The property was exactly as shown in the photos. Spotlessly clean with very good quality furniture, beds, bedding and towels. The showers were particularly good being plenty of room, have had ones that were only just big enough. The views were superb and the location was really good for Keswick shopping and buses. The only criticism was the cooking appliances were looking old and worn out and seemed ready to be replaced to bring it up the 5* quality of the rest of the property.

Another wonderful stay at Fairview! The house was spotless, such a big living space and lovely bedrooms. The view from the lounge and bedroom windows is just incredible. A 20 minute walk into town, parking on the drive such a bonus. We will be back!

A clean, spacious, well equipped house, with fantastic views and in a very convenient location. The house was nicely decorated for Christmas and we loved our family Christmas break there, and would be happy to return. Very hard to be critical as we genuinely loved our stay, but given it was mid December, it would have been nice had the heating been turned up before we arrived, and it took a few hours to warm up the house once we got there. Despite it saying there was a set of starter logs and kindling, there wasn’t any. The kitchen was very well equipped, but the non stick trays could perhaps be refreshed. Very minor nitpicks really!
