We absolutely loved our stay at Holly Bank. Entry was very easy via the keysafe. Every little touch and home comfort had been thought of - the beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen was the most well-equipped of any holiday let I have previously stayed in, and the under floor heating in the ensuite bathrooms was an absolute treat! Couple all this with the incredible views, and it made for the perfect Lake District stay. Would definitely go again and recommend to friends.

This was our 4th visit to Holly Bank and again it didn't disappoint. Plenty of room for 6 adults, 2 children and the dog. The cottage, as usual, was very clean and tidy. The only downside was the patio furniture, which has been commented on by previous occupants. There was only 4 chairs, one of which was broken, which is not enough for 8 people. The spare chairs in the summer house were also broken. Definitely need replacing. Luckily we took fishing chairs with us. Glad to see the decking was replaced since we stayed last year. Again, the children were grateful for the teddy bears left on their beds, thank you. We were lucky enough to see a red squirrel every day. The weather was also kind to us. Will certainly return again.

As a family we have been staying in self catering accommodation for 36 years and this cottage had the best equipped kitchen we have experienced. The accommodation was clean on arrival, there was plenty of space for 7 adults, although my daughter did find it an experience sleeping on a top bunk for the first time in years, as she couldn’t get into the bottom bunk. The grounds are extensive, a little hilly but our dogs did enjoy hunting for rabbits and following the scents of the wildlife around the garden.

Fantastic autumn break. Whole family aged 20 to 90 plus dog, loved it. Something for everyone in a very well situated and equipped cottage. ##### Chris ### 6/10 Okay #### Mrs Karen F. 13 Oct 2019 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Great views, maintenance lets it down. The views from Holly Bank are amazing and truly gold star. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for the house. Several things let it down for us. The biggest issue was the fact that there is no mention of a public right of way in the description. While sitting in bed with a cup of tea admiring the view in the morning were startled on several occasions by the appearance of people walking directly past the the window! The dining chairs in the kitchen and conservatory were falling apart. One gave way while our son was holding his 5 month old daughter, no injuries but could have been worse. The decking outside the kitchen and conservatory is very slippery and rotten in places. There is a large area of damp on the wall by the window in the main bedroom. We didn’t use the summerhouse as the view is obscured by the trees in front of it. The boot room is more of a wood store, full of spiders and not accessible directly from within the house. On the positive side. The views from the house and conservatory are stunning, with Skiddaw to the left and Bassenthwaite lake to the front. The sunset over the lake one evening was incredible. We saw red squirrels in the garden, numerous wild birds and could hear owls all around at night time. The Sun Inn, just 10 minutes walk into the village, is friendly and serves good food and real ale. Keswick and Cockermouth are a 15 minute drive away with good selection of shops and eateries. Good market in Keswick on Thursday and Saturday. We were a party of 6 adults, one baby and 3 dogs and the property accommodated all of us comfortably. ##### Mrs Karen F.

We had the most amazing time. My son got married at Armthwaite Hall. We would go there again my grandchildren loved every minute. The any down fall is the public foot path.

Would love to go back its amazing. ##### Lynn This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gill 29 Jul 2019 #### Beautiful cottage, lovely location, amazing weather.

Fantastic cottage - visited many times. Views are second to none. House is lovely inside and it feels like our second home. Downsides: 1) Access into the house is extremely poor for anyone with limited mobility - many narrow concrete steps with no (or wobbly) handrails. Sadly we may not be able to return because of this. 2) Bedrooms, other than the master bedroom, are very small. ##### Julia This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Sue 24 Feb 2019 #### Lovely spacious cottage, kids loved the garden with stream, the woods and garden house. Lovely spacious cottage, kids loved the garden with stream, the woods and garden house. Good location for local and further afield walks. Downside was the journey to the outskirts of Keswick or Cockermouth for food shopping. Ideal for summer with patio area. ##### Sue ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel and Spa Chester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-Hotel-And-Spa-Chester.h527788.Hotel-Information) > > [The Derwentwater Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-The-Derwentwater-Hotel.h57788444.Hotel-Information) > > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Last Drop Village Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bolton-Hotels-Last-Drop-Village-Hotel-And-Spa.h9341.Hotel-Information) > > [Derwent Manor Apartments](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-Derwent-Manor-Apartments.h11899650.Hotel-Information) > > [ibis budget Manchester Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Manchester-Hotels-Ibis-Budget-Manchester-Airport.h75715089.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Tortworth Court](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-De-Vere-Tortworth-Court.h570412.Hotel-Information) > > [Littletown Farm Guesthouse](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-Littletown-Farm-Guesthouse.h24453515.Hotel-Information) > > [The Cottage in the Wood](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-The-Cottage-In-The-Wood.h35181958.Hotel-Information) > > [Grosvenor Pulford Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Chester-Hotels-Grosvenor-Pulford-Hotel-Spa.h790572.Hotel-Information) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Hampton by Hilton Bristol Airport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bristol-Hotels-Hampton-By-Hilton-Bristol-Airport.h16543862.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Wokefield Estate](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Reading-Hotels-De-Vere-Wokefield-Estate.h1044123.Hotel-Information) > > [Dunston Hall Hotel, Spa and Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Norwich-Hotels-Dunston-Hall.h519081.Hotel-Information) > > [Oulton Hall Hotel, Spa & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leeds-Hotels-Oulton-Hall-Hotel.h15948.Hotel-Information) > > [The Park Royal Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Warrington-Hotels-The-Park-Royal.h24462.Hotel-Information) > > [The Horse & Farrier Inn and The Salutation Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-The-Horse-Farrier-Inn-And-The-Salutation-Inn.h34921966.Hotel-Information) > > [The Windermere Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Windermere-Hotels-The-Windermere-Hotel.h13431161.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Silverstone](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Towcester-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Silverstone.h48251404.Hotel-Information) > > [De Vere Cotswold Water Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-De-Vere-Cotswold-Water-Park.h1770053.Hotel-Information) > > [The Derwentwater Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-The-Derwentwater-Hotel.h455422.Hotel-Information) > > [Redworth Hall Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Newton-Aycliffe-Hotels-Redworth-Hall-Hotel.h517266.Hotel-Information) > > [Lake View](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-Lake-View.h5366622.Hotel-Information) > > [The Lodge In The Vale](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Keswick-Hotels-The-Lodge-In-The-Vale.h11899654.Hotel-Information) > > [DoubleTree by Hilton Cheltenham-Cotswolds](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cheltenham-Hotels-Doubletree-By-Hilton-Cheltenham.h65899.Hotel-Information) > > [Harbour Hotel Christchurch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Christchurch-Hotels-The-Christchurch-Harbour-Hotel-And-Spa.h18097.Hotel-Information) > > [Ufford Park Woodbridge Hotel, Golf & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Woodbridge-Hotels-Ufford-Park-Woodbridge-Hotel.h12685.Hotel-Information) > > [Cambridge Belfry Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cambridge-Hotels-Cambridge-Belfry.h1103020.Hotel-Information)
