The open plan extension was really comfortable and warm and excellent for the whole party to be in the same room but not crowded. The kitchen was well equipped, clean and a joy to cook in. The heating system was easy to adjust and kept the house really warm for a winter stay. En suite bathrooms for all bedrooms was a bonus. We would definitely stay here again as it was far enough from the centre of town to be peaceful and quiet but close enough to walk in for a meal, shopping or pubs. Very close to Fitz Park for dog walks too.

Barely any traffic passing by really left us feeling like we were in the middle of nowhere. Off street parking in Keswick is a must and this was just perfect for us. We will be back!
