Superb well maintained and presented house in the centre of Keswick with its own parking (not on road) that lets you take a pet. A bit of a hill to get there but well worth it. Would unreservedly recommend both the house and town.

A very homely comfortable house which had everything we could possibly need. Parking space is excellent and the back garden is a sun trap if you are blessed with the weather as we were. Beds were very comfortable and the cottage was spacious yet cosy. The location could not be better - seconds from the park or town. We will definitely be back!

This property has recently been updated. So the decor is better. The internal doors nicer. A new dining suite. The new pictures show lovely views of the lake district.
