On the farm
Located just outside Keswick, we walked into the centre reasonably easily. The views are good across the sheep fields. The accommodation is well presented with very comfortable beds, kitchen is adequate for self catering though as is common the knives provided were blunt. I always take my own.

Wonderful Place
Had a great time in the accommodation it was perfect. Very clean and had everything we wanted for our couple of nights stay. The place was warm and cosy and beds were amazing so comfy. Highly recommend it as a quiet rural place that is near lots of things to do. It is well equipped and felt homely with the log burner on in the evening. A great place for a romantic break away from it all or with a couple of family or friends. Had an excellent time and didn't want to leave.

This is the place you want to stay.
I was very impressed at this very welcoming cottage. It is the ideal location to stay. It is situated on a sheep farm and the landscape and scenery is gorgeous outside. It is the ideal location near Keswick. We came in on Nov. 27th and found the heat wasn't registering and I went next door to knock on door and the gentlemen (Jack) was very nice and willing to help us out. We were also missing firewood to burn in the wood stove and he was very helpful to get us some. He brought us 2 electric heaters to help us heat the cottage faster. I can not say enough how nice this cottage was and would definitely book Mary Rook Cottage again when coming to the Lake District and will recommend this to my friends if they choose to come this way. Thx for making are stay perfect even if it was raining most of the time.
