We have stayed here many times and as usual the cottage was clean and welcoming. It’s a lovely short walk through the park into Keswick town centre. The garden is ideal for sunny days, we had a couple this holiday! Having said this the small patio is desperately in need of a clean after the winter months.

On arrival we were very disappointed to find the cottage in need of a thorough clean.The lock on the bathroom door does not work, neither does the hoover, main light in the living room has only one bulb working, the sofas and dining room chairs uncomfortable and for the first time in 25 years of staying in a holiday cottage in the lakes there was no Christmas tree or welcome pack.The cottage however is perfectly situated just a short walk from Keswick through Fitz park. Although I envision parking difficulties at the height of the season we didn’t have a problem.As it stands, we would not recommend or return, however if the aforementioned issues were resolved we would, due to the perfect location.
