    We had a fantastic week. The location was perfect, lovely and quiet but only a short walk or drive to Keswick. The cottage was spacious and very comfortable. Will definitely be going back, perfect base to explore the lakes.

    Gorgeous little quaint cottage, lovely location and stunning views. The walks locally were brilliant for the dogs and I feel we were pretty central to all the mountains we wanted to climb! Keswick, being only 4 miles away, was brilliant for nipping to the shop, going for a drink or to a restaurant. Welcome book also very informative, highly recommend!
