Oak House Reviews

The house is well appointed and very comfortable with a hotel vibe lovely bedrooms. Oven tricky to navigate could do with clearer instructions. Also would like curtains as blinds don't cut out the light at night early morning. Electric carving knife and whisk would be useful. Apart from that a perfect stay.

This is our second time at Oak House and it is just as lovely as the last time, very well equipped, clean and just what you need to be able to relax on your holiday. We haven't stayed as a group of 8 before and I think it would be snug downstairs but the bedrooms and bathroom facilities are certainly good enough for that number thank you for your care and attention during our stay.

We really enjoyed our stay in Oak House. Its very close to the centre of Keswick which we really love. Its spacious and homely, very nicely decorated and well maintained.We would happily come back. We climbed Cat Bells which was challenging but enjoyable.We enjoyed Fellpack restaurant in Keswick which we would recommend.Thanks for a lovely stay and the complimentary welcome pack .

Kathryn

We are just back from a week at beautiful Oak House where we were joined by family members. We couldn't fault the house at all. Everything has been thought of, it has a lovely homely feel & very comfortable beds! The only small thing that we couldn't find was a pizza cutter in the otherwise superbly equipped kitchen! Location is great for easy access to Keswick on foot and also great for exploring the rest of the Lake District by car. We had no issue at all with parking apart from on the Saturday when we arrived we had to unload around the back then park in the adjacent street until 5pm which wasn't a problem & thereafter there was always space right outside the house. Thank you for providing such great accommodation which we hope to return to.

Alison

This was our third year running staying at oak house . .we all love it! Its like our second home! Everything is just perfect for us as a group of three couples. Such a beautifully renovated house with lovely rooms & its so comfortable with everything you need! Great location too within a short walk from all the amenities in Keswick with great walks on the doorstep! We will be back!!

Patricia

This property more than lives up to expectations it is well positioned to give easy access to the town and the neighbouring lakes. It is a warm and comfortable home from hope and well equipped for self catering. Its spacious feel means you dont feel crowded. It is very quiet at night which all helps you to relax. Cannot recommend it enough

The house was beautifully presented and so warm on a chilly March visit. We enjoyed the space, the lovely bathrooms and the location so close to Keswick town centre.

The property was just as it looks on the website. It was bright, clean, comfortable and well equipped. The en suite and bathrooms were large and new. The downstairs toilet was also handy. The welcome tray was a nice touch and the owner text on our first night to make sure all was ok for us. The location for Keswick town centre was ideal and approximately 5 minutes walk. Also, an excellent position for the many walkshikes on offer from Keswick. Although no dedicated parking, we had no problem parking on the streets. We had 3 cars between us as it was a family get together and we all managed to park less than a minutes walk away and were able to unload at the back of the house. A great find and would have no hesitation staying again in the future.

Oak house has the WOW factor. Every bedroombathroom are just stunning. Super comfy beds. The lounge and dining room are a great place to relax and eat together as a family after a full day out, the log burner was such a lovey addition as the weather was chilly.The kitchen has all mod cons, there is absolutely nothing we could or would want to change. 4 adults and 2 children the house suited us perfectly. Very central to town about a 15 minute walk, plenty of shops, pubs and restaurants. Parking is an issue but we managed to find 2 spaces literally in a side road around the corner and never needed to use the cars all week as the House is so central. Would 100 recommend Oak house its just perfect

How lovely is this house from walking in the door the warmth hit you . We have stayed in many houses in Keswick but Oak House is exceptional,from the decor to the outlay of the property there has been a lot of thought gone into it .Everything you need for a cozy relaxing holiday , we have booked again for next year , thank you Steven

A really well appointed and decorated house for a very comfortable stay . Wed certainly look to return. Many thanks.

4th time we have been back and this is a special place for us. Great location and great house. Our Jan family weekends away are precious and Oak House is at the heart of our time away.

Fabulous property ideally located in Keswick. Just right for our family group get together over Christmas. Well equipped, beautifully styled and very comfortable and cosy.

Danielle

Fantastic house. Great location. Everything you could possibly need and even the small things are thought about. We have booked to return next year.

Oak House had more than everything we needed to enjoy a great week in Keswick. Tastefully decorated and furnished, with quality and comfort a priority, it felt like a home rather than a holiday let. May not be a priority for some, but we were especially pleased to find it had its own recycling bins, a first for us in 9 years of staying in Keswick! Would love to return again.

This was our 4th stay in Oak House and we've already booked for next year. Great house, great location with everything you need provided. Sleeps up to 8 so ideal for a family break or a week away with friends. Thanks to Steve for doing such a good job in providing great accommodation. See you next year.

Angela

We have stayed in Oak House many times and love to return, it always feels like coming home. It is well maintained and well equipped and is ideally placed to walk into Keswick for shopping and catching the boats on Derwentwater. We can highly recommend for families and groups of friends.

Great location within walking distance of town. Lovely, quiet house had everything we needed. Would definitely visit again. Occasional need to park round the corner. Though, well worth it to be near to everything.

We have been at Keswick for the last 15 years staying in 7 different properties this has been by far the best. It has been beautifully decorated and kitted out, from lovely bathrooms to a well stocked kitchen. Eveyrthting for family lifr has been thought about and catered for and we had a fabulous week staying at Oak House. We are sad it was booked for next year but plan to be back soon. Thank you for a lovely stay

We had a wonderful stayOak House was perfect for 7 of us and we felt right at home as soon as we walked through the door. Clean, well equipped, comfortable. All 4 bedrooms are a good size with very comfortable beds. Parking was never a problem even in the late May bank holiday week. There are a good selection of books and games so no need to take your own like we did! Weve already booked a return stay which says everything.

Vanessa

This property is the best we have had in Keswick. It has everything you need and is done out very tastefully and feels like a proper home. Only minutes to the park and 10 minutes to the square in Keswick where u can go to lake shops restaurants. I hope to come back again and to Oak Cottage our first choice ,came as a family with our daughter husband and 2 children everything perfect for them all . Managed to park nearby and outside too.

Wonderful stay, just one gripe it would be nice if the previous occupants had removed items from the fridge, or whoever cleans the property had checked it had been done as we have no desire to consume them.

Shireen

Another wonderful stay in this lovely, comfortable and wellequipped house. Thank you

Thank you for a wonderful stay, the house is in a superb central location for all the amenities of Keswick and the beautiful surrounding Lake District. The facilities in the house are superb, very well thought through, perfectly suiting our group of friends.

Philip

An excellent property which was comfortable, well equipped and well maintained.

Best property we have ever stayed in!

Third time we have stayed here for a family weekend away and we love it Great ... Third time we have stayed here for a family weekend away and we love it Great house which is both comfortable and warm Great location too

An excellent house to stay in. Lovely decoration, spacious, good quality furniture, very well equipped kitchen, excellent bathrooms and heating, an ideal location for exploring Keswick and the Lakes. We really appreciated the house being decorated for Christmas and would gladly stay again.

Beautiful house in the heart of Keswick

Lovely property to stay in. Great location near town but always had parking in nearby roads. The property is spotlessly clean and very comfortably furnished. Plenty of cookware in the kitchen. Bathroom towels were soft and fluffy, the beds were divine. We would be delighted to return in the future. Thank you for sharing your property.

Angela

Oak House is a lovely property that we have stayed in on numerous occasions. The owners are caring and quick to respond to any issues not that there have been many over the years ! The property suits groups of friends and families and is very well equipped. It is well placed near the centre of Keswick but away from the main bustle of the high street. We will return again next year and look forward to it.

William

We always have such a lovely time at Oak Cottage, whether as a family holiday or with groups of friends. Oak Cottage is perfectly situated for getting out and about in the hills, or just for the shops, pubs and restaurants in Kesick.

Carole

Very happy with our stay. Perfect location. Well equipped clean and comfortable. Would definitely return should the opportunity arise.

Beautiful property with everything you need. Minor maintenance issue notified to owners, maybe due to previous occupants not letting them know. Bit tricky getting cars parked on Saturday but no problems after then. Liked the option of leaving via the back doorutility area as we could take off boots and coats. Boot warmers were welcome after a wet day. Short walk into town and 555 bus route close by. We didnt move the cars for a week and either walked from the house or took local transport. Would stay again.

Jacqueline

Fantastic stay. Lovely location. Lovely house. Has everything you need. Very good value for money.

An excellent property, well equipped, very tidy and comfortable and a great location for exploring Keswick and the North Lakes.

Shireen

Excellent house with everything we needed for our large group we particularly appreciated the plentiful supply of mugs and glasses, the large saucepans, the drying rack and the recycling info. The boot dryer was also wellused! The house was warm and comfortable. We'd love to come back. Thank you

Oak House was lovely, and as described. We had a fantastic week in a home away from home. Could not of asked for a more comfortable or well equipped property to spend a weeks holiday in.

Another great few days away. Oak House as usual spot on. Booked again for next year.

Alison

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oak House, it was perfect! It was in a great location & was very comfortable with everything we needed! We loved it so much we rebooked for next year whilst we were there!
