It was very clean and a lovely bungalow. We had a problem with parking our cars due to the extensive building work with the house at the end of the road, next door. Not a problem that could be resolved â°

It was great to find somewhere with parking in Keswick and the views from the house and especially the patio are wonderful. The area is very peaceful and it was just a short walk into the town centre (around 10 minutes). We were able to do lots of hikes from the property and didn't use the car all week. We'd certainly stay again.
