Breakfast is provided each morning, made with Cumberland sausage or vegetarian sausage, dry-cured bacon, and other locally sourced ingredients. Homemade cakes are served on arrival. A number of scenic walking routes start from Haven Cottage, and cycle storage is provided if guests wish to bring their bicycle. The market town of Keswick is a 20-minute drive away.

Very friendly hosts, couldn't do enough for you, excellent breakfast. Our first room was too small, we asked for a larger room, they gave us room 6, very large and very comfortable, no hassles. Steep narrow stairs, very awkward to carry luggage up and down. I could not find the code for Wi Fi connection, had to wait until the morning to get the code as the hosts were not on the premises. Small car park.

I had a very enjoyable stay at Haven Cottage. The owners/staff were extremely welcoming and friendly and room 5 was very comfortable, clean and cosy. Lovely freshly cooked breakfasts and tea and cakes on arrival. Very well placed and close to a variety of good restaurants like the Glass House and Dodds.

Everything about our stay at Haven Cottage was wonderful...from the warm welcome with tea and cakes from Tim to the delicious breakfasts and extremely comfortable room. We stayed in suite 6 and it had everything we could need. Very comfortable bed, lovely bathroom, space to relax and very cozy. I would certainly recommend a stay at Haven Cottage.

We stayed in room 8 and it was just as amazing as the pictures we saw on here. Huge walk in shower and free standing bath tub. Very comfortable bed and astonishing view from the private balcony. Tim and his staff were very welcoming and attentive. Jake the dog was adorable. The cottage itself is very homely and we felt very comfortable during our 3 day stay. Breakfast was fantastic, all locally sourced produce. The black pudding was outstanding. Location was great and its nice and quiet. Will definately return and would heartedly recommend to anyone. Nothing.

Everything...Tim and his staff were fantastic from the second I arrived, never thought of staying in a B&B whilst on business but I will definitely do it again. Be warned it's not easy to get up in the morning as the pillows are amazing, I need some! I will return with family for a holiday. Oh and the shower was great too, very powerful. Honestly can't think of a thing I didn't like.
