Fabulous house in a beautiful location

Well presented, lovely house in the quiet village of Braithwaite. House was very well maintained, clean and spacious. Nice garden, with great views overlooking the fells. Couple of lovely pubs in the village too. Highly recommended and would certainly be back.

Excellent Cottage

We were pleasantly surprised following our Hill Cottage booking at relatively short notice. Property all excellent and many thanks to Rikki for mid stay clean. Very minor maintenance issue sorted by the team. Property is very central for loads of varied walks.

Lovely cottage

We have stayed in Hill Cottage three times as we find it such a relaxing place for a holiday. The house is very comfortable, the kitchen has high quality appliances and everything is spotlessly clean. The location of the cottage is superb, with wonderful views from the property and situated in a charming village with a great shop. The bus stop to Keswick is a few minutes walk away which opens up lots of car free travel around the area. Highly recommended.

Very enjoyable

Excellent all round. Highly r3ccomendable. Expensive for two, but good value for 5/6. One suggestion - would be helpful to have a grabrail in bath/ shower for us oldies, and a soap dish attached to shower wall. Regards.
Response from VrboOwner on 22 Sept 2025
Thank you for your review, we are pleased you have enjoyed your stay. We will pass your comments onto the owner for their consideration regarding the grab rail and soap dish.

Lovely stay at homely cottage

A week spent at Hill Cottage is a week well spent. It feels like home from home, really well kitted out with everything you could want. The quality of the cookware was really good, the speck of the oven/microwave etc was top notch. And the shower was fabulous. So a hot day climbing mountains gets washed off with ease and comfort. I would thoroughly recommend a stay here to anyone visiting the Lakes.

Lovely cottage!

Hill Cottage is a great place to stay for a week. There is a big kitchen, a cosy living room and there are beautiful views from the house. The garden was lovely. You can go on walks straight from the front door or walk to a busstop less than 5 minutes away. The Village Shop is a few minutes away by foot and has fresh bread, delicious cakes and more. We love to come back sometime!

Beautiful cottage in Braithwaite

We've stayed at Hill cottage in Braithwaite a number of times. Beautiful house and garden, spacious and well equipped and very clean. Excellent location for walks. When we first started staying a welcome pack of milk, tea, coffee and cake or biscuits were provided. This hasn't been the case in the last few years and we do miss that as it was always welcome to have a cup of tea on arrival. Generally a very well equipped kitchen. The knives in the kitchen could do with sharpening and some previous kitchen equipment such as a medium lidded casserole and medium frying pan were no longer there. More big sized/pint sized glasses too please. Obviously breakages over the years. Plenty of mugs, plates and bowls though which is excellent
Response from VrboOwner on 13 Jul 2026
Thank you for a lovely review of your stay. We will pass your comments onto the owner regarding the welcome pack and kitchen items and hopefully we can get these replaced. We hope to welcome you back again in the future.

Lovely stay once again at Hill Cottage

Lovely stay once again at Hill cottage and so lucky with the weather. Lovely garden and location although a mirror to see what is coming around the corner when driving in and out of the property would be useful as some cyclists and drivers come down that road so fast! Very well equipped, spacious and clean but some milk in the fridge and a couple of teabags would have been welcome on arrival. On previous stays there was always a welcome pack. Wine or biscuits are nice but a cup of tea is essential! We have stayed a few times now and look forward to coming again. The cottage has everything you could want.

lovely house and garden, good location and very well equipped

A couple of things- the fridge isn't working very well- I appreciate it was very hot last week but it was difficult to get the fridge to the correct temperature. The refuse and recycling bins were not collected whilst we were there and had not been collected the previous week either as they were very full
Response from VrboOwner on 18 Jul 2026
Thank you for letting us know about the issues, we will look into both, however, the waste collection across the county does seem to have been delayed due to the high temperatures we are experiencing but we will see if there is anything we can do to resolve it.
