Aug 12, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A hideaway Well-cared for property with all that we needed. Nice to be welcomed with a letter from our hosts and a bottle of prosecco! The river running by the old sawmill sent me to sleep at night, and the peace of the area was great, while the closeness of Keswick meant you were easily able to get stores or find eating places. ##### Patricia B.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Fairholme Cottage. The location is very quiet with lots of wildlife (a very friendly pheasant) and the beautiful red squirrels. The cottage is much more spacious than the photographs reflect and it is very well equipped. The decor is lovely and the cottage clean. Can't wait to return. ##### Lisa ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Royal Whitby](https://www.expedia.ca/Whitby-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel.h57917040.Hotel-Information) > > [Cave Hotel & Golf Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Faversham-Hotels-Cave-Hotel-Golf-Resort.h33410673.Hotel-Information) > > [Burgh Island Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingsbridge-Hotels-Burgh-Island-Hotel.h34611055.Hotel-Information) > > [Millcroft](https://www.expedia.ca/Penrith-Hotels-Millcroft.h26994538.Hotel-Information) > > [Delta Hotels by Marriott Heathrow Windsor](https://www.expedia.ca/Slough-Hotels-Heathrow-Windsor-Marriott-Hotel.h3830.Hotel-Information) > > [The Greenway Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Greenway-Hotel-Spa.h520203.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Lane New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-Park-Lane-Hotel.h2714.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Downtown Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Downtown-Montreal-Montreal-Hotels.0-n6058201-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Lakes Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Windermere-Hotels-Lakes-Hotel-And-Spa.h901040.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Santa Teresa](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Teresa-Hotels.d6143929.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Meliá Orlando Celebration](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-Hotels-Melia-Orlando-Celebration.h1759572.Hotel-Information) > > [Radisson Hotel Manchester City Centre, A Verified Net Zero Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Manchester-Hotels-Park-Inn-By-Radisson-Manchester-City-Centre.h2601411.Hotel-Information) > > [Pine Lake Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Carnforth-Hotels-Pine-Lake-Resort.h1928661.Hotel-Information) > > [The Porch House](https://www.expedia.ca/Cheltenham-Hotels-The-Porch-House.h4595892.Hotel-Information) > > [Home2 Suites by Hilton Huntsville/Research Park Area, AL](https://www.expedia.ca/Huntsville-Hotels-Home2-Suites-By-Hilton-HuntsvilleResearch-Park-Area-AL.h5927459.Hotel-Information) > > [The Simon Hotel Sydney](https://www.expedia.ca/Sydney-Hotels-Cambridge-Suites-Hotel-Sydney.h8311.Hotel-Information) > > [Four Seasons Hotel Hampshire](https://www.expedia.ca/Hook-Hotels-Four-Seasons-Hotel-Hampshire.h986107.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn London-Gatwick Airport by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Horley-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-London-Gatwick-Airport.h16918.Hotel-Information) > > [Brookstreet](https://www.expedia.ca/Ottawa-Hotels-Brookstreet.h917532.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hoboken](https://www.expedia.ca/Hoboken-Hotels.d8358.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [The Belfry](https://www.expedia.ca/Birmingham-Hotels-The-Belfry.h3976.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Hull Marina by IHG](https://www.expedia.ca/Hull-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Hull-Marina.h10609.Hotel-Information) ### Flights > [Flights from Mumbai (BOM) to Toronto (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/bom/yyz/mumbai-to-toronto) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Calgary (YYC)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yyc/toronto-to-calgary) ### Cars > [Car rentals in Fort Myers](https://www.expedia.ca/Car-Rentals-In-Southwest-Florida-Intl.d5722962.Car-Rental-Guide) ### Packages
