    The location is perfectly central to Keswick, close to Fritz park if you have little ones, and waking up to the views from the master bedroom is truly incredible.

    It's in a superb central location for all the restaurants and shops as well as the cinema and theatre. It is a beautifully decorated cottage - really clean and comfortable and extremely well equipped with amazing views form the top bedroom. Would highly recommend and would love to come back again.
