We stayed here for two weeks and couldn't fault a thing. This is a perfect house in a perfect location. It only takes 15 minutes to walk into Keswick from here, and we often didn't even take our car out of the drive, we just walked to any of the local walks we wanted to do.The house was well equipped, and the owners even changed the bedding and towels half way through our stay, a lovely touch.We ate (and drank!) at the Farmers Arms which is only three minutes walk away, and at Barua in town, can highly recommend them both.We would love to come back again.
