We loved it and felt really relaxed. The âviewâ was exceptional and so calming. The ability to properly live in the house was really easy. We had all we needed. Even though the walk to town is a little hike, it was a lovely hike! Will definitely recommend - in fact we already have. We will absolutely come back. The only comment I have would be given the size of the bedrooms, a bigger bed would be a lovely addition.

A few very small details of feedback, my parents are elderly and one of the reasons I chose the property was for the bedroom downstairs, and en-suite would have been a good idea so they did not have to go up the stairs to shower. The dryer filter was blocked and prevented us from using this facility, the kitchen needs some larger bowls for salad and soup. The quilt was light and as the season change a warmer one would be required. These are small points of feedback. We had a wonderful time in the house and really have no complaints, Keswick is magical and the property is in a prefect stop, close to the railway for long walks with my husband and little dog, and popping into Keswick. Would definitely stay again.

Very comfortable and plenty of room. It is a fair walk into town and up on a fairly steep hill if you have mobility issues. There is a bus but service stops quite early. Taxiâs can be busy at peak times. Owner extremely helpful for any problems you may have, we had a couple of problems with the fire alarms (beware very loud!) so make sure you open windows and have extractor fan on when cooking, they are quite sensitive. Also plumbing⦠but owner/Sykes dealt with them swiftly. Definitely recommend especially if you enjoy walking/biking/canoing in the area. Lots of space in the garage for bikes/canoes etc. But also great for relaxing and enjoying the view.
