Amazing home away from home
From the second you walk in, the thoughtfulness of the host is obvious. The house is extremely tidy, clean and organised yet full of the things that you need to live there. If you are staying for fell walks, the location is perfect. Easy drive to multiple setting off points such as Cat Bells and Scafell and also Keswick for food and shopping. The surroundings are so quiet with the river bubbling in the background. We will return for sure!!

Prachtige omgeving
De eigenaars hebben er alles aan gedaan om het de gasten zo geriefelijk mogelijk te maken: alles ligt er netjes gekuist bij, er televisie, de keuken voorziet in alle moderne behoeften. Alleen het dubbele bed in de slaapkamer achteraan is wat krap als men thuis een groter bed gewoon is. Verder geen enkele negatieve opmerking. Het is een ideaal vertrekpunt om de omgeving te verkennen, zeker voor wandelaars.

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.

Outstanding cottage, ideally situated, super clean, excellent hosts
Simply home from home. Log fire was amazing. Very thoughtful welcome pack, hosts on hand for anything you may need. One of the best places we’ve stayed in the the Lake District. Lovely walks from the door, outstanding grounds teeming with wildlife, quiet and secure. Highly recommend for up to 4 people.

Wonderful holiday
We had a fantastic week here. It is such an idyllic location with many walks from the door straight into the countryside. We saw so many birds both at the feeders and along the river, which was brilliant for kayaking. The cottage was modern and very well resourced. The owners were really friendly and helpful and took great care to ensure that our holiday was as good as it could be. Thank you for a great week.

Wonderful
It was very hard to leave at the end of week!! The setting and view was amazing - along the river with the mountains as a back drop. The beautiful garden going right down to the river invited us to spend many lazy, warm afternoons snoozing under the trees or watching the wildlife. Since the river is shallow we also braved the chilly water on several occasions to wade, swim and look for the minnows. We did several walks of various difficulties that could be started right from the cottage, no need to drive. The hosts were very welcoming, always available for questions or a friendly chat. Made us feel very comfortable. It was a perfect holiday cottage for the family!

Beautifully kept and appointed property. Couldn't have asked for a nice place to self-isolate! Hospitality of owners excellent. Gutted we had to cut our stay short to comply with orders to stay at home and not clutter up tourist spots. We have to come back. Hopefully soon or sooner!

Lovely cottage in a stunning setting
Great communication prior to trip with owner who allowed us to park up early to get a walk in before check in. Lovely cottage with a kitchen that has everything you’re likely to need. Cosy lounge with dual fuel fire and enough room in the 2 double bed rooms for all your clobber. Plenty of birdlife to be seen from the comfort of your own lounge, including woodpeckers, nuthatches and treecreepers, amongst others. Johnathan and Jash make you feel at home and I would certainly recommend this cottage to friends and family, and the wider public.
