Set back in a quiet courtyard, this two bedroom bungalow sleeps 2-3 people and is ideally positioned for all the town centre has to offer.

Excellent location

Sams cottage sits in an excellent location in the centre of Keswick. Not directly off the street, but through a narrow archway. Convenience store across the road any many restaurants and bars only feet away. The lake is approx 15min walk away.
Cottage is well equipped and comfortable, however would benefit from a king sized bed. If you bring a dog the only close green space is St John's Church which is 5 mins up the road.



So accessible and comfortable.

Really lovely cottage, thoughtfully adapted. Just about perfect. BUT parking was not suitable for a large wheelchair adapted vehicle. We couldn’t get ours down the access road. The road was too narrow. We had to park on the main road, unload our equipment and bags, then find somewhere to park. The letting agents were very good. They supplied us with a parking permit for our two week stay. Luckily, family were able to meet us at the end of our holiday and assist with moving all our equipment etc out of the cottage.
We loved the cottage but feel it should be made very clear that parking is not suitable for large WAVs.

The access was a problem and we slightly damaged our car on the last day.would have liked a bigger double bed but otherwise a good stay and very handy to the centre.

I feel that lighting under kitchen wall cabinets would be a benifit as that area is dar
Also blackout blinds would be appreciated in bedroom as awakened at 5.30 am with daylight.
Felt that there was a smell from drain in bathroom sink .
When I pulled suitcase from under bed it was covered in dust .
Unfortunately there was a power cut when we were at cottage and there was no torch to help with visibility and emergency number we contacted returned our call next morning which did not help the situation.
Apart from these issues we love Keswick and hope to return next year to Sam’s Cottage as it is a perfect accommodation for my son’s needs.

The cottage is lovely however the road to it is very narrow. I scratched my car badly, my fault. When turning right, stop and reverse to line your car up correctly, you may annoy other impatient drivers but do it to save the cost of car repair when you get home. The shower room is suberb but the wash basin is very small. There's 1 entrance & no garden for dogs. It hadn't been cleaned throughly before we arrived, but the cleaner was sent in to rectify matters. Other local holiday makers used the bins I thought were ours. Plenty of room in the lounge/kitchen to fit the dog beds we took with us and it didn't look over crowded. I have complained here, mentioning all my groans, but really a well equipped apartment right in the centre of Keswick. What more could you ask for!

Sam's cottage is a great location. You can just leave your car parked and not move it all week. The alley way is a bit tight to get down though.

Very comfortable and has everything you need.

Thank you so much for your review for Sam's Cottage. We are so glad you found your stay comfortable and that you had everything you needed. We understand it is a narrow alleyway and do advise that only medium to small cars use that allocated parking space. If you cannot use that car parking space, we do provide one parking permit for the long stay car parks. We hope to welcome you back soon!

Clean and functional

Lovely place and great location. Very clean and spacious. Could have done with an alternative to the sofa. Maybe an armchair for those that struggle to get up off a sofa. Driveway is extremely narrow and anything wider than a Polo will struggle.

A very nice well presented modern cottage right in the heart of Keswick. This is in an excellent position with shops, pubs & restaurants on your doorstep. There is even a well stocked open all hours store just through the arch across the street.
As mentioned before the access through the arch into the parking area is fairly tight, however we took our SUV through slowly with room to spare either side turning quite easily once in.
This cottage is equipped with good set up for mobility, which helped my 91 year old dad move around and access the rooms and bathroom.

Thank you so much for your review of Sam's Cottage. We agree that Sam's Cottage is situated perfectly to enjoy the facilities of Keswick. We understand it is a narrow alleyway and do advise that only medium to small cars use that allocated parking space. We are glad you appreciated that Sam's Cottage was equipped for your Dad, Sam's Cottage was built with the property owner's 16 year old nephew who suffers from cerebral palsy in mind, making it Keswick's first and only fully accessible holiday let. We hope to welcome you back again!

Lovely stay

Sam's cottage is a good, central location with comfortable bed, sofa and excellent showers.
Thank you to Keswick cottages staff member for hearing our concerns and supplying some kitchen utensils that were missing when we arrived.
Starter pack of washing up liquid, dishwasher tabs and one loo roll only go so far, so be prepared to take extras unless you want to buy more once in Keswick.
Our big issue was with the narrow access to the property, as mentioned on previous reviews. Despite being forewarned we scraped our car on arrival ( not the best start to the week!).
A measurement of the width of the alley would be helpful as we don't consider our car to be large (Seat Leon). On arrival you need to be prepared to align your car at right angles to the street and approach the alley straight on, trying not to squash any passing pedestrians on St. John's Street (of which there are many on Saturday afternoon).



A lovely property centrally based

A lovely single storey property, very spacious and well adapted for wheelchair users. In a great central location but a very narrow back street to reverse down to park.so once we were parked the car stayed put! All clean and comfortable for most, although I walk with crutches and have bad hip arthritis so the sofa was very low down for me and difficult to get up front. Everything was welcoming and clean. I would definitely recommend it as the location is brilliant with shops, cafes and restaurants on the doorstep and lovely walks minutes away which the rest of the family and the dog loved!

Sam's Cottage is a spacious and comfortable apartment. It was spotlessly clean on arrival and has everything you need for self-catering. Perfect location in the centre of Keswick.

A lovely well fitted bungalow well situated within easy reach of all facilities. But VERY NARROW concealed entrance ( with no warning ). Fittings good but in wheelchair I found the wash basin to small & low with no adjoining shelf for tooth brush etc.
A map would help find property in very busy streets. Generally very good.



Good but...

The flat is accessible for wheelchair users as advertised, clean and spacious and very handy for central Keswick.
BUT
The interior is probably designed for a wheelchair user with a carer - for example it is not possible to reach the shower controls from the shower.
The alley into the yard is very narrow - OK for a small car but you won't get a van type WAV down there. Once you are in the yard it is very difficult to turn round, it's only possible if the neighbour's car isn't there.
The equipment was strangely lacking in essentials, no teapot, cafetiere or breadknife! The oven is very slow.
Recommendation is Yes but beware, especially the narrow access.

On a return visit to Sams cottage in Keswick for a spring break. Myself and my wife have stayed here several times as it is a pleasant cottage, excellently situated for ease of access to Keswick as it is right at the heart of the town but tucked away so you don’t get any noise.

Ideally located for the town. Walks can be started right from the doorstep. very warm and plenty of hot water.

Only challenge is getting a car down the alleyway to use the allocated parking space. Bring a small car!!
