House is well equipped and was clean and tidy upon arrival. In an excellent position near to the parks and town centre. I've took off a star as front bedroom curtains blocked zero light and the front room whilst clean is a bit dated.

We have stayed here many times and as usual the cottage was clean and welcoming. It’s a lovely short walk through the park into Keswick town centre. The garden is ideal for sunny days, we had a couple this holiday! Having said this the small patio is desperately in need of a clean after the winter months.
