  • Elaine

    There was plenty of space and was very well equipped. Unfortunately the freezer compartment was frozen up and the shower tray was slippery.

  • Rebecca

    Really well equipped too. Would definitely come again.

  • Steven

    It is so well stocked with kitchenware. It is in a very picturesque setting. It has a lovely decked area to sit out on. Ideally situated with a 15/20 minute walk to the centre of Keswick and Derwent water Lake. It is close to main roads between Penrith and Cockermouth. Easy road access to both the North and South Lakes.
