Had a lovely short break in Keswick. Great location of the cottage, so close to the beautiful Fitz Park and a short walk into Keswick centre. Easy check-in and check-out with the lockbox. No problems with a parking space but it does get busy. Great cottage, nicely decorated throughout. The kitchen could have been cleaner in places (bin, baking trays, oven) but overall the cottage was very clean and comfortable and very well equipped. The shower in the bathroom is quite old and the pressure isn’t fantastic but it works fine. Great to have an outside space too.

Our third visit to this cottage. Always a pleasant stay. Very welcoming for our two golden retrievers. A lovely clean and well kept property. Meets the needs of our three generation family very well.
