Great place to stay. Amazing views from the bedroom, lounge, decking area and sun house. Also, has a secure enclosed garden for people with dogs. Looking to book again for next year. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

We absolutely loved our stay at Holly Bank. Entry was very easy via the keysafe. Every little touch and home comfort had been thought of - the beds were extremely comfortable, the kitchen was the most well-equipped of any holiday let I have previously stayed in, and the under floor heating in the ensuite bathrooms was an absolute treat! Couple all this with the incredible views, and it made for the perfect Lake District stay. Would definitely go again and recommend to friends. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

This was our 4th visit to Holly Bank and again it didn't disappoint. Plenty of room for 6 adults, 2 children and the dog. The cottage, as usual, was very clean and tidy. The only downside was the patio furniture, which has been commented on by previous occupants. There was only 4 chairs, one of which was broken, which is not enough for 8 people. The spare chairs in the summer house were also broken. Definitely need replacing. Luckily we took fishing chairs with us. Glad to see the decking was replaced since we stayed last year. Again, the children were grateful for the teddy bears left on their beds, thank you. We were lucky enough to see a red squirrel every day. The weather was also kind to us. Will certainly return again. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Holly Bank Cottage was an ideal break for our family, it had everything we needed to enjoy our stay in the Lake District. As a family we have been staying in self catering accommodation for 36 years and this cottage had the best equipped kitchen we have experienced. The accommodation was clean on arrival, there was plenty of space for 7 adults, although my daughter did find it an experience sleeping on a top bunk for the first time in years, as she couldn’t get into the bottom bunk. The grounds are extensive, a little hilly but our dogs did enjoy hunting for rabbits and following the scents of the wildlife around the garden. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

A quiet area with breathtaking views, well appointed and comfortable. Easy walk to village with good local pub and only 15mins from main town of Keswick and other places of interest. Review independently collected and verified by Reevoo

Gathered my family here for Christmas week, 6 adults, 2 children and 3 dogs. Everything we needed, the owner had put up lovely decorations and a real Christmas tree beautiful. Plenty of room for our family to have quiet time.We all love walking so plenty of signed foot paths and a friendly pub close by in the village. Can’t recommend Holly Bank enough, we’ve booked again for a different time of your.

The views from Holly Bank are amazing and truly gold star. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for the house. Several things let it down for us. The biggest issue was the fact that there is no mention of a public right of way in the description. While sitting in bed with a cup of tea admiring the view in the morning were startled on several occasions by the appearance of people walking directly past the the window! The dining chairs in the kitchen and conservatory were falling apart. One gave way while our son was holding his 5 month old daughter, no injuries but could have been worse. The decking outside the kitchen and conservatory is very slippery and rotten in places. There is a large area of damp on the wall by the window in the main bedroom. We didn’t use the summerhouse as the view is obscured by the trees in front of it. The boot room is more of a wood store, full of spiders and not accessible directly from within the house. On the positive side. The views from the house and conservatory are stunning, with Skiddaw to the left and Bassenthwaite lake to the front. The sunset over the lake one evening was incredible. We saw red squirrels in the garden, numerous wild birds and could hear owls all around at night time. The Sun Inn, just 10 minutes walk into the village, is friendly and serves good food and real ale. Keswick and Cockermouth are a 15 minute drive away with good selection of shops and eateries. Good market in Keswick on Thursday and Saturday. We were a party of 6 adults, one baby and 3 dogs and the property accommodated all of us comfortably.

Great property, views second to none. Well equipped, a couple of little tweaks would make it a 10/10, nothing major, I left a couple of suggestions in the book provided.

We had the most amazing time. My son got married at Armthwaite Hall. We would go there again my grandchildren loved every minute. The any down fall is the public foot path. Dogs are not kept on leads. Went out with my dog and 2 dogs being walked apeared out of no were. We had young children with us so had to check that unleashed dogs other than our pets were not about. Would love to go back its amazing.

Beautiful cottage, lovely location, amazing weather. This is our third visit and we will definitely be back again. The grandchildren loved the lion teddies left for them, thank you. Put a couple of things in the improvement book, but nothing that spoiled our holiday and enjoyment of the cottage.

The cottage was ideal for walks etc. The view was amazing and nice wildlife. Everything you needed was there and the lion cubs left for my grandchildren was a lovely touch. Drive steep but gave us no trouble and at one point had four cars.

We were aware there was a public footpath through the grounds of the property but did not expect a large party of teenagers peering in the windows of the bedrooms

Fantastic cottage - visited many times. Views are second to none. House is lovely inside and it feels like our second home. Downsides: 1) Access into the house is extremely poor for anyone with limited mobility - many narrow concrete steps with no (or wobbly) handrails. Sadly we may not be able to return because of this. 2) Bedrooms, other than the master bedroom, are very small.

Lovely spacious cottage, kids loved the garden with stream, the woods and garden house. Good location for local and further afield walks. Downside was the journey to the outskirts of Keswick or Cockermouth for food shopping. Ideal for summer with patio area.
