Rickerby Grange Country House

Rickerby Grange Country House

10/10 Excellent
"A lovely property with great charm, perfectly located in a quiet area just outside of Keswick. It was clean, and considerably larger than expected; this extra space included a walk-in wardrobe/closet. The view out of the window of the mountains was amazing. Parking was free and ample. All staff were amazing, polite and helpful. There were choices for a hot breakfast (fill out a menu card the day before),as well as cereals, juice, etc. We particularly liked that there was spare coffee/sugar/toilet paper by the front door, and extra towels if required in baskets on the landing - you simply couldn't run out of anything. Before arrival, I was a little concerned about the self checking in, but it was so easy; let yourself into the building with the security code given, look for your name and room number on the board inside the door, find room (the door will be unlocked) and the key is on the bed. We walked into Keswick in less than 20 mins, plus explored some of the local area too. It's perfectly located as a base for exploring the local mountains. Will definitely be our first choice next time we're in the area. Thank you! ☺️"
