Stanger Cottage is a traditional cottage resting conveniently within the village of Braithwaite and used to form part of the old school, dating back to the late 1800’s.

Good but disappointed!!

We have stayed in Stanger cottage several times before and were disappointed to find it very poorly equipped with kitchen utensils than it was previously , making it much harder to cater than before ,the door locks had also been changed from our visit 18 months before and the back door was difficult to open ,when we arrived we rang Keswick cottages about it as we couldn't get in and were told just keep turning the key and it will open eventually, which would indicate that it was an on going problem, we again reported it after turning the key over 50 times and still being unable to get in ,and we're assured that a lock smith would sort it that day ,we arrived back to find the same problem ,not really good enough!!!

Thank you very much for taking the time to review your stay at Stanger Cottage. I'm so sorry that you experienced some trouble with one of the door locks. We carry out numerous property checks between bookings to minimise inconvenience to our guests. Unfortunately on occasion maintenance issues may occur while properties are occupied, however as a small local business we will always respond as soon as the issue is brought to our attention. On this occasion the maintenance team tested the back door lock several times with different keys and was operating fine on their departure. We did send an update on this at the time but sincerely apologise if you continued to have difficult with the secondary entrance and for any inconvenience caused to your holiday. The property is now on a Winter shutdown, so please be assured we have passed on your feedback to the owners who often use the opportunity to carry out maintenance. We of course hope that you and your family had a fantastic time staying in Braithwaite and exploring the beautiful Lake District. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Disappointing compared to other cottages within the portfolio. Damp and cold, instructions on how to change heating would be advantageous. Cottage not as clean as it could be, lots of dog hair and vacum smelling. A few other points which has been highlighted and hopefully rectified for forthcoming guests. Great location for access to Whinlatter. A little more tlc and it would be excellent.

Thank you for your review, it’s great to hear that you would visit again! Being so close to Whinlatter, Causey Pike and the Coledale Horseshoe, Stanger Cottage is the perfect base for a walking holiday. We hope that you also managed to utilise the brilliant bus service to explore the further reaches of the Lakes as well. We look forward to hosting you again for your next holiday. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Wonderful stay !

Absolutely loved this cottage. Very cosy, spacious and in a perfect location to explore the Lake District. And it’s less than a minute’s walk to the local pub. The only issue we had was with the oven and grill, which randomly kept cutting out in the middle of cooking food.

We're sorry you had issues with the oven, we would've happily sent someone round to take a look for you if it was reported. We hope you had a wonderful time exploring the Lake District!

Sorry but I dont think stanger cottage is worth 4 stars like other keswick cottages we have stayed in could do with extra cleaning, mattress protector quite stained and dust on quite a few areas. Guides on how to use TV and cooker need updating as folder very mismash. Still with these hopefully constructive comments I would still recommend stanger to friends.



Great stay!

Lovely area, great views etc but the cottage is very old and tired. Bathroom new bit kitchen is very poor and old. Damp under one cupboard, you have to guess what the dials on the grill and oven are as they are so worn.
It wasn’t the cleanest either, cob webs in kitchen and the back yard had wobbly flags which also need attention.
Needs bringing up to date and would be lovely little cottage.



Excellent

This cottage is very comfortable, in a great spot, very well equipped for self catering. This was our third stay and will not be our last, the only gripe on this occasion is the toilet roll was nearly empty, it would have been nice if a refil were left.

We spent a great week in the cottage which was in a great location very handy for walks from the door and local transport. The cottage itself had excellent facilities and was very well equipped for self catering.

Everything you need is provided at the property and the location is perfect for walking into Keswick and surrounding areas there are lots of lovely walks. The property is kept very clean and just ideal for a relaxing holiday in a lovely location and the Royal Oak is a lovely, friendly pub with excellent food. We would certainly book this cottage or any others through Keswick Cottages.

Nice property in a lovely village location. Comfortable and generally well kept.
Found someone’s worn sock attached to the sofa in plain sight and blister pack of pills lying on main bedroom floor. Possibly some attention to cleaning services required. Also tiles loose in the small back yard but stable to walk on.
Otherwise a serviceable and well stocked property. Would return.

Another fantastic stay at Stanger Cottage. A lovely cosy cottage in a beautiful setting surrounded by fantastic views.Weather on our side. The only disappointment was that the Royal Oak was not open for food and the Middle Ruddings was closed for a refurbishment but will definitely be back again.

Comfortable accommodation in Braithwaite.
On-street parking here always a problem but can be found.
Bring your own special cooking items as these units may not have all of the items that you have at home.
Phone reception might be a problem depending upon provider.
Got a fridge/freezer replaced within 24 hours, once we managed to contact them.

A great cottage in a great location that is well looked after year after year. While the price has more than doubled since we started staying here having looked at other options Stanger is still our top pick.

We stayed at Stanger Cottage from the 13th May to the 20th May 2022. We were really impressed with the cottage. It had all the amenities/facilities we needed, it’s in a great village and close to so many wonderful places to visit. I would recommend it to anyone!
