    “Superb location plus allocated parking spot in the centre of Keswick.”

    Plenty of room in entrance hall for storing walking gear, rucksacks, boots etc. Very comfortable bed, superb shower room and toilet. Would fully recommend this property! Also so lovely to see such a vibrant and bustling community, local cinema showing up to date films. Excellent selection of shops plus a super market with a wide selection of stalls on a Thursday and Saturday.
