This is our 3rd visit to Manor Cottage, and once again, it didn't disapppoint. Thr location is fantastic - we only had to use the car once during our week. The garden was perfect for our dog - it was fully enclosed, so we knew he could be off lead without any worry of escaping. The cottage is so comfortable and very well equipped.

Fantastic area, lovely walk into Keswick which has great shops. Tons of walks on the doorstep and the chalet tearoom was great. Marina nearby for boat trips. Everywhere is so dog friendly. Cottage was lovely and cosy. Kitchen was well equipped. Only downside was that they didnt provide a cot for our baby.

A great cottage in a wonderful location. Plenty of space in the cottage and it's very comfortable. The garden is secure for dogs. There is a lovely tea shop just round the corner and Keswick is a only short drive away. You can walk to Derwentwater easily from the door. All in all a great cottage!
