Lake District beauty spot criticised for having ‘too much water’ in bizarre TripAdvisor review

A popular Lake District beauty spot has come under fire for having ‘too much water’ in a bizarre TripAdvisor review.

The town of Keswick is a popular spot for walkers and hikers thanks to its close proximity to  the scenic Derwent Water Lake, and boasts a five star rating on TripAdvisor.

The reviews are glowing, with one person saying it is their ‘favourite lake in the whole national park’ and another gushing over the ‘delightful’ and ‘stunning’ local town.

However, it seems that not every visitor is so easily impressed by the town, with one man recently leaving a scathing review for a number of peculiar reasons.

The unimpressed tourist, known as Jim Jones on the site, was clearly not a fan of the lake itself, with him criticising the amount of water in the area.

His review reads: “There was too much water for my liking not enough free Wi-fi. Thought the place was a bit boring [sic] too many ducks.”

Though this isn’t the first time a nature spot has come under fire for its lack of modern facilities; earlier this year, a hiker slammed Skiddaw – one of England’s highest peaks – as a ‘weak and poorly developed visitor attraction’.

Writing on TripAdvisor – because where else? – the woman compared Skiddaw to Snowdon in Wales, saying it was ‘too high and steep’ to walk up.

She wrote: “Snowdon has a funicular railway to carry people to the summit. At Snowdon summit there is an excellent visitor centre with the full range of facilities – and the whole operation attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors per year.

“Ascending to the summit of Skiddaw is an exhausting experience on the basis that the only means to get up there is to walk.

“It is just too high and too steep for most people. How can the Lake District National Park people expect people to go up there?”

England’s tallest peak, too high and steep? Surely not…
