The property enjoys views of the local fells from the upper floors, and is very much a traditional Victorian home with high ceilings, original plaster details and a stunning stained glass piece featuring, of course, the Bianca Rose.

Why not start your ascent on the famous Cat Bells with a gentle crossing of Derwent Water on one of the cruises from Keswick Launch, or entertain the family at the many attractions that will capture their imagination? A whole host of outdoor activities can be found in the area, and for that special evening out why not try one of the many fine dining places to eat in, or catch a play at the Theatre By The Lake? For more traditional Lakeland nights, have a taste of the local real ales that are served in the bars. Shop ¼ mile, pub and restaurant ½ mile.

A perfectly situated holiday home in Keswick. Ideal for all amenities. Very comfortable. Lovely and warm with lots of hot water. However it could have done with a good clean. Cottage company letting owners down.

A great place to stay in central Keswick - close to all local amenities and the mountains. Bianca Rose provides a spacious and well equipped property for a family and dog. (we recommend bringing your own towels as the ones provided did not look clean - this was the only issue we had otherwise a great stay).

I've been to Keswick several times and probably liked this property more than any other. Plenty of space, nicely decorated and homely, and perfect for 2 couples (2 double rooms) plus a twin room for children. Mattresses ok but as others have said, could be a bit comfier but really liked the location, property itself, and would definitely go back there.
