Idyllic setting

Ideal cottage in a beautiful location. Really enjoyed our stay at riverside. Walks direct from the cottage and a place to rest and relax on return.

A gem of a cottage

Riverside is a comfortable, homely property in a stunning location. Situated right on the riverbank in beautiful Borrowdale, there was wildlife in abundance and lovely walks on the doorstep. The friendly owners provided a super welcome pack on arrival. We will definitely be returning in the future.

Amazing riverside property

We spent a very happy week in this gorgeous house - very well equipped and comfortable. The garden, including a lovely balcony overlooking the river, is beautiful and perfect for bird watching. My sons enjoyed the proximity to the river and swam/paddle boarded (in February...!) There were a few issues with fuses blowing during the weekend we arrived, but this was quickly sorted and we had no more problems for the remainder of our stay. Thank you, Jonathan, for sorting out these problems, and for sharing your lovely house. We would love to return.

Relaxing cosy stay

The cottage is in a good location for walks and a short drive to Keswick, when we entered there was a lovely welcome pack in the kitchen for us and as soon as we unpacked we felt at home, having the river just out the back of the property was very nice as was the log burner.

About the host

Hosted by Jonathan

Hello. My partner and I moved to beautiful Borrowdale after holidaying here since Childhood. It was a dream that came true after living in the Midlands for 39 years. I often still say to my children that I still cannot believe we live here.

Why they chose this property

Just look at our pictures!

What makes this property unique

A real cosy home from home.
