A compact property with very good facilities, and an excellent aspect with views to Derwentwater.

Lovely walks from house. Comfortable and easy to get into Keswick

Shower which we had read about. It was ok but a bit awkward not being able to stand up in bath

This is a lovely, cosy cottage. Perfect for being close to Keswick and the fells. It was spotlessly clean and warm and had everything you would need for a really enjoyable stay. It was very quiet and relaxing.

Nothing really. Only that there was no freezer compartment in the fridge which would probably be nice in the summer.

The views over the lake and the cosy lounge area

The lack of a proper shower. Although I did know this when I booked but didn't fully appreciate how low the ceiling was and being unable to stand made the hand held shower very tricky and hard not to soak the bathroom floor. Also a very minor thing but the kitchen lacked a freezer or a simple ice box so frozen food was of limits.
