Great for being close to the center of Keswick. Just around the corner for the bus station if you wanted to leave your car. The cottage was comfortable, and had every thing you would need if you were to cook. If you wanted to eat out there were plenty of places avaliable to chose from. Plenty of local places to go for a walk. We had the dog and the park is not far away. The weather was in our favour for the week we had a great time.
