Herdwick View in Bassenthwaite Reviews

Verified Customer Review
26th July 2025
Excellent location, away from hustle and bustle tourism, but only 15min car drive to Keswick. Very modern house, luxurious and private. Plenty bathrooms, hot tubs, and a full and spacious kitchen. Owners are very hospitable, and go out of their ways to give you a good time.

Unlikely to return again, this was our second visit.Really not as welcoming as the first time. Down to the point on arrival no small talk. Then on to the next money paying customer. Not at all helpfull.House not as clean, I appreciate they have work to do on the grounds but a simple explanation before starting work in the garden while we we're sat out really wouldn't have gone amiss. Appalling customer service.
