  • Vivien

    It's comfortably furnished, well proportioned, ideal for large groups and near the centre of Keswick. The house has been recently renovated to a high standard. Our party comprised of 8 adults, 4 children, a baby and a dog. Everyone fitted in and felt comfortable. We had a couple of small issues which were promptly dealt with by our contact Sarah. We would stay there again.

  • Martin

    The house is outstanding and in an ideal location just a few minutes walk from the main street of Keswick. Spotlessly clean and very well decorated. Loads of space with a big living room, dining room and kitchen to go with the 7 bedrooms. The hot tub was the icing on the cake! I would definitely recommend using this property if you plan to visit the area in a larger group.

  • Rachel

    The big fridge/freezer and 2 ovens were really helpful when preparing food for everyone. The house had everything we needed and only a short walk into Keswick for a meal after a big day out walking. The hot tub was brilliant, although access to this is by the side of the house and a public walkway so you have to be quick getting in. We found parking on the street fine. Overall, we would definetly recommend and stay again. Thank you!
