Lovely position of the cottage. Everything you would need in a cottage. For us it is in need of a new mattress. Everything else fine. Also a definite cupboard essentials that you don't think to take with you ie salt and pepper pots there but need filling. Also a little welcome pack that includes some tea bags coffee sachets and small milk would be appreciated by guests. We ran a guest house in Keswick so am afraid I pick up on small things. Overall a lovely stay.

We loved our week in Keswick, the accommodation was lovely and cosy and within 10 min walking distance to the town and lots of dog walks.Our two dogs loved the bit of garden, it was a pain not having direct access to the garden from the house but it wouldn't stop us booking again. There was just a couple of things that we think could be improved - the bedding on the double bed didn't fit properly and the bottom sheet kept coming off and the duvet was not big enough and It could do with a outside light in the back garden.
