3 The Townhouse

Historic reviews on this property have been mixed but we really enjoyed our stay. The property is located on a busy road but very conveniently close to Keswick town centre with its shops, restaurants and pobs. The long stay car park is c100m. Be aware there is a bus stop outside the property. There is road noise but we were out during the day and we were not disturbed at night. The layout of the property is slightly unusual with the lounge on the middle floor but this takes advantage of the impressive distant hill views. The lounge was comfortable. We used the double bedroom on the ground floor which was spacious and the bed comfortable. The bathroom with shower was the other side of the kitchen and all worked well. The kitchen was well equipped. The second bedroom used was on the top floor. Again, this was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom on the middle floor included a shower which worked well. The outdoor space is very limited and not particularly attractive and, as such, we didn't use. Instead we enjoyed early evening drinks in the outdoor area of Keswick Brewing Company (100m away, near the car park). Overall, the property was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The App supplied was detailed with clear instructions. We really enjoyed out stay.

Enjoyed our stay, (4 adults) plenty of space and very handy for the town. Downstairs bedroom is handy for those who can't manage the stairs but the bed is very creaky.

Needed a 3/4 bed property at short notice for the May half term week and the lovely people at Keswick Cottages came up with this. Great location – on quite a main road into Keswick but the traffic noise didn’t bother us at all as windows and doors are well insulated. Lovely lounge and great views from the upstairs bedrooms. Keswick Cottages were very helpful and provided an extra quilt we needed. The kitchen/diner is quite small for 8 people to sit around the table and the mismatch of odd chairs and a bench was a shame, but we managed OK. The main problem for us was that the ground floor double bedroom had an extremely noisy bedstead and uncomfortable mattress – it was impossible for one person to move a muscle without making a lot of noise and shaking and waking the other person. I think the first-floor bedroom was the same, but we only had one person in that. Other minor issues which may or may not bother other guests were: rear patio looking onto piles of other properties’ rubbish; no cupboard space for food in the kitchen, no trays to carry food to the upstairs lounge; very weak wifi; TV can’t show Netflix unless you have the old ad-free service; no change of sheets/towels after more than a week; no cleaning or clothes washing products provided; minimal “welcome pack” (Keswick Cottages do highlight this, so we were prepared, but seems very mean-spirited to provide only 2 toilet roles and 4 tea bags for an 8 person house for 10 days). But overall, enjoyed our 10 days there.

Such a lovely old house, loved all the original features. We spent a lot of time relaxing there as it was such a lovely place to be

We stayed at 3 The Townhouses for a week and found the house to be very clean and tidy upon arrival. Slight issue at check-in with the key not being in the key-safe, but the host came round promptly to let us in, so not much of a drama. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, plates, cups and glasses. Location in the centre of town was very convenient for us as my in-laws have mobility issues. Bus stop immediately outside the property but didnt experience any privacy or noise issues due to the living accommodation being on the first floor and the windows having good insulation. Really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property for a group of up to 6, but perfect for a group of 4 like us. Thanks for the lovely stay.
