  • Alan

    It's location is just across the road from Fitz Park with a lovely walk along the river into Keswick Town, which takes about 15 mins. The owners are delightful, they even trimmed up the living room with Christmas decorations and left us a bottle of bubbly and Scottish shortbread!

  • Phil

    Comfortable, convenient for Keswick, but far enough away to be quiet, and convenient for the lake area in general.

  • Elizabeth

    Nice touch with the welcome basket especially the bottle of wine. Thank you Only suggestion I would make is for a handrail to be fitted in the shower especially for older people like me with knee problems.
