Lovely Place in an ideal location

Alison's View is a lovely cottage in a great location in Keswick. The accommodation is well equipped with everything you need. The offroad parking in the garage was ideal and a great place to store dirty boots and wet coats. I would certainly stay there again

A little gem

Alison’s View is perfectly situated in the town. The house is clean, comfortable and well equipped. I couldn’t have wished for more. The garage was a total bonus. We put the car inside and walked everywhere - no need to worry about parking or was the car safe. We’ll definitely look to see if Alison’s View is free when we next visit.

Fabulous Keswick Break

Alison's View, Return Visit.

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!

Return to Alison's View

We have just enjoyed our third visit to Alison's View. As before we found the house to be comfortable, clean and very cosy. from weather forecasts we expected a tricky week with snow - this fortunately never materialised. We enjoyed fine, cold weather during which the garage proved to be a real boon (no de-icing required!). The house is so handy for all the amenities in Keswick, we would certainly look forward to a further visit.

Excellent property

Alison's view is a compact property just off the centre of town, within easy walking distance of the town centre and parks. Well equipped for four people, you can either cook at home, by in from Booths supermarket or use any of the restaurants, pubs or takeaways in the town. It has the additional benefit of a (large) garage where the car sat and we either walked or used the excellent local bus service. Children's toys, games, high chair and even a buggy are there to use. An excellent property.

Stay at Allison's view

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.

Standards expected of Keswick cottages property

We use Keswick Cotgages on a regular basis and their properties are generally presented well. Their clients are obviously required to provide a standardised level of facility with a minimum standard of equipment and presented to a standardised level. Bedding, towels etc all as we have come to expect. Alison’s View was no exception. It’s not a picture postcard cottage by any means given it’s located almost directly in the centre of town. It is however well maintained, clean and has everything you will need for a break in Keswick. The garage is an absolute bonus in the centre of Keswick. Very pleased with our stay there and will definitely return if available dates allow.

Great Location but shame about the beds

Well the weather was great so that always helps. The property is in the centre of Keswick so great for access to all the amenities of Keswick. The space was alright and the 2 bedrooms were of good size. The only issue with the bedrooms was the double bed in the main bedroom. It sank and wallowed all over so got very little sleep the first night. As there was just the 2 of us staying in the property we swapped to the other 2 single beds which were better although the soft sided bed bases do not make for comfortable sleeping. Parking is another issue. There is a good sized garage for the car but it is a bit of hassle getting the car in and out. On street parking is limited but always managed to find a spot. I imagine this will be more of a problem in the school holidays. But the fact that you are guaranteed a space because of the garage is a plus. Anyway the garage came in very useful with the dogs. If the beds are changed then we would use it again.

Great weeks stay at Alison's View

Our 2nd stay in this homely house, conveniently situated in the centre of Keswick along with a large garage, so no parking fees. The house is comfortable and has everything you need for a self catering stay in the Lakes. Its easy & quick to take dogs to Fitz Park round the corner as there Is no garden. We had a house keeping problem which was resolved by Keswick Cottages immediately with no quibble. Can highly recommend a holiday at this house. We will return.

Nice stay at Alisons View

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

Another great week in Keswick

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.

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.

Highly recommended

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

A lovely home from home

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.

A lovely place, great location, highly recommended.

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.
