The property was very central but it wasnât noisy at all. There was n allocated parking space which is a real bonus in Keswick. The flat was very clean & well equipped. The shower was hot & powerful and the kitchen had everything required. Our only issues was that we all found the beds uncomfortable. The mattresses were of good quality they just didnât meet our preferences. Iâm sure other people would find them perfect. Despite this minor issue we would definitely return to this fantastic property.
