Great little cottage in the perfect location, very close to all the local shops and walking routes around Derwent water and beyond, only a few mins walk away from Keswick Launch. Kitchen is very small but we didn't do much cooking as there's lots of great places to eat so this was fine for us. The only issue we had was parking when we arrived as it said we could use the disc parking but we were unable to locate the disc in the property, however we found we could quickly unload with hazards on pretty easily. Would definitely stay again when we are next in Keswick!
