helpful to have an extra few mugs and plates but otherwise all good. The outside space is useful and it is nice to have your own hill to climb out of the back door!



Great property in a superb location.

Great property in a superb location. Very spacious with excellent kitchen and bathrooms. Lovely garden with amazing views especially when you climb up out the back of the bungalow. I think the lounge could do with a little modernisation and a smart TV. Braithwaite is ideal with a super village shop, great pubs, a bus service and fantastic walks from the door. We also booked a tennis court at the tennis club which had amazing views of skiddaw. We have been to Rock Lynn 4 times and will definitely return.

After staying in a rather tired cottage on our last visit (not with this company) we were really pleased with Rock Lynn. The cottage was fabulous and very comfortable with new modern bathrooms.
It’s in a great spot with amazing views all round. The back garden is enclosed so dog friendly. The owners recommended a walk from the back garden on to a heath and the views on the walk were stunning.
An added bonus was that The Royal Oak pub reopened part way through our week!



Keswick Cottages replied more than 1 year ago
Thank you so much for this lovely review! We are so glad that you were really pleased with Rock Lynn! The enclosed back garden is perfect for your four-legged companions to safely explore. The walk from the rear of the garden onto the little fell is extra special - not many cottages has a back garden with special access to a fell! We hope you had a wonderful stay and we hope to welcome you back on your next visit! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

We really enjoyed our stay here. Lovely cottage, well equipped and very clean. Also very comfortable, either as a place just to relax in for the day or to come back to after a day out.
Enjoyed the views from the cottage, and from the very short hike up the fell at the back.
Great location for enjoying walks and hikes in the local area and just over a couple of miles walk along country lanes from Derwent water.
Booking and everything very well organised and easy.

We arrived to find a spotlessly clean well aired cottage.
We were a bit disappointed that The Royal Oak pub had closed down but found the Coledale Inn very welcoming and friendly, with great food and excellent ales on tap .
The location is stunning and a real dream for people like us who enjoy walking with dogs . There is an unlimited choice of walks from the door.
Even though when we booked the holiday we did not realise that it was half term week, we never found it crowded nor did the standard of facilities available drop.
The cottage itself had every conceivable home comfort and was very well maintained throughout. We felt that to make use of everything on offer we would have needed a much longer stay than the week we had booked.
I would recommend this cottage to everybody and won't hesitate to book it again.

Thank you so much for this lovely review! We are so delighted that you found the location of Rock Lynn stunning and enjoyed the unlimited choice of walks straight from your door step! Based at Braithwaite, it is away from the bustling town of Keswick so it offers a peaceful and quiet location. We are so glad you found the cottage to have home comfort and very maintained throughout! Thank you so much for this recommendation! We cannot wait to welcome you back when you book your next stay at Rock Lynn! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Very good value, comfortable and clean. Good location one or two maintenance glitches e.g. kitchen tap - easily fixable. Access is very steep which may cause some difficulty for people with limited mobility trying to get to and from the premises without the aid of a vehicle.

Rock Lynn is a lovely holiday bungalow, spacious, extremely clean, well equipped and well presented. The views are stunning, the heating is generous and the atmosphere quiet and restful. The oven, washer and tv are easy to use - you don’t spend ages working out how to use them. Love the ample utility room for muddy boots and drying. Beds are so comfy. Been to a few - this is the best.

Previously stayed in 2017, but love the upgraded bathroom and en suite shower room and lovely new carpet throughout.. So Clean which is a plus for me , plenty or room for 4 people. Rock Lynn is in a Fabulous location. Everything needed was there except could do with a few books or DVD's (we did buy some from the Charity shop in Keswick). Loved the enclosed garden for the dog. m Nothing for to add except to say we will be booking again. Thank you. Helen Johnstone.

Cottage is spacious, comfortable and well equipped, with fantastic fell views. Plenty of storage space for walking boots, coats, etc. Appears to be recently refurbished with modern en suite bathrooms and new carpets, although some of the furniture is older. A short walk up a hill from the pub and village shop. Great walks from the door up the Coledale Fells as well as the little local fell behind the cottage, whilst also having easy access to Keswick for more amenities.

Another visit to Rock Lynn, and another very satisfying and happy week in this Braithwaite cottage. Great location with views of Barrow and Causey Pike ......... on a clear day! ...... and up through the Vale of Keswick. The bonus of an open fire makes a cold wet evening feel rosy and warm, a perfect place to stay for a Lakeland break.

We have stayed in the cottage, Rock Lynn, for many years and have NEVER had any bad experience. The accommodation is very spacious, with excellent quality of fittings and furniture, although it would be nice to have a smart TV giving access to BBCIplayer and ITV Hub. The garden is a good outdoor space for those sunny days, with the added bonus of a sheltered area for poor weather. This sheltered area is also useful for hanging out wet kit after outings in the rain, with generous space in the utility room for finishing off the drying. We will continue to use this super cottage.
