Excellent base for our week in Keswick. Cottage was clean. Tricky to find on street parking, so didnt move our car all week once a space was found futher down the street.Windows were dirty on the outside & the garden pots at the front were full of weeds. We had a lovely holiday and happy to reccomend this little cottage

Lovely cottage, plenty of room, (considering it's size). Facilities all good, great shower and comfy bed. Only issue was couldn't work out where the rotary washing line went.....Parking is an issue, due to the location so close to the town, so pain extra to park on a near by driveway.

Lovely cottage in a great location to be near the centre of Keswick . Lovely and clean , comfortable beds. Well equipped . Please could the kitchen sharp knives in the block be replaced . Not capable of doing any food prep as too blunt . Some extra lamps in lounge would help as it was a bit dark with only one small lamp but these are only minor recommendations , this cottage was great value and is highly recommended .
