Us four ladies enjoyed a wonderful break at Robinson. Although the weather was typical Lake District rainy weather we had a great catch up, went into a few pubs in between showers and saw a fabulous pantomime at the Lakeside theatre. The house was so comfortable to stay in, lovely beds! We hope to return, maybe in better weather, or not, it doesn’t really matter. Thanks a lot.

Robinson is in a great location, it’s very handy it has off street parking given how busy Keswick is. The house has everything you need for a lovely stay!
