Absolute amazing location and place to stay for a well deserved holiday.4 Harney Peak is well located in the heart of Portinscale, opposite the Scales café/ restaurant a few minutes walk from the Linghome estate (restaurant) and 20 minutes walk from Keswick (lots of cafes and restaurants). The apartment itself is well presented, clean, tidy and well equipped. We were very happy with the apartment and would definitely stay again!

The oven and hob were very good, however the kitchen extractor fan appeared not to work. Salt and rinse aid for the dishwasher weren't provided. Good parking and plenty of storage. Portinscale doesn't have much itself but Keswick a short drive away has everything. We highly recommend Casa Bella italian restaurant in Keswick.We would return.
