A great holiday cottage for a family of 4. Great location for Keswick and surrounding areas. Well equipped house and kitchen, including extras such as bin bags and dishwasher tablets, which is always welcome. The first floor has a utility room, including washing machine and dryer. Parking for 1 car is a bit tight if the other cottages are also occupied, but access was never an issue with a bit of manoeuvring. We would definitely stay again.
