Great cottage in a beautiful small village. Very well equipped and beautifully decorated. Only criticism is that the shower is so cramped, very small for my husband who is 6ft.

Pickles Barn is a comfortable, clean and well appointed home from home close to Keswick and all surrounding amenities. Ireby itself is a picturesque village full of Lakeland charm.Having stayed in central Keswick I find the outlying villages offer better accommodation at a more reasonable price.
