Out the back gate onto a path along side the river which led to our surprise into a lovely park. Walking along side of it we soon found it easy to be in Keswick. The cottage has obviously had a lot of thought and love put into it to make it as nice as it is. Nothing has been skimped, the kitchen in particular had everything and more one would expect, all of high quality. Unfortunately we could not get the knack of using the electric hob and used it only once and ate out. Thank you for a lovely holiday , The scenery is so dramatically beautifully. Driving elsewhere will never be the same again. John & Mandy

As we cook when we're away we found this a huge bonus. The fridge is also a decent size (again, not always the case). The cottage is quiet, yet close to town and ideally suited to explore Keswick and the surrounding area.
