    A very clean and cosy bolt hole with beautiful views over River Greta and Latrigg, directions to the property and key collection were easy and straightforward. The local guides and instructions for appliances were really helpful too. We made use of the electric hearth as the weather was quite nippy, maybe an extra blanket could be handy, but overall it provided the perfect escape right on the doorstep to Keswick. The biscuits and the wine were also a thoughtful touch, thank you - we can't wait to come again!

    But reading the paper work the map showed we were in the right place and greta was mentioned.every thing was clean and tidy when we got in.kitchen and bedroom a bit on the small side but plenty of storage so not too tight.greeting book had instructions on every thing exept bus time table out of date. kitchen tap hard to turn on and loose great location and good view of the river,park and hills.

    It was well situated close to the town centre. With winter coming it was sometimes a bit chilly in the flat.
