It was nice to see that one of the things i raised last year Had been fixed, there are lovely new coat hooks !You would think that whoever owns the property would want to fix the drain pipe by the doors into the back yard. Every time it rains it cascades down the wall . Raised this point last year but still not fixed !

This was our second visit to York House. It is a spacious property, with a well-equipped kitchen and plenty of bathrooms, perfect for a large group of people. The downstairs loo is a good addition! The house is well situated for easy access to the town, the parks, the fabulous theatre and cinema. Keswick is an excellent base for exploring the Lakes. During our stay, we reported a faulty TV and issues with one of the handbasins. Someone came out to assess the issues the same day, which was a good response, however the tv could not be fixed / replaced that week.York House has a great deal of character and is a lovely property to holiday in, however it would benefit from a deep clean and a little attention.
