A spacious warm cottage, well equipped with a comfortable bed and easy to use shower. The TV in the lounge had catch up on it which was easy to use. The book provided for dog walks was much appreciated. Close to town centre and Fitz park where you can walk your dog. Front garden was lovely in the afternoon with a bench to sit on. Parking was on the street but we had no problem parking close by. Lots of pubs and places to eat in Keswick.

Very comfortable and well located property only a short walk from the centre of Keswick. A comfortable bed, good shower and a well stocked kitchen were much appreciated. The small garden at the front turned out to be a real suntrap in the afternoons which allowed us to really enjoy the lovely weather during our stay.
