Very comfortable and well located holiday home

Our 2 families thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Riggside, the house is very comfortable - spending the majority of our time in the kitchen/dining/lounge area. It’s just 150yards to the local pub and then about 1mile walking in one direction to Keswick and 1mile in the opposite direction to the Lingholme estate so plenty to do on the doorstep and little need for the car.

Amazing location, amazing property, amazing holiday.

The house is situated in the lovely area of Portinscale. The house is up on a hill which gives amazing views that we never tired of looking at. The house was immaculate and felt like home immediately. Waking up those amazing views gave us the best possible start to the day and with Keswick a short walk this place was ideal for us. Cannot recommend highly enough and would add more stars to this review if I could.

Superb property

Had a fantastic long weekend with family. The property was in a great location, views were outstanding. Ample drive for parking which was great. It was spotless, beautiful and very well equipped, home from home. The owner Richard was lovely and couldn’t do enough to ensure we had a great time. Bottle of wine on arrival which was lovely. I would definitely come back and I would recommend this property to friends and family. Joanne 😊

A Perfect house in a perfect location

Spacious, Bright, Well Equipped, very clean, with stunning views and great walks from the door We have stayed in dozens of holiday homes in the Lake District and I have to say this is the best one we have had the pleasure of holidaying in Richard (The Owner) was perfect - answering any questions we had about the property or any information on the area (and beyond) Very quiet location but still easy walk to the local amenities and only a short walk along a good footpath into Keswick which has a large Co-op and Booths for your main shopping Very well equipped - including a very nice coffee machine :) We had the main double bedroom which was very spacious and had great views - Bed was so comfortable it was hard to leave it in the morning We loved the sun room and spent most of our time in there as we were lucky with the weather :) Lovely back garden if you want to sit out during the day dozens of great walks direct from the door so there is no need to use your car once you have arrived We will be using Riggside again without hesitation

8/10 Good

The house was great. Comfy and warm. The weather not do good.

Unfortunately there was scaffolding up around the house, and workers next door, starting at 8 a.m. I would stay again, and recommend it to friends. Richard was very friendly and helpful. The Lake District is beautiful !

Suzan We're so glad you enjoyed your stay and found it warm and comfy and that you would return and that you would also recommend Riggside. We are so sorry that we had scaffolding up on the right hand side of the house during your stay, this was necessary to carry out urgent repairs prior to your arrival, sorry we we're unable to get it down during your stay, this was beyond our control.

Great House - Lovely location!

Riggside provided everything we needed. Best thing about the house was plenty of space. Even with 7 of us it never felt crowded, and we spent nearly the whole time in the kitchen, which was such a great living space. Highly recommended, would love to go back.

Beautiful house in beautiful surroundings

We had a lovely four day weekend at Riggside. It is very well equipped and cosy and very well placed for exploring Keswick and the lakes. We loved the seating area in the kitchen and could have sat drinking the tassimo coffees all day! We loved the TV and cosy fire in the master bedroom too. Great touches that set it apart from other cottages.
