Loved the railway track walk in to Keswick. Clean and well kept area. It should be clear in the description that the holiday park is outside Keswick- stating it is accessible by walking 30 minutes or driving 10 minutes.We were disappointed not to be closer to our friends this holiday.

Whoever took photographs of the property was very creative. Property was well equipped but furnishing were very poor, dirty and uncomfortable. On suite shower was pathetic as was the bed in this room. Outside space was small and made even smaller by the addition of the hot tub we didnât have access to. Very glad there were only two of us staying there - it certainly isnât big enough for four adults. Location was very good
