Comfortable flat and quite well equipped. (Measuring jug would be handy please). Had issues with toilet cistern and water in bottom of dishwasher but both sorted by Cottages.com fairly promptly. Otherwise the flat is spacious and in an excellent position for the Keswick Convention which was being held nearby. So thankful that it was on the ground floor and I didn’t have to manage the stairs. Can be a little noisy as lots of people can walk past the lounge window on their way to other dwellings. Thanks to the cleaners who came in mid stay (I was there for 2 weeks) and changed the bed linen etc. A note informing me of the time she would come was left for me initially.
