We spent our honeymoon at Croft Corner. On arrival there was a complementary tray of tea, coffee and cake. There was also fresh flowers, a box of chocolates and a card congratulating us for our wedding. A very lovely personal touch. It exceeded all our expectations. The lounge, bedroom and bathroom are more spacious than they look on the website. The cottage is equipped with everything you could possibly need. The private garden is beautiful and the view of skidaw and the surrounding fells is stunning. Would highly recommend.

We stayed at Croftside during September this year and had the perfect stay. It is in the quietest of locations yet still close to Keswick and so many walks nearby with only a short drive. The house was very comfortable and because the bedrooms and bathrooms were two floors apart, we felt we had privacy with the communal area in the middle. Each floor has wonderful views over the surrounding hills and it was a tranquil haven. There was a lovely private garden area with table and chairs which would be lovely in drier weather!! Ample space to park two cars in the yard. Jan made us really welcome upon arrival and had made the house very Covid friendly so we felt relaxed and safe. The welcome tray was great. After that, we hardly saw them but knowing they were next door to deal with anything that may arise, was comforting. We felt happier dealing with an owner than a company and this was one reason we chose to book Croftside. The week was rather wet but with the washing machine and drying room attached, we could dry our clothes and boots overnight. It was very cosy. There was plenty of space to hang clothing and keep belongings. We decided not to eat out and the kitchen was very well equipped and made self catering easy. We will definitely stay at Croftside again and look forward to returning.

Highly recommend Croft Side at Croft House for a relaxing holiday. Jan and David are wonderful hosts who provide very welcoming and thoughtful touches. We really appreciated the wine, lovely biscuits, laid out tea set and flowers on arrival. The home is located in a beautifully area of the Lakes District and an easy walk to the nearby village of Keswick - the Pheasant Inn was lovely for dinner. The house offers magnificent views over the Cumbrian Mountains with Skiddaw being the closest for hiking. Well appointed throughout, the bed was comfortable, the two bathrooms were modern as was the kitchen which had all the requirements needed for creating meals. The lounge room provided comfortable seating and fabulous views can be seen from every room of the home. It is a quiet location with sheep and cattle in nearby pastures but still so close to Keswick and access to the major tourist sights the Lakes District has to offer. The house is very well presented and the gardens offer a relaxing place to enjoy the outdoors.

Croftside is the perfect cottage to stay at in The Lake District. My friend and I wanted to stay somewhere that felt remote, but also close to the shops/pubs etc if needed. Literally a few minutes drive or a pleasant walk into Keswick, yet when sat out in the garden we felt in the middle of nowhere. There are beautiful views and many walks nearby where a car is not needed. The cottage itself is clean and spacious and anything we needed it had. After booking, communication with Jan was good via email, if needed. During our stay everything ran smoothly and it felt like home pretty quickly! The website for this property is accurate so we were not disappointed! There was plenty of drawer and wardrobe space and a variety of blankets and duvets if needed. The kitchen had everything we needed which was good as we ended up eating in every night due to the pull of the private garden and views! The barbecue came in handy twice too. The detailed folder helped us decide what to do during the days and the boiler room was handy for our wet boots and coats on the day we got caught in the rain! There is also a play area for the children at the other side of the cottage. I would highly recommend Croftside and will definitely look to book again at some point, a week was certainly not long enough! A perfect cottage for The Lake District.
