We really enjoyed our stay here! It was the perfect location, only a short walk into the town centre of Keswick. The place was comfortable, clean and well equipped, with everything we needed. Lovely garden to sit out in and enjoy the views of the fells. Highly recommended.

Seat How was the best property we have stayed in. It was so clean and comfortable with all home comforts. The porch was great for storage, wet boots and clothes. Living room was so cosy. Showering was so refreshing as it was so powerful and lovely, hot water and even a view when window open, not to mention the view from the bedroom and kitchen,! ThRead moree bed was so comfortable and spotless and the wardrobe storage space was ample. The time we spent out on the patio and bench was unforgettable. Hide

A nice, cozy house with everything you need. The heating worked very well (and quickly) on cold days.

Love this house. It is spacious, really well equipped, warm and comfortable. Parking is provided which is a bonus for Keswick. The views from the cottage are amazing. We liked it so much we have booked again for next year. It is only a short walk into the centre of town, although the walk back up the hill is a bit of a challenge.
