A few tweets would make it perfect: In the description it said logs would be left for your first fire . Unfortunately this was not the case. The shower head would not fit in the holder in the shower cubicle which made things a little tricky and maybe more hooks on the back of the doors would help. Only minor things and easy to address.

It was well equipped and finished to a good standard throughout. We were extremely happy with our stay, our only gripe was the shower which leaked around the shower tray and we had to use towels to soak the water up every day. Iâm sure this can be fixed easily, which would make a stay âmoanâ free. This needs looking at urgently before it causes more costly damage.

The location is perfect, only 10 mins walk to town centre and lots of great walks easily accessible (I walk to each rather than drive) The property owners couldnât have been more helpful or welcoming. I would definitely stay again and look forward to coming back to Keswick soon.
