Very accommodating for everyone. We really liked that there was a lot of space for us all to be together but also there was the option to go off to your own room if needed. Which was made easy by there being a bathroom and TV in every bedroom. Great location as well, five mins away from the centre of Keswick. We were also grateful for the amount of parking available as we had all travelled from different places. Communication was great with the hosts as well, when asked if we wanted one of the rooms as a double or 2 singles. We would stay here again!

The house was not as clean as expected on arrival, but much cleaner on departure. An indoor downstairs toilet would of made a huge difference for the elderly in our group. Really surprised to find there wasn't a hairdryer.

Central location with ample parking. Close to town centre and Fitz park.
