Keswick was very busy late in October - not something I had expected - but we managed to find a very spacious and comfortable house a few minutes drive from the centre of Town, up on a hill with commanding views of the magnificent countryside.

While the house has a lovely old-fashioned feel, the kitchen is modern and fully equipped with everything one needs. Comms were good with excellent wifi, and there was parking off-street. The area is very quiet indeed, and there was an outside entertainment area which would prove wonderful in sumer!

There were a few small issues, such as lightbulbs not working and no replacements, but the agent urged us to report all problems promptly, which we did on leaving, so no doubt everything would have been sorted by now.

The house has four bedrooms (or more?), but since there were only two of us, we were given full reign over only the bottom floor, with two en-suite bedrooms. The only suggestion I can humbly give to the owners of this excellent home is to add brighter lights to the second bathroom.

All in all, a lovely stay in a beautiful little town, (which is an excellent base to explore the Lake District).
