This was a fabulous apartment. It provided everything we could possibly need. Clean, comfy bed and in a beautiful village. The walk to Keswick was delightful over the bridge. We loved our stay here

This is probably the best self catering rental we have had. Everything was clean and well presented. Very fluffy towels and comfortable beds. It only lacks some outside space but the outlook is excellent along the street. A very pleasant walk onto Keswick

Absolute amazing location and place to stay for a well deserved holiday.4 Harney Peak is well located in the heart of Portinscale, opposite the Scales café/ restaurant a few minutes walk from the Linghome estate (restaurant) and 20 minutes walk from Keswick (lots of cafes and restaurants). The apartment itself is well presented, clean, tidy and well equipped. We were very happy with the apartment and would definitely stay again!
