Good shower poorly equipped kitchen lighting in hose dark especially in bathroom stairs to upper level dangerous living room bay window is dangerous as bottom sash opens right up so small child could fall out or a dog entering house had a smell to it

A lovely quirky flat right in the centre in Keswick. On the surface, nice and clean but after dropping something down the back of a radiator, and retrieving the item covered in dust, I discovered that it wasn't that clean! Nice and warm once we figured out to light the gar fire in the living room. It would have been nice to have been given some basic supplies e.g. scissors, salt and pepper, cooking oil, toilet rolls and batteries for the TV remote control. Overall we enjoyed our stay and will return.
