Field House Reviews

The house is amazing! the best we have stayed in and so well presented with fantastic attention to detail. Ideally located in the heart of Borrowdale with wonderful views of Maiden Moor from the Garden and Hot Tub, which provided a perfect end to days spent on the fells, most of which are easily accessed from the house. Thank you Hazel and Steve nothing was too much trouble, loved that you were on hand so that we could take advantage of your local knowledge. We can assure you that when we get the chance we will be back.
What an incredible place! Beautiful location and the cottage itself is superb. Hazel and Steve could not be more helpful. Comfy beds, fluffy towels, lots of hot water and a Hot Tub with amazing views and umbrella hats for when it is raining!. The welcome Pack was brilliant and the little extras were really appreciated. Good parking and buses into Keswick virtually at the end of the drive on nonwalking days. We finished our 214th wainwright on this holiday and I cannot think of a nicer place to be to celebrate. We will definitely be back.
We had a fabulous week at Field House. Authentic old cottage which has been beautifully restored to a very high standard with love. Every amenity is provided in the cottage including a lovely welcome pack which we were grateful for. We enjoyed the private garden which is not overlooked complete with a lovely hot tub to enjoy after a days walking with beautiful views over Maiden Moor. So quiet and peaceful with only the sheep and lambs bleating. Hazel and Steve are the perfect hosts and are around or contactable if needed and are always willing to share local walks and knowledge. Thank you, we will be back. Iola and Stephen
