It was lovely and clean, modern and felt like a home from home. It is right in the heart of Keswick therefore close to amenities and the lake. The drying room is a great idea for wet clothes. We went paddle boarding so it was great to put our wetsuits in there. A note of warning: if youâre a light sleeper bring earplugs, you could hear every footstep of the people staying in the apartment above (they may have just walked loudly) and the main road next to the room late at night could be loud from cars accelerating up to the top. Other than that perfect stay and we would love to return.
