The cottage was very clean, warm and cosy. Bathrooms and kitchens are new, kitchen could do with a bit more crockery and cutlery so you can load the dishwasher rather than having to keep washing them. Worked really well for our 3 night stay and liked the location, easy to walk or drive into Keswick. For longer I think we'd need a laundry or drying room as no washing facilities or anywhere to dry clothes.

Such a beautiful location and a stunning property! Was spotlessly clean, very warm and cosy and had everything in there you needed! Hot tub was lovely too and the view from the rear garden was so relaxing! Easy 30 min walk in to the centre of Keswick. Will definitely stay again in the future.

Lovely quiet location. Loved the railway track walk in to Keswick. Clean and well kept area. It should be clear in the description that the holiday park is outside Keswick stating it is accessible by walking 30 minutes or driving 10 minutes.We were disappointed not to be closer to our friends this holiday.

Leslie

Our rental property was undergoing renovation upon our arrival. We were upgraded to a luxury lodge instead. The lodge was exceptional in every aspect. Staff were very friendly and helpful.We had not visited Low Briery for a few years but we will be back.

Ensuite shower nonexistent, very poor water pressure meaning all 4 guests had to use one rather than being able to use both as advertised. Headboard in bedroom adjoining the ensuite very loose and away from the wall which caused disturbances through the night for all Thick of dust on top of picture frame in nonensuite bathroom, clearly hadn't been wiped for months as there was much that much dust. Cupboard door in kitchen off its hinges, hanging off which was a hazard should the door have come off. Lack of teatowels and pan scrubbers clearly a money making exercise as other towels could be rented for additional costing!? Property was excessively hot but we had no control over the heating at all and this caused a lot of discomfort for a person who has fibromyalgia sensitive to temperatures No welcome pack like you see in all other lets this was quite hostile and upsetting as you would expect to see nice little biscuits, teacoffee to welcome you....but nothing Lack of accessibility which caused huge upset for my parents no hand rails down the very slippy and poorly positioned slate steps to the entrance of the property. No guard rails for the shower facilities, which my mother needs but we didn't know there was a lack of such things at time of booking. It upset my mother's dignity and she felt embarrassed that she needed so much help around the property as a result of Lack of thought around this property. We even had to request a bath mat to make the showerbath safer but due to lack of walk in shower ensuite water pressure my mother felt this really impacted her hygiene as unable to use a shower over bath facility. The staff on site however were helpful and did offer to change us to a different let however this would have been more upheaval for frail parents with mobility issues. We will not be going back to Low Briery holiday park, for the money we expected much more for 625 for low season. A very disappointing stay but more upsetting is lack of accessibility and the fact there is no mention of this in the cottage details customers should be made aware of this prior to booking so they can seek a let with accessibility in mind. It should be detailed within the writeupspecification Please be mindful when booking and to request further information regarding accessibility should this be something you require.

Beverley

Great little house, great for 2 people and a dog, probably would be a bit of a squeeze with 4 people. Clean and tidy, I took washing up liquid and dishcloths etc, but this was all provided

Jennie

The cottage in Low Briery Holiday Park was perfect in every way clean, comfortable, crisp white linen, the beautiful River Greta right outside, and some great walks right on the doorstep. We won't hesitate in coming back here.
