The location is quiet and peaceful, but only a short walk to the centre. One word to describe this cottage is perfect.

Situated on the outskirts of Keswick. Perfect for a short walk into the town. Safe parking off road. Quite close to a fairly busy ( at times) road but didnât bother us at all. Lovely view from the back garden. On reading the guest book, other visitors before us seem to have been left a welcome pack including Prosecco/wine and some even biscuits ! Although the pint of milk was welcome a bottle of wine would have been even more welcome especially just before Christmas!! Would definitely book again.

Location was great and with off street parking which is an essential in a busy town. Prosecco and milk âwelcome packâ was a nice touch. Pretty much a perfect home from home and we hope to return.
