View from breakfast table to the hills was wonderful. It was only a 15 minute walk into Keswick and only 5 minutes to the Pheasant Inn where we had 2 lovely meals. The description mentions central heating but this was in the form of electric wall mounted heaters. Moving the table around for more than 4 people might be a bit challenging. You can get buses from Keswick to the main towns in the Lake District on a regular basis and they were always on time.

Could watch next-door TV clearly and see lady washing dishes. Not good. Small bedrooms okay for us might be awkward for family and my double bed had very sharp wood corners easily bashing of leg when walking around bed to get by window again not good. But lodge views to hills were superb rooms were clean well equipped good information pack and email information door locks on code no key to worry about losing. Overall we would recommend as almost perfect to enjoy the lake district from and would definitely be interested in booking again soon.
