Easy to find with off street parking. 15 min walk to town, longer at night when park is closed.
Large modern bathroom with tub and shower. 2nd bdrm small with very little room for luggage. Well appointed kitchen but no dishwasher.
Good tv with all channels, netflix, Prime.
Great pub next.
Good for family.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Poachers cottage, it is ideally situated for walks in the hills and access to Keswick.Some of decor is a little dated but it was nice and clean and there was everything we needed for our stay. It was great value for money and I would recommend to others.

This is the third time we have booked this cottage, which says a lot.
This is the third time we have booked this cottage, which says a lot. We find it clean and comfortable and within walking distance of all the amenities we require. Perhaps the one negative comment we would make is that the traffic noise from the road outside might be reduced by double glazing. however this would not stop us returning as the road is quiet at night.

Really enjoyed our stay.
Really enjoyed our stay. Excellent location. Short stroll in to town and excellent pub and cafe across road.
Slight damp smell to kitchen on arrival but didn't spoil anything. Put it down to age of property.
Will stop again.

The cottage is very comfortable and excellent location for accessing Keswick and the fells. Very good parking. Interior is very good, nicely furnished with all the amenities you would hope to find. Very clean and tidy. For me could have done with longer bed. Only drawback is if you want it there really is no garden or patio area just a small access yard.
