We had a lovely stay at Robinson in Keswick . The house was in a very good location- near enough to walk into the town for shopping and evening meal; but also we were able to leave the car at the house and do a days walk up Latrigg. The house itself was clean and relatively comfortable. There were lots things to entertain everyone and the kitchen was very well equipped. The bedrooms were clean and comfortable. The only slight downside from me was the heating controls from someone who gets cold easily I felt that the date of April 1st being change to summer heating setting was a bit off for the North of England. We had to keep putting the heating on in the mornings as it was too cold in the house. But other than that it was a great house.

Robinson was a lovely place to stay. The house has plenty of character and is ideal location for accessing Keswick. Really handy having the parking space as the local roads can get very busy. The owner made contact with us directly during our stay to make sure everything was OK. Hopefully we'll be back! Thanks , the Mitchell family.

Lovely, spacious, well equipped, clean house. We felt at home the minute we walked in. Only a 5 minute walk into town and far enough down the street not to be bothered by passers by. The house even has its own parking spot which is rare in Keswick. My only issue is the faff of collecting and returning the key from a different location (only 5 minutes walk, though). We will definitely stay again.
