The house was amazing. It has been done to a very high standard throughout and was perfect for our group of 13 people. Loads of space whether that be in the kitchen; the dining area or the sitting rooms. It was immaculately prepared for us and Richard and Isobel were proactive and responsive throughout the booking process and in the week leading up to us arriving. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone. Brilliant place and thank you!!

Wonderful accommodation in the heart of Keswick - shops, restaurants, and beautiful walks all steps away from the front door. Great light and modern furnishings throughout. Richard is probably the most proactively communicative and helpful host I’ve encountered with excellent local recommendations.

Really nice place to stay and great location in Keswick. Check in, check out and information really easy with use of the app link. Exactly as described. We will be back soon. Thanks Richard and Isabel 😊

We had a lovely stay, enjoyed by two separate families & group of friends coming together for a weekend of walking. Everyone really enjoyed the stay and it was perfect. The hosts couldn’t have been more helpful and we wouldn’t hesitate in returning. Thank you.

A fantastic house and location, exceeding our high expectations. The house is beautiful, was spotless and provided ample room for our group. Fitz Park across the road is great for kids and an unexpected bonus. Within 5 minutes walk you’re in the heart of Keswick and the location is a great base for all parts of the Lakes. Will definitely be back!

Our stay here was amazing. The location is perfect - there are plenty walks, bars, restaurants within 10-20 mins from the cottage. The cottage was super clean and had everything we needed. We would definitely book again!

We went to the Lake District last year and had to come back this year, Keswick didn’t disappoint and we thought it was better than Windermere!
Our host was excellent with their communication and the information they provided, making it easy to find and check in to their property. Lovely cute cottage with everything you need. Also gave some great local recommendations and the digital guide they provided was really useful.
We are a family of 3 with an 11 year old daughter and had plenty to do. The cottage is in the perfect location and a short walk to all the cafes, restaurants, shops, parks and pubs (plenty of craft beers) My favourite shop was an independent book store called Bookends - a book lovers heaven!
Can recommend - hike up to the summit of Catbells, hiring bikes to do the Keswick to Threlkeld route (10km flat) - amazing tea room in Threlkeld, Fitz Park is on your doorstep, Rookin House for horse riding and adventures and a walk around Derwent Water. Lots of memories made.

Our 2nd time at Richard and Isabel’s place, ideal location and really comfortable place to stay after a days walking in the lakes. Richard is friendly and easy to communicate with.

Our stay at Mickledoor Cottage was perfect. The fantastic location made it easy to find restaurants, bars, shops and walks to take in the scenery. Richard and Isabel provided a lot of useful information regarding the area which really helped us plan our trip. The cottage was superbly clean and had all the amenities required to make it a comfortable hassle free stay. There was plenty of space for the 4 of us plus our 2 little doggies. Will definitely be looking to return.

The place is located so well. From the doorstep you can walk 2minutes to the centre of town as well as straight on to walks round derwentwater, Latrigg and Catbells. Richard was very responsive to queries prior to arrival and went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed for our stay. The house has everything you could need and was perfectly laid out and spotless for our arrival. I would recommend Richard and Isabell as hosts and this property to anyone without hesitation.
