A lovely property. We love Threlkeld and the cycle ride into Keswick. Would happily go again but a few things need attention. En suite shower valve loose and led to inadvertent scoldings, en-suite sink not attached to cabinet and loo not attached to floor. Glass chopping boards painful relic of the past. Kitchen knives blunt and one handle coming apart. Too few glasses and mugs. No recycling bins.

Very comfortable and a great centre for walking and exploring the lakes right from the door.
