Just one small comment regarding cooking (although we did not cook) there was no condiments or anything in the cupboards (as in salt pepper oil sugar tea bags coffee) . These could be provided at very little expense and would last months and enhance the feeling of being more homely and equipped.

Sofas in living room need replacing Mattresses on both beds need replacing, a dressing table needs to be added to the 2nd bedroom and privacy blinds in both bedrooms. Hot water was not hot even though the boiler was turned up to max. Also front gate goes straight onto a busy main road- one to bear in mind if you have children

It's location is just across the road from Fitz Park with a lovely walk along the river into Keswick Town, which takes about 15 mins. The owners are delightful, they even trimmed up the living room with Christmas decorations and left us a bottle of bubbly and Scottish shortbread!
