Briargarth - the location a few minutes walk from Keswick shops, buses and boats and with an off-road parking space is superb! More parking tickets are issued in Keswick than anywhere in that area and even Premier Inn charges £12 per night to those staying in their hotel!The property is very well presented and has had a new roof, new central heating boiler and re-decoration since our last visit.We would advise guests to ensure they follow the directions and use the central heating and de-humidifiers as directed for a comfortable stay.I'm sure we will be back again for a 5th stay!!

Briargarth was perfect for us, very comfortable and well equipped. It’s in a quiet and convenient area, less than a ten minute walk to the town centre. The fully enclosed garden (complete with decking and a garden table and chairs) was perfect for our little dog and the welcome pack was much appreciated. Thank you!The beds were exceptionally comfortable and the entire property was very clean and tidy (thank you so much Hayley).We enjoyed our stay so much that we have already booked again for next year.
