This traditional market town is full of great things to discover.

Excellent property in a great position for access to central Keswick. Only drawback was the very poor internet speed, the TV has no aerial so depends on the internet connection, thus if the kids were trying to use the internet the Telly stopped working.Would I book again 100% yes.
