We have just returned from our second holiday at Hindscarth. This flat is ideally placed on the edge of the town centre with pubs cafes and shops close by. Booths across the road next to the bus station from where you can catch a bus to anywhere in the Lake District. The flat has everything you need for your stay comfortable furniture and beds and the assigned parking space is gold. The last time we were here the bathroom was in need of an update, this has been done to a high standard so everything is now excellent. We have had a lovely stay and will be back.

We have stayed a few times at this well placed flat. Since our last stay it has been freshened up. They had thoughtfully put up a little Christmas and little decorations around to help feel the Christmas vibe whilst away. Lovely personal touches around too. We love coming here and with parking place to hand, it suits just setting out walking straight in to Keswick with walks all around. A beautiful spot and other places to visit are not far away. We shall no doubt be back….again!!
