It is the second time we have stayed here and find it very convenient for Keswick as it is right near the centre. The property is very clean and has everything needed for a comfortable holiday.

A bit noisy at the front in the mornings as would be expected. A shelf in the bathroom and a washing machine would be improvements, but it is a great place to stay. There is a parking space right next to the property which is invaluable; I easily parked our Landrover Discovery â¦so letâs have no more comments about it only being suitable for small cars!

Flat had everything we needed and was really comfortable. The owners had responded to previous feedback about the bathroom, so it was beautiful and clean when we stayed. We chose it together with our friends who stayed in Keswick Loft in the same courtyard so that we could spend time together but have our own space. We really appreciated being allowed a late checkout as noone was staying straight afterwards, though it did mean that we ended up going shopping in Keswick in the morning again!
