Second time I’ve stayed here and I would definitely stay again. Comfy and warm, great shower and comfy beds. Parking space very useful for Keswick. Everything you need. Thanks to Cottages.com for replacing a defective kettle without fuss. The kitchen clock needs a new battery! Some cobwebs and spiders but they seemed happy where they were ☺️ Lovely soft towels and bottle of wine/biscuits on arrival much appreciated. It would be useful to have some salt and pepper to hand in the kitchen as it’s not something you might pack/travel with. Sometimes it felt like some sheer curtains might help with privacy in bedrooms as the house is opposite other houses (unless you want to keep the curtains closed much of the time?) But I love this this little house and would definitely book again 🙏
