The house was well situated within Keswick, car could be parked in the properties own space very useful in busy months. Bed extremely comfortable, and plenty of games, books, jigsaws etc for entertainment. Being able to walk to shops, pubs and restaurants was ideal. A great place for reaching beautiful lake walks as well as the mountainous ones. This property is ideal for couples or families

Perfect location and very clean, has everything you would need and the board games were great to use. I would say that it needs an upgrade as its quite outdated. The sockets are in odd places and was hard to find one at times. USB sockets is a must in this day and age. Sofa was abit uncomfortable maybe a footstool so you can put your feet up after a long day of walking. Windows difficult to use.
