Lovely hosts, very good accommodation with great views. The Coach House has a nice feel to it, with red squirrels, deer and pheasants roaming directly outside. Would recommend as the perfect accommodation for Keswick and the surrounding area.

Very comfortable and clean cottage equipped with everything needed. Fantastic views from the living room window and lots of wildlife in the garden including red squirrels. Good walking options available without the need to drive.

We enjoyed our stay and will return. The Coach House is comfortable, had all that we needed and the location was ideal. The view across Bassenthwaite towards the Skiddaw fells was excellent and changing with the weather. The wildlife around the garden was a joy to see and Lesley and Joe were welcoming and helpful. Keswick is easy to get into and we did a lot of walking.
