We had a great time at 3 Barf Cottages. The cottage was lovely, clean, and was well equipped for a family our family of four(+dog). Positives - comfy beds and pillows, large selection of crockery and utensils in the kitchen and a great location from which to walk into Keswick. Negatives - slight road noise when you are sat in the garden, but it is a good location as only a couple of minutes from the main road. The patio doors from the downstairs bedroom were also so difficult to lock we decided to not re-open them once we had them locked. Also note, if you have more than 1 car, you can only fit 1 car in front of the property, but there is additional parking a bit further down the road. Overall a great holiday and we will definitely be back.

The cottage is fresh and modern with lovely views, well equipped and plently of space. The layout and bedrooms worked particularly well for us. We really enjoyed the kitchen/dinning area with the huge window. There was noise from the A66 if you were outside at peak travel times, but this did not bother us. Great location as we were able to walk to the village pub, the marina launch, enjoy water activities and walks without need if a car. We also walked into Keswick on a number of occasions. It was spacious enough for 6 people (teenagers to grandparents) to live comfortably. From a partner site ### 10/10 Excellent #### Roy 23 Jun 2019 #### All ok except a couple of small issues.
