This bungalow is in an excellent location easy to walk to Keswick and has wonderful views to the surrounding hills. It was easy to walk to the mountains of Latrigg and Catbells accessible via a short boat journey from Keswick Launch. The walks around Derwent Water are beautiful and extend to the start of Borrowdale Valley. The bungalow was very cleRead morean and tidy and well equipped. A great place to stay for a holiday. Hide

Spent a lovely week at the property. Very well equipped, spotlessly clean and in a good position with just a 10minute walk into Keswick.

Further guests should be informed of the building work next door, which has been going on for the last 18 months, and I spoke to the young couple who own the property. They told me there's still a good 18 months before finished. The inside of the property is lovely and spacious. Beautiful views from the kitchen and bedroom .10 mins walk to the centRead morere.

An absolutely fabulous location in the heart of Keswick. A lovely bungalow with some absolutely stunning views from the rear of the surrounding landscape. We felt at home immediately and its only a 15min walk into town which was absolutely perfect. We used the bungalow as a location to explore the surroundings including the Honister slate mine, BasRead moresenthwaite Lake and further afield to even Scotland. Hide

A real find. Seat How was just perfect for us and we hope to return. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable, well equipped and with everything in working order. Our own parking space just opposite was most welcome and we never used the car during our visit. The bus stop was a short walk away and services went to Penrith, Grasmere, Ambleside, WindermeRead morere etc. The walk into town was shorter than we thought using the estate footpaths and Keswick market as good as ever Thank you for a great holiday.

With great views but only a short walk from the town centre, the location is excellent. A very comfortable cottage which was also spotlessly clean. Good walks from the door.

The cottage has a great location with good views over Keswick. It has good off road and on road parking. The town centre is a 15 minute walk away. The external porch is very useful for walking gear. The cottage itself was a bit smaller than we expected but it was clean well appointed.

This bungalow enjoys a wonderful position: great views and yet so convenient to the town centre. We were there in a very busy week at the end of October, but the location was very quiet. We particularly appreciated the off road parking and the garage to keep our bikes secure. The handy conservatory porch was a boon for outdoor clothing and boots.
