Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as clean, with one review specifically noting the house was clean. This suggests high standards of cleanliness are maintained.
The location is frequently highlighted as a positive feature, with its quiet setting and short walk to the town centre and local park, making it an ideal base for exploring Keswick.
Guests find the cottage comfortable, mentioning its airy yet cosy nature and suitability for pets, indicating a pleasant and relaxing stay.
Facilities are generally good, but some issues with heating instructions, a non-working towel rail, and broadband problems slightly mar the experience. The hot water issue in the wash basin also suggests room for improvement.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to assess this category.
About this property
Little Hallgarth, is a pretty, two-bedroom cottage within easy walking distance of the bustling market town of Keswick. The cottage has been lovingly and skilfully refurbished by the owners, who continually strive to make their guest’s stay as perfect as possible. Ideal for a family or two couples.
Leave your outdoor gear in the hallway and step into your delightful open plan lounge and dining area with attractive living flame gas fire in feature surround and pleasant views over the garden. Find your fully fitted and well-equipped shaker style kitchen in cream and your elegant glass dining table with decorative metal chairs placed nearby. Step through the glass door here and walk out onto the garden to listen to the soothing sound of the river nearby. Climb the stairs to find two pretty bedrooms: a twin bedroom and a double bedroom, both with views over the garden. The family power shower room is decorated in a retro baroque style. The whole house has been tastefully decorated with colours accented by the soft furnishings. Keswick offers specialist shops, excellent restaurants, cafes and pubs, market days twice a week, a renowned theatre, well-loved cinema and much more. Walk from the centre of Keswick, through Hope Park to the shore of beautiful Derwentwater, have a bite to eat at the Theatre by the Lakes Café, then enjoy a scenic cruise. You will have a choice of many walking trails right from your doorstep, from low-level circular walks to more adventurous hikes up to glorious high peaks. Walk up to lovely Catbells, Skiddaw or Latrigg, known as Keswick’s own fell. So much to see and do with a stay at Little Hallgarth.
The popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the North of the Lake District and has plenty to offer the visitor at any time of year. The town boasts numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, excellent parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing and great mountain biking opportunities, whilst the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley is only a few minutes walk from the town centre.

Loved all the artwork and little touches including a welcome basket. The new owners definitely took all the feedback on board from last owners reviews and we couldn't fault it. Lovely walk into town through beautiful Fitz park literally 5 mins along the river cut through at the back of property, so many gorgeous places to visit nearby spoilt for choice! We recommend Buttermere and Ullswater as our favourites but loads to do in Keswick too...try the ghost tour! Great choice of pubs and restaurants in walking distance, we enjoyed Casabella and Derwent walker cocktails and restaurant (tapas) Enjoy!

A nice quiet area with easy walk to Upper Fritz Park. My partner and our 2 beagles enjoy our stay in comfort in the cottage and visited many places in Keswick too.

8/10. Only 10mins walk to the centre of Keswick. Couple of minor points:- Some instructions for the heating would be nice Towel rail in the bathroom didn't appear to be working The hot water in the wash basin only comes out in trickle.
