We had the most amazing stay at this lovely home over New Year! The property is beautiful decorated and has everything you need! The beds were comfy, the sofas were comfy! The kitchen and dining area really was the highlight! Fire on, jigsaw out and cooking! We loved everything about the property! The location was ideal for exploring Carlisle and Keswick! We also went to the nearby village Caldbeck a few times for food and some drinks.
