A fabulously located cottage which was immaculately clean and well provisioned. Really spacious - all rooms were large and comfortable. Kitchen was well equipped. Managed to get parking outside (not sure if it would be as easy in high season). Would 100% stay again.

Well presented and well equipped. Good location - just 5 minutes walk from town centre. Two large double bedrooms and one good sized twin. Comfortable beds. Plenty of room for the five of us. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend this accommodation to others.

Great Location, Les than 10 mins walk to Keswick Centre. Three good size bedrooms, and a well decorated accommodation. We only stayed the one night, but for a home from home to set up a walk in the morning the location was great.
