Second time we have stayed here and absolutely loved it again. Portinscale is a great base for Keswick and the North Lakes. Loads of good walks straight from the door and buses run to Buttermere from just down the road. House is clean and tidy and the back garden beautiful. Garage to store bikes if needed. Only slight niggle is just 1 bin bag provided and 2 toilet rolls...wouldn't break the bank to provide a couple more of each! Apart from that, we had a wonderful stay.
