Host & Stay | The Bothy — Guest Reviews

Lovely home that was clean and spacious on arrival. Handy location for Keswick and local areas! Felt a very nice place to come back to after lots of walking!

This is a great rural place to stay with access to the lakes and stunning scenery right on the doorstep. Accommodation itself was very clean and comfortable. Charlie communicated very promptly at all times. Would certainly recommend and stay there again.

We had a great time at The Bothy! the log burner was brilliant in the cold evenings, and the location was perfect for exploring around the north lakes. The property was nice and quiet too. We had a small issue but it was rectified pretty promptly and in a satisfactory manner. We would certainly stay again.

Absolutely lovely place to stay. Perfect location, Bassenthwaite and loads of walk on the doorstep! Really clean and lots of amenities. The immersion heater had been turned off, but we found it and then had hot water on demand. Heating was great. My only complaint is the wifi - it was terrible. Could only connect when I went close to the door and there was no WiFi in the bedroom downstairs. Just needs a booster and then it would have been perfect and meant we could research walking trails easily. Will definitely be back!

A lovely quiet place to stay only 20 minute drive from Keswick and about 10 from Cockermouth. Lots of amenities and plenty of space for just the two of us and the little pooch. Lovely warm and cozy vibe, perfect if you’re looking for a quiet getaway.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Excellent location and amenities.

We throughly enjoyed our stay. The property had everything we needed and was absolutely beautiful inside.

Great accomodation. \nEverything we needed for our stay.\nWouldn't hesitate to come back again.

Nice stay but could have been better Positive: Stunning on the inside kitted out with everything you need. Negative: First thing is trying to find the house. The instructions sent prior to arrival stated to look out for the wooden sign. We expected the sign to be easy visible but it was in fact the opposite. The sign is facing the wrong way to on coming traffic so is not easy to spot while driving. The sign also needs some tlc because you cannot see the writing on it even when approached. The second thing is the bedding. The bedding smelt terrible. It smelt like it hadn’t been washed in a very long time, almost like old man sweat. This was not a pleasant smell and made our stay very uncomfortable. If the bedding was clean the beds would have been perfect because they are very comfy. Finally, this property cannot be listed as having wifi, it is none existent. We have spent the whole weekend without any signal or wifi which is not ideal when nowadays everything is on your phone. This ruined the trip for us because we couldn’t contact the other half of our party who was staying at a different location nor could we browse to plan our days out. If you want a weekend detox from your phone and the outside world then this is the place for you.

The house was clean, spacious, and we liked the aesthetic of it. Thank you for having us.

Inside was very good but signage was very poor Needs signage that can be seen clearly otherwise you missed the entrance from the road

Simply impeccable! -Mark

Lovely stay at this clean and well furnished cottage. There were 4 of us and there was plenty of room to move about. 2 bathrooms is always good too. Would stay again. You do need transport tho .

Had a lovely couple of nights stay, bothy was extremely homely and comfortable with beautiful features, everything needed was provided including plenty of firewood which was brilliant. Lovely views over the fields and great location to visit lake district. Hosts very imformative and responsive to any messages. Board games, books etc were also provided. Peaceful, relaxed stay would come back again if ever in area.
