Excellent holiday cottage, very tidy and clean. Kitchen well stocked with equipment. Outstanding . Comfy beds and lots of bathrooms. Lovely views across Keswick and the fells. Now, if you could do something about the Lakes weather!The only suggestions I can make for improvement are maybe internet speeds. I measured 2..6 Mbps which is a struggle to stream anything comfortably without a bit of stuttering. A salad spinner would also be good. These are minor things as we really enjoyed our stay and would come back again.

Lovely property in a good position with a wonderful view across Keswick and the Mountains. One of the nicest we have stayed in. Nice enclosed rear garden and good facilities. The three bathrooms were very much appreciated. Did I mention the views 😀Agee with previous comments on the front steps being a little unsafe for small children and also the safety doors in the property are heavy and would easily trap small fingers. My elderly mum didn't have the strength to open them so we had to wedge them.
