Super convenient for shops, pubs and restaurants. Parking space is included which was a great bonus, although very tight as advertised. The property itself is very clean, the facilities in great condition (apart from the bathroom lightswitch which sometimes needed a few extra pulls to turn on). Beds very comfy and loads of extra throw blankets etc for colder nights. Would 100% look for this property first if returning to the area.

Being in the centre of Keswick with parking meant we didn't use the car during our stay!

Parking is fine if everyone is sensible and considerate, unload before you park up. Really enjoyable holiday
