We were greeted by the lovely owner, Marlene. Nice and warm in the cosy cottage. Very peaceful setting with lots of walking options. Lucky with the weather. It is certainly an option to revisit.

Lovely cosy little cottage. Owners are very friendly and helpful and live next door. Countryside location surrounded by a pretty garden to sit out in, great for the dogs. There are red squirrels to be seen in the area, apparently they come in the garden too. We stayed here for a week and had super weather. Keswick is not far, with a lovely theatre and plenty of shops, amenities and a weekly market. Pub in the village, which you can walk to. Only negative would be no washing machine but the owner is happy to allow use of hers, so not a problem.

Cottage is in a beautiful location . Downstairs is a little cramped , would’ve been a bit tight with four people . Nice gardens out back , unfortunately we didn’t have the weather to sit out there ! Lots of great walks from Keswick , 20mins drive away.

We had a really lovely holiday at Garries Cottage. We loved the more remote location - but not that far from amenities in Keswick or Cockermouth. The owners were very helpful, friendly and welcoming. The cottage is cosy, well equipped and comfortable - and owners happy to help put with clothes washing/drying if needed. Would definitely recommend.

Outdated and overrun with cobwebs . The place needs a deep clean . The woodland advertised isn’t mature , has no pathways and really isn’t a woodland at all . No peace to be had in the garden due to the crows in the trees . Advertised as no smoking ( as all are ) but when you get there it says no smoking in the grounds too ! The single track road is a nightmare ! The owner is lovely and accommodating , but the cottage needs some work !
