Fantastic property lovely layout plenty of room for our party kitchen full of all utensils and crockery we needed for our stay Floorboards a little squeaky especially on top floor but otherwise we really enjoyed our stay
We didn't end up in Greta House, our original accommodations as there was a problem with the oven. We were however offered two other lodges for our large 7 party. Which suited our needs
Very nice stay, convenient for Keswick. Nice clean property, good value for money.
Michelle
Cottage was lovely but a downstairs shower would be welcome. Its a bit difficult carrying a dog upstairs to bath after very wet muddy walks. Luckily our dog wasnt to bit and my husband able to do this. Definitely would be a welcome addition or even an outside dog shower.
