Keswick is a wonderful place for walks from the door, pubs, cafes and outdoor shops. This first floor flat was near the town centre, but far enough away to have available on street parking. There was plenty of space in the apartment for just me and everything I used worked fine. Drawbacks include a longish, steepish flight of steps leading to the flat, a rather outdated feel to the place, including the requirement for a more thorough clean, and a bit of noise from other properties nearby.

Thank you serendipity. Close to local town, well equipped kitchen for a couple. Flat is clean and well maintained. Aged unit, adds to the rustic cottage feel. Firmer beds and pillows would make the stay even more comfortable. Keep up the good work.
