Love this house. It is spacious, really well equipped, warm and comfortable. Parking is provided which is a bonus for Keswick. The views from the cottage are amazing. We liked it so much we have booked again for next year. It is only a short walk into the centre of town, although the walk back up the hill is a bit of a challenge.
