Sunnycroft Reviews

Catherine
The property was fantastic for a large family grouping everyone could spread out and have their own space, and the property was well finished. There were a few maintenance issues on arrival, including a broken toilet seat and flush mechanism, and a microwave not fully working. However, when we called these were quickly resolved which was appreciated. While the property was fantastic, and we very much enjoyed staying there I believe that there are some areas which require deep cleaning, given the high cost of the property, I would have expected it to be spotless, which it wasn't. Areas that would need deep cleaned...there was a thick layer of dust and sweet wrappers etc from previous guests under the sofas which we had to clean on arrival also the mat in the kitchen is quite dirty extractor fan in one of the ensuites needs a good clean, and cobwebs in some areas. Generally we felt the property was great, but as I say, we would expect a higher standard of cleanliness and attention to detail for such an expensive property. We were also disappointed not to receive any kind of welcome basket, which is normal in many other selfcatering properties which we have stayed in.
We had a fantastic stay at Sunnycroft. The property has lots of space and a great size living room and dinning room for when everyone gets together. Perfect for a family gathering. Its in a great location, 1015 minute walk into Keswick and its right next to the Keswick to Threlkeld route. There is a nice pub and spar within a 5 minute walk. Would definitely recommend.
One Word, BEAUTIFUL. We had a wonderful weekend with all of the family thank you
Timothy
Great house for a family of ten. Excellent quality fixtures and fittings throughout the house. Had a wonderful weeks stay here would definitely recommend this property. Only problem we had were that all the outside bins were completely full on arrival , but the cottage company were brilliant removing the rubbish for us. The dish washer also broke, but someone came out the same day to try and fix it.
Elaine
Lovely well equipped property. We found everything we needed for a very enjoyable weekend. The main rooms and the bedrooms were all very comfortable. It is also well located for Keswick with plenty to do in town on a rainy day.
Lovely property ! Perfect for a large family group. Would definitely visit again
Penina
We had a fabulous stay! the house was spick and span! all the bathrooms worked so well, and we loved the gym! Thanks so much. PB and family
Tamsin
We had a wonderful stay at Sunnycroft. Its a beautiful house, well equipped house and we loved the decor. It was great for a family get together we had lovely mealtimes in the dining area and in the outdoor area. The location was great right by the disused railway track. Keswick is beautiful. We would definitely recommend. Our only negative was that the heating came on and there were no instructions how to turn it off. We just turned all the radiators off. We also needed to feed back that one of the tiles on the steps in the back had come a little loose. Thank you
Vanessa
What an amazing weekend the perfect spot to get out and about, or relax and snuggle in this stylish home. We loved the home gym and sunning ourselves outside in the pretty garden looking up into the hills and hearing the hubbub of the Keswick vibe , a total holiday experience.
