Very spacious house and extremely clean.We left our car on the road at the front of the house as it was awkward to park it at the back, but that’s just as I am not very good at parking. There are no restrictions.In fact we didn’t use our car at all in the 4 days we were there as it is so convenient for the town, buses boats etc.

The house was well situated within Keswick, car could be parked in the properties own space very useful in busy months. Bed extremely comfortable, and plenty of games, books, jigsaws etc for entertainment. Being able to walk to shops, pubs and restaurants was ideal. A great place for reaching beautiful lake walks as well as the mountainous ones. This property is ideal for couples or families
