Relaxing cosy stay

The cottage is in a good location for walks and a short drive to Keswick, when we entered there was a lovely welcome pack in the kitchen for us and as soon as we unpacked we felt at home, having the river just out the back of the property was very nice as was the log burner.

Absolutely beautiful spot by the river, with the little bench and the sunrays. Everything possible thought of, complete kitchen, clean, neat and very tidy and did I mention how beautiful the location is...? We had a wonderful stay and I highly recommend it.

A gem of a cottage

Riverside is a comfortable, homely property in a stunning location. Situated right on the riverbank in beautiful Borrowdale, there was wildlife in abundance and lovely walks on the doorstep. The friendly owners provided a super welcome pack on arrival. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Riverside Cottage

Just a beautiful cottage in a wonderful setting and we were lucky enough to spend the week there … everything you need in comfort .. the best welcome pack we have ever had .. Jonathon is a great host and made us feel very welcome .. we enjoyed being surrounded by nature in the cottage gardens and we loved sitting on the little patio which is perfect for watching the birdlife on the river go by. I highly recommend Riverside Cottage in the stunning area of Borrowdale.

Riverside Cottage

Wonderful cottage set in the Borrowdale valley near Grange. Very nicely furnished and spotlessly clean. We enjoyed using the log burner (and free wood) for cosy evenings. The views of the garden and the river from every window were exceptional. You can enjoy countryside walks directly from here without using the car. Keswick and a whole host of things to do and see is just a few miles away. We wholeheartedly recommend this property.

Amazing home away from home

From the second you walk in, the thoughtfulness of the host is obvious. The house is extremely tidy, clean and organised yet full of the things that you need to live there. If you are staying for fell walks, the location is perfect. Easy drive to multiple setting off points such as Cat Bells and Scafell and also Keswick for food and shopping. The surroundings are so quiet with the river bubbling in the background. We will return for sure!!

Our second stay at Jonathons property and how we look forward to our third. The quiet location, by a magical stream facing the mountains of Cumbria is devastatingly beautiful. I cannot emphasise enough just how tranquil, relaxing and mesmerising the natural beauty is. It's like something straight out of 'Wind in the Willows'. Jonathon is a gracious and friendly host who will bend over backwards to ensure your stay is as comfortable as possible. There are walking trails beginning right in front of the property and it's only a short drive to Keswick, a bustling market town with an excellent selection of shops, cafes and bars. The cottage itself is, whilst period stone on the outside, fully fitted with all mod cons on the inside. A well equipped kitchen with dishwasher and washing machine, a log fireplace and a modern central heating system that keeps the place warm and dry, even on the wettest days. We had a marvellous stay and highly recommend it for others.

Lovely cottage in a stunning setting

Great communication prior to trip with owner who allowed us to park up early to get a walk in before check in. Lovely cottage with a kitchen that has everything you’re likely to need. Cosy lounge with dual fuel fire and enough room in the 2 double bed rooms for all your clobber. Plenty of birdlife to be seen from the comfort of your own lounge, including woodpeckers, nuthatches and treecreepers, amongst others. Johnathan and Jash make you feel at home and I would certainly recommend this cottage to friends and family, and the wider public.

Amazing riverside property

We spent a very happy week in this gorgeous house - very well equipped and comfortable. The garden, including a lovely balcony overlooking the river, is beautiful and perfect for bird watching. My sons enjoyed the proximity to the river and swam/paddle boarded (in February...!) There were a few issues with fuses blowing during the weekend we arrived, but this was quickly sorted and we had no more problems for the remainder of our stay. Thank you, Jonathan, for sorting out these problems, and for sharing your lovely house. We would love to return.

Wonderful

It was very hard to leave at the end of week!! The setting and view was amazing - along the river with the mountains as a back drop. The beautiful garden going right down to the river invited us to spend many lazy, warm afternoons snoozing under the trees or watching the wildlife. Since the river is shallow we also braved the chilly water on several occasions to wade, swim and look for the minnows. We did several walks of various difficulties that could be started right from the cottage, no need to drive. The hosts were very welcoming, always available for questions or a friendly chat. Made us feel very comfortable. It was a perfect holiday cottage for the family!

Riverside is exceptional. The peaceful backyard with the jetty and view is the best start you can have for your day. Great for kids, we brought a small fish net. The house is clean, comfortable and full of character and charm, and has everything you could possibly need. The living room and kitchen were very spacious, the Smart TV and the wifi worked perfectly. Plus every window looks out onto a beautiful backdrop. The welcome pack was fun. The location is great, you can walk or take a bus to many attractions. Jonathan was a very kind and helpful host. Saw to our every need, and shared tips and recommendations for lovely walking trails and good places to eat. Wonderful experience all in all, and borrowdale is a superb destination for vacation!

Prachtige omgeving

De eigenaars hebben er alles aan gedaan om het de gasten zo geriefelijk mogelijk te maken: alles ligt er netjes gekuist bij, er televisie, de keuken voorziet in alle moderne behoeften. Alleen het dubbele bed in de slaapkamer achteraan is wat krap als men thuis een groter bed gewoon is. Verder geen enkele negatieve opmerking. Het is een ideaal vertrekpunt om de omgeving te verkennen, zeker voor wandelaars.

Outstanding cottage, ideally situated, super clean, excellent hosts

Simply home from home. Log fire was amazing. Very thoughtful welcome pack, hosts on hand for anything you may need. One of the best places we’ve stayed in the the Lake District. Lovely walks from the door, outstanding grounds teeming with wildlife, quiet and secure. Highly recommend for up to 4 people.
