House was very cold, less than 12C, when we first got there, boiler had been turned off. Living room carpet had not been cleaned, big cobwebs in the kichen and the smoke alarm was sounding due to low battery. Phoned to complain and left the property within the hour.The house is not worth the rate asked, house and holiday company not recommended at all.Our break was totally ruined.

A really good place to stay. Comfy beds and in a great location. Water pressure on showers was great. Washer and tumble dryer in the garage were great.Could do with a deep clean as there were some places that were rather grubby.If you’re planning to put kids in the bunk beds I’d recommend bringing a blackout blind with you as the blind in there did nothing to keep out the light.

Lovely place. The garden and conservatory were really helpful extra spaces. Parking in Keswick can be hard so the off-road parking spaces were brilliant.
