Book a hotel near Blencathra, Keswick

"We took one puppy and thankfully everything in the probably worked out well. Would have been nice if it could have accommodated more than 2 pets but it was no problem "

"Lovely holiday lodge for a couple. Warm and cozy, close enough to two towns with lots of shops and things to do. Car/personal transport 100% recommended as is in the middle of a major road with no pavements. Shower is slightly worn but perfectly functional - hot tub is fantastic. Had a wonderful time here, highly recommended!!"

"Great base and fab owners who showed us the route to path we needed to climb Blencathra… lovely walking route to Keswick. Threlkeld has the nicest little coffee shop."

"Lovely cottage in a picturesque area. Clean and roomy. Did not have hot water. Radiant heaters were not operating. No napkins or paper towels. No detergent for dishwasher. We were uncomfortable without hot water and heating. Unable to communicate readily with owner or property manager. "

"Nice bolt hole for a few days. Small but comfortable."

"The property was beautiful and had everything we needed. We hiked Catbells, Hallin fell, and Black Moss Pot in Stonethwaite. We enjoyed a swim in Lake Ullswater-- we went to Glenridding and followed a footpath down to the water and had a little private cove all to ourselves on a hot day. We also hiked at Hadrian's wall and pursued some family history at Blenkinsopp Castle. We visited Keswick and had terrific Indian/Bangladeshi food at Saffron Kitchen. We ate breakfast for 4 days at the cottage and made two suppers while there and the kitchen had everything we needed. The only difficulty we had was communicating with the host, but I think that was more of a VRBO interface problem. VRBO was saying I had the wrong email address even though I was communicating via the VRBO app. Once I set up an account in cottages.com and reached out that way, I got a prompt response. The only thing I would suggest is to have pertinent property information posted on a paper near the kitchen table and wifi access code. It would be helpful to have general terms posted to include the check out time (since it is a bit earlier than most properties), whether we need to provide additional supplies such as toilet roll or whether those are supplied by the host, and any requirements for how to leave the property (what to do with trash and recycling, if there are other requests re: towels and bedding, etc.). We absolutely loved our stay in the beautifully updated Doddick Chase stone cottage!"
