You need to reconsider letting the attic room as the steps up to that room are hazardous. I'm an experienced hill walker, yet slipped coming down these steps which meant that I was unable to walk for the remainder of the weekend. Otherwise, a very good cottage in a great location

The house was great for our family stay. Really well equipped, lots of space for us all. The position was great to walk to the shops/Derwent Water and surrounds. We thought only having 1 car space for all of us would be a problem.... we had 5 cars in total.... it was actually OK. We parked on the street as suggested by the owner.

This is a fabulous house, very close to the town centre, surrounded by parks and caters for a large group of people!

The cottage is brilliant - really spacious and well equipped. All the bathrooms worked well and bedrooms were comfy. The pool table in the dining room was a massive hit with the whole family.

We had a wonderful time staying at The Gables. As a large family with children (& dogs!), finding somewhere to accommodate all of us can be tricky. House was plenty big enough, with lots of space for socialising and enough bathrooms that we werent waiting to shower etc. The location couldnt be any better. Close to the park, pub, town & lots of walkRead mores. When my daughters favourite soft toy was left behind, the owner was incredibly helpful, locating it for us! We hope to stay again soon! Hide

The cottage was perfectly located for us, a short walk to the Park, Keswick centre, activities and trails. It has plenty of room, we were 3 families and never felt like we were in each other's way. The kids enjoyed playing board games in the front room, while the adults enjoyed a game of pool and relaxing on the window seat in the dining area.
