) and we enjoyed an extremely pleasant and comfortable stay. On arrival we discovered dust under some of the furniture and cobwebs on the lampshades - not a huge problem, but we did notice it! Parking on the narrow cul-de-sac street is not always possible, especially with four people using two cars. Turning is almost impossible on the short street, so you end up backing out on to the main road. We mostly had to find street parking nearby, but that wasn't difficult. There were only two bowls when we arrived, but by the second day four more were provided. We have broken one small wine glass during our stay: please bill us for the replacement.

The cleanliness was impeccable, kitchen very well equipped and the beds comfortable and quiet at night. The nearby road is busy but didnât disturb our sleep as the traffic dies down later in the evening. The pub across the road is great to visit after a days walking to have a drink outside in the front sun trap. Again, any noise disappears on closing time and was not an issue. Managed to park right outside every evening. Took about 10 mins or so to walk into town and is very pleasant if you go along the old railway line walk. Very spacious accommodation. Thank you for our lovely stay.

Great location for walks into Keswick and surrounding area. Helpful information pack in the house and lots of games and books in the event of bad weather. Fortunately it was mostly dry so we had plenty of days out and some lovely pubs and restaurants to choose from.
