We love this property for it's fantastic location and proximity to loads of scenic walks.It's important to be dog friendly and the garden and adjoining wood are perfect as you are immersed by nature and it's so peaceful.Local pubs and a great farm shop nearby all add to the experience.The cottage is well equipped and cosy.

Cottage was very well laid out with stunning scenic views. Very peaceful and quiet plenty wildlife to see.One negative was the cushions on the sofa were covered in dogs hairs not a good point if you don't have dogs.

Thank you for the feedback and I'm very sorry about the dog hairs, the cleaners are normally very thorough but I will point this out to them. Otherwise I hope you enjoyed your stay.

A lovely, well appointed cottage in The Lake District. Spectacular view and easy access to the Motorway, Penrith and Keswick. A perfect spot with possible pheasant sightings! Highly recommend a stay at Pete and Debbie's Erika's Cottage.

This property is ideally located to explore Keswick and surrounding area. For the two of us plus a dog the outdoor space is always important and the garden is perfect and enclosed.The cottage really has everything you need plus an amazing farm shop nearby. Local pub in Threlkeld is handy for meals.Personally though it is the view onto the hills which is just stunning and easy access to some great walks which sells it for me. Beside the cottage is a small wood so whichever window you look out of nature is all around and this is why we will return again.

A comfortable cottage perfectly located. Quiet and rural feeling yet accessible to Keswick. Ideal for walking the fells and also mooching the shops and restaurants in Keswick, Basecamp etc. The cottage was cosy and well equipped, perfect to come back to after a day out exploring.

Lovely cottage, idea base for walking in the Lakes. We stayed in February, with snow on the ground. The view of Blencathra is stunning and the heating in the cottage made us feel very cosy.

Amazing cottage with the most spectacular views. The property itself was very well stocked with everything you may need for a relaxing stay; kitchen is perfect with plenty of crockery, pots and pans etc. The bedroom is so relaxing... had the best nights' sleep in the super comfy bed; and the lounge area too... very comfortable, warm and cosy with the most amazing views. We loved our stay at this cottage and did some wonderful walks locally. I can recommend the farm shop up the road... very tasty local produce; meat, cakes and lovely gifts too. All in all, this was a perfectly relaxing 3 day break, and we will definitely return.

Very clean inside and welcoming cottage. Lovely mountain few from the main cottage window and beautiful surrounding area.A possible suggestion though is to have a car port outside the cottage as our car got covered in bird poo during our 3 night stay due to where the parking facility is for the cottage.About 15 minutes drive away from Keswick which is very handy too. Would highly recommend The Kingfisher in Keswick if you like fish and chips! Delicious and very reasonably priced!
