Property is an ideal base to explore Keswick and surrounding areas.Property itself could do with updating, bathroom looks dated. Kitchen last time we visited was very good, had everything we could possibly could have needed, this time not as well equipped.Bedding and towels, again need replaced with new.The property is perfect for families, near to parks and walking distance into Keswick, once car is parked, you don’t need to move car - 2 minutes walk to nearest bus stop .Good property .
