  • "We stayed at One Millbank from 13th-20th April and loved our stay there."

    We have stayed in other properties and we felt this property by far surpassed them. The location was amazing with fantastic views from the windows front & back. The house is so close to the town center but far enough away to not hear any noise only bird song, it's also perfect for walking and forgetting about your car for the week. There is a designated parking space directly at the back of the property and the house is accessible via the rear gate which is great for loading & unloading. The property was clean and beautifully decorated and furnished throughout, it had a great TV and choice of channels and a good shower in main bathroom. We made a couple of suggestions on ways to improve the property and the comments were appreciated and are being fulfilled. There were only two of us staying here so the dining table was more than big enough for us to eat at one end and do a jigsaw at the other! This is a great house in a great location and would definitely recommend it to others.

    Thanks for your kind feedback and we are indeed making a couple of enhancements following your comments. Best Regards Felicity and Andrew Property Owner

  • "Lovely cottage in a great location with everything we needed."

    Thanks for your positive feedback. We hope you will come to Keswick (and hopefully Millbank) again soon - hopefully when the weather is better. Best Regards Felicity and Andrew Property Owner

  • "We liked the proximity of the house to the town centre."

    It was very clean and freshly decorated. We would have preferred a bath. The double bed in the back bedroom seemed a little small. It was VERY squeaky and creaky. The synthetic bedding meant that we constantly woke up during the night, very hot and sweating. Poor quality kitchen utensils meant that we didn't cook as much as we would have liked e.g. knives not sharp, frying pan with non stick coating flaking off.

    Thanks for your feedback - we are obviously surprised and disappointed by your low scores (far lower than any others we have ever had). FYI We never planned to have a bath and we have quality double beds (standard size). Any maintenance issues are dealt with promptly if you raise them with us or the local office - we want our guests to have a great experience in this beautiful town and the surrounding countryside.

  • "1 Millbank was one of the best cottages we've stayed in (and we have been visiting the Lakes for nearly 30 years)."

    It was clean and comfortable. Nice white fluffy towels, soft, warm beds. The heating was easy to notch up a bit when you came in cold and wet after a long walk. The shower was good too - walk in and hot and powerful enough to wash long hair (often a problem in the past). A dedicated parking spot behind the house was fantastic - being able to go out on a long walk e.g Haweswater, knowing that when you got back you could park up. Free WIFI too. The cottage was a brilliant base for either walking straight from the cottage over to Catbells or for longer day out. You are less than five minutes from the pubs, restaurants and shops and two minutes from Fitz Park. A lovely bottle of wine as a welcome gift. What more could you ask for? Thank you Felicity and Andrew - we would certainly book again.

    Many thanks for your great feedback - it has taken a lot of effort to get 1 Millbank up and running in the last year but we are trying to keep the quality as high as possible. Your feedback makes it worthwhile and we hope you will come again Best Regards Felicity and Andrew Property Owner
