Robinson is a lovely, comfortable, spacious home from home. A great base for a lake district holiday whatever the weather (we were lucky enough to have a beautiful sunny week).

Simply superb ! A great find right in the centre of Keswick - clean tidy with a well stocked Kitchen with a separate dining room. A lovely little area to sit out the back in the sunshine - which we were blessed with. Will definitely use again - strongly recommend.
