What a fantastic place to stay.
What a fantastic place to stay. A lovely little house located just off the village green, a stones throw to the excellent local pub, the Sun Inn. Quick access to both Keswick and Cockermouth both by car and bus.Very comfy inside, all the amenities you'd ever need regardless of the season you're visiting.Nice little sun trap garden to relax in before and after heading out. Very easy key system for arrival/departure. Good WIFI. Definitely recommend.

Pretty little cottage. Very good kitchen facilities. Location excellent. Warm and dry. Furnishings clean but jaded. Some attention to detail would make such a difference. Unlikely to return because of this
