Lovely property on edge of Keswick with stunning views in the sunshine. We particularly liked the front patio to sit in an evening and watch the sunset, the open plan space, location (although it is a bit of a climb back up from Keswick), 3 bathrooms, comfy beds, enclosed garden for toddler and dog, use of large garage space for storage of pushchair, walking equipment etc and overall presentation. We felt it was satisfactorily clean but could do with a deep clean (shower cubicles, floor under the oven door, window cills, oven, very dusty under furniture which was easy to move to get under it). However, overall a good stay and we would stay again.

The property was exactly as shown in the photos. Spotlessly clean with very good quality furniture, beds, bedding and towels. The showers were particularly good being plenty of room, have had ones that were only just big enough. The views were superb and the location was really good for Keswick shopping and buses. The only criticism was the cooking appliances were looking old and worn out and seemed ready to be replaced to bring it up the 5* quality of the rest of the property.
