Our Time in Keswick

Upon arrival at Sam’s Cottage, we were pleasantly surprised of its proximity to all local amenities. The cottage itself was wonderful and very well presented and a lovely welcome pack was waiting for us, which was greatly appreciated. We would definitely return.

In the centre of Keswick.

We were looking for a level-access place in Keswick and this amply met our requirements. It is exceptionally well equipped, fairly newly furnished and very comfortable. All it lacks, being in a yard, is a view of the mountains - but you don't have to go far for one, and it's as central as you could possibly hope for. The access is very tight, and turning the car round was exciting (I recommend an assistant!). The only complaint: we could only book 3 nights at short notice in the Easter holidays.

A lovely spacious cottage near the middle of Keswick.

I was impressed with the welcome of the Keswick Cottages staff and the efforts they made to make our stay good. I was very grateful for the support and help they provided. The bed was a large King size providing a luxurious night's sleep. The cottage was well kitted out and a large wetroom welcomed us after a long day out. The cottage was beautifully clean and the welcome packs were much appreciated.

Super stay

Sam's Cottage is compact and cosy. I did have a problem with a squeaky bed frame but the team at Keswick Cottages were quick to resolve this as much as they could. A great central location. Well equipped kitchen. We did struggle to park our big car as the alley is rather narrow!

A little break in Keswick

Having Multiple Sclerosis and being a wheelchair user I was worried about going away. My family and I look upon the Lakes as our second home, spending years visiting and walking the fells until my diagnosis. Sam's Cottage showed me disability doesn't have to hold you back. The Cottage was lovely. The welcome packs, such a lovely touch. Every bit of space was used to its fullest potential. Will definitely be back. Must mention the drive way. Luckily my husband is a great driver. Please check your vehicle will fit.

Great location, needing a few adjustments

This was our second visit to Sam's cottage; both times with our adult son in his electric wheelchair. Its location in the town centre is great and much appreciated. We have booked to return next year. There are a few improvements which would make it easier for our son: - the kitchen table is too low for our son to sit at it in his electric wheelchair, so we raised the table by putting books under each table leg. - the fold-up grab rail by the toilet is too low, but a suitably placed book and drink mat raised it sufficiently. - the bed was much too low. It required both my wife and I to help our son stand, despite having bed rails in place, in order to transition to his wheelchair. Next year we will bring adequate blocks to make the required adjustments. We managed to navigate the lane into Baker's Yard without damage to car or property! Needs repeated reversing to get lined up going in and patience from other road users!

Excellent location

Sams cottage sits in an excellent location in the centre of Keswick. Not directly off the street, but through a narrow archway. Convenience store across the road any many restaurants and bars only feet away. The lake is approx 15min walk away. Cottage is well equipped and comfortable, however would benefit from a king sized bed. If you bring a dog the only close green space is St John's Church which is 5 mins up the road.

Great cottage but wheelchair users will need assistance!

Sam cottage is a hidden gem in the middle of Keswick. Considering its location it is really quite. The space is perfect for a small family, I was in Keswick working but I brought my husband and son on a mini break! There is plenty of circulation space for wheelchair users and the kitchen is set up really well. The only issue we had was getting our van close enough to pack and unpack, I drive a WAV and my husband and son had to unpack the van and walk down the street multiple times, had I travelled on my own it would have been impossible for me to get parked close enough and empty the van. We were aware of the parking issue before we booked but in practice it was a bigger issue than expected. We also had people who worked in the local take aways parking at will in the spaces which were for the cottages! Over all it is a fab little place but you will need to go with assistance if you are in a larger vehicle.

Beautiful cottage. Troublesome parking.

Really lovely cottage, thoughtfully adapted. Just about perfect. BUT parking was not suitable for a large wheelchair adapted vehicle. We couldn’t get ours down the access road. The road was too narrow. We had to park on the main road, unload our equipment and bags, then find somewhere to park. The letting agents were very good. They supplied us with a parking permit for our two week stay. Luckily, family were able to meet us at the end of our holiday and assist with moving all our equipment etc out of the cottage. We loved the cottage but feel it should be made very clear that parking is not suitable for large WAVs.

A few issues

I feel that lighting under kitchen wall cabinets would be a benifit as that area is dar Also blackout blinds would be appreciated in bedroom as awakened at 5.30 am with daylight. Felt that there was a smell from drain in bathroom sink . When I pulled suitcase from under bed it was covered in dust . Unfortunately there was a power cut when we were at cottage and there was no torch to help with visibility and emergency number we contacted returned our call next morning which did not help the situation. Apart from these issues we love Keswick and hope to return next year to Sam’s Cottage as it is a perfect accommodation for my son’s needs.

Functional

The cottage provided all the facilities needed for our daughter who is a wheelchair user. Position is great. Unfortunately weather was bad and the cottage was not comfortable and welcoming for staying indoors. We cut short our visit and left after two nights

Clean and functional

Lovely place and great location. Very clean and spacious. Could have done with an alternative to the sofa. Maybe an armchair for those that struggle to get up off a sofa. Driveway is extremely narrow and anything wider than a Polo will struggle.

In the heart of it

A very nice well presented modern cottage right in the heart of Keswick. This is in an excellent position with shops, pubs & restaurants on your doorstep. There is even a well stocked open all hours store just through the arch across the street. As mentioned before the access through the arch into the parking area is fairly tight, however we took our SUV through slowly with room to spare either side turning quite easily once in. This cottage is equipped with good set up for mobility, which helped my 91 year old dad move around and access the rooms and bathroom.

Perfect Keswick location

Sam's cottage is a good, central location with comfortable bed, sofa and excellent showers. Thank you to Keswick cottages staff member for hearing our concerns and supplying some kitchen utensils that were missing when we arrived. Starter pack of washing up liquid, dishwasher tabs and one loo roll only go so far, so be prepared to take extras unless you want to buy more once in Keswick. Our big issue was with the narrow access to the property, as mentioned on previous reviews. Despite being forewarned we scraped our car on arrival ( not the best start to the week!). A measurement of the width of the alley would be helpful as we don't consider our car to be large (Seat Leon). On arrival you need to be prepared to align your car at right angles to the street and approach the alley straight on, trying not to squash any passing pedestrians on St. John's Street (of which there are many on Saturday afternoon).

A lovely property centrally based

A lovely single storey property, very spacious and well adapted for wheelchair users. In a great central location but a very narrow back street to reverse down to park.so once we were parked the car stayed put! All clean and comfortable for most, although I walk with crutches and have bad hip arthritis so the sofa was very low down for me and difficult to get up front. Everything was welcoming and clean. I would definitely recommend it as the location is brilliant with shops, cafes and restaurants on the doorstep and lovely walks minutes away which the rest of the family and the dog loved!

Sam's Cottage is a spacious and comfortable apartment. It was spotlessly clean on arrival and has everything you need for self-catering. Perfect location in the centre of Keswick.

Good disabled accommodation

A lovely well fitted bungalow well situated within easy reach of all facilities. But VERY NARROW concealed entrance ( with no warning ). Fittings good but in wheelchair I found the wash basin to small & low with no adjoining shelf for tooth brush etc. A map would help find property in very busy streets. Generally very good.
