We have just returned from a wonderful stay at Riverbank Cottage. The cottage was lovely; comfortable, well-equipped and in a perfect, tranquil setting. Our dogs thoroughly enjoyed their many walks exploring Fitz Park right next door to the cottage. The location of the cottage is excellent for exploring the area of Keswick and the many walks in the area. In addition, a real bonus for us was the parking space on the private drive of the cottage and an enclosed garden for our two dogs.We would all love to visit again in the future and would highly recommend.
