"Had a lovely week at brimbles."
Property has everything you need. Only downside was towards the end of the week it turned quite cold and the little heaters provided didn't seem to help. Storage heaters didn't seem to provide any heat either although we have no experience of these. Lovely walks from the door, parking which is a bonus and the conservatory and garden was lovely to sit in in the evening.

"In a lovely quiet cul-desac."
The kitchen was adequate but the fridge was very small.The double bed was comfortable but no drawer space but there were shelves.
The living room was comfortable.
Because of the lack of true central heating could be cold in the winter.
Lastly NO WiFi. We should have checked properly. Although in a pleasant area would not go again.

"Lovely little bungalow in a really quiet location but still only 10-15 minutes easy walk into keswick and a great location to do latrigg and Skiddaw as it's located right by the path."
Facilities inside seemed fine never really used the Kitchen we ate out on our hikes. Some nice views of latrigg from the front window and nice garden with plenty of parking and pheasant pub close by (lovely food)

"Brimbles is a lovely bungalow which made our holiday most enjoyable."
The listing did not indicate that it was situated on the outskirts of the town.. The walk to and from town was quite a distance.. If we had known we may not have chosen this bungalow..

"Decent 3 star facilities in a quiet cul-de-sac ten minutes walk from the town centre."
I have stayed in this cottage before, and would stay again, but in 2023 is wi-fi really too much to ask?

"Pleasant homely bungalow."
Very pleased with location as we could walk into town and it was nice and quiet where we were. Conservatory was good for watching the rabbits on the lawn - just a slight concern about the steps down from the kitchen, although hand rails are provided. Plenty of info provided on how to use the facilities and lots of nice touches, thank you.

"We were aware that there was no WiFi when we booked."
I notice that there is a scheme for fibre WiFi installations in the area, so it would be great to install it to Brimbles. That being said it didn't spoil our stay

"This is the second stay we have had at Brimbles."
On the whole we like it, however this latest 2 week stay was slightly marred by a fault in the electrical system when a trip switch tripped out twice in one day with no apparent reason. The situation of maintenance was slightly confusing with the first port of call being the owner rather than Sykes Cottages so the numbers called on the day were a little confusing.

"Brimbles has everything you need for a stay in Keswick."
It was clean and comfortable. The conservatory is lovely to eat in and watch the wildlife that visits. We had good weather during our stay so the garden furniture was a bonus to sit out in in the evening. Parking space is welcome and it is only a short walk into the town center. We did have an issue with the TV but lakelovers is dealing with this and it didn't spoil our stay.

"The holiday cottage is well equipped, I would say that the paint colours on the walls are very relaxing."
The twin cot easily fits a travel cot in. Though we didn't know a highchair and cot were provided so we brought our own.
Although a new washing up bowl and thing to drain cutlery would have improved the washing up exsperence.
The views are lovely and we enjoy the lush foliage in the garden.
I enjoyed the short walk into town though the park to nearby the pencil factory.
The park has lots of goid quality children's play equipment. The fridge also has a draw sized freezer compartment, which is useful. We enjoyed sitting in the conservatory.

"As on previous stays we found the cottage to be comfortable, and convenient, and extremely clean."
The accommodation provided everything which we needed but lacked wi-fi. We will without doubt book this accommodation in the future.

"The holiday cottage is conveniently located, very clean and the living room is very comfortable, but everything else about the property is cheap, cheap, cheap."
No wifi, which I only realised after booking, and wouldn't be an issue but we have no mobile service either.
Other issues -
Decor in the property is extremely dated, its like being back in the 80s.
Not enough hooks or rails for damp towels.
TV remote doesn't work.
No remote for the DVD player at all
Hardly any loo roll left when we arrived so we had to do without until we could work out where the nearest shop was (not easy with no internet).
Not enough power sockets in the bedrooms.
No dishwasher or freezer
Kitchen poorly equipped
Table in the conservatory very small for 4 people and felt very flimsy
No courtesy books, games or puzzles
Very disappointing seeing as we paid nearly £1000 for this property for a week. Would not come back here.

"Really good property."
Comfortable,clean,warm and lots of space. I onlt realised after I booked that there is NO WIFI at the property. Wifi would have been great as poor data roaming and poor mobile coverage in Cumbria.
