Lovely house with private parking in an ideal location in the centre of Keswick, and close to Fitz Park. Finished to a high standard with everything you might need, and a lovely welcome pack. On a different note the stairs and steps to the back garden are quite steep.

This was our second visit to the cottage - the previous one being in 2019. It is as perfect now as it was then - very clean, comfortable beds and sofas, well supplied kitchen, spacious lounge/dining for 4 and such a benefit having your own parking space in Keswick. The location is amazing - so handy for shops, restaurants and walks but set far enouRead moregh away from the main roads to be quiet. If you have a dog, it is just a couple of minutes walk to Fitz Park. A perfect stay. Hide
