Bedrooms were all lovely, beds very comfortable, bathrooms clean - fabulous to have an en-suite in 7 out of 8 rooms. Location of house - walkable to good pubs/restaurants and centre of Keswick. For less mobile people Ashness taxis provide a great service at very reasonable price. Their drivers were helpful, flexible and very kind and friendly. We felt this house was pretty much perfect for our group and we didnât have anything negative to say about it.
