“We had a fantastic weekend in Latrigg House.”

Warm, spacious and comfortable with more than enough room for ten adults attending a family wedding.

“The property while expensive was large, clean and had the facilities a large family requires.”

However, asking us to clean the place to a standard we found it is unacceptable. They have cleaners and we paid a lot of money. Only having access to the property on day 1 at 16:00 and asking us to leave by 09:00 on departure is unacceptable, when the standard is 10:00am.

- Ramesh, August 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased that the property was clean and had everything you required for your family holiday. We are sorry to hear that their was some misunderstanding regarding the check out time, we have checked your confirmation and can see that the times we confirmed to you were 4pm arrival and 10am, we will however look in to this to see if there is conflicting information somewhere and make changes if necessary.

“Very spacious house.”

Onsuites in all bedrooms were modern and spacious. Ample room in the lounge for our party of 8 adults and 2 dogs. Lovely big kitchen and large table, had everything we needed to enjoy our week away.

- Dorothy, June 2024
David May 2024

“Ideal property for a larger party.”

An ensuite with every bedroom was very convenient and private off street parking a bonus. A very comfortable and well equipped house which we hope to book again in the future

- David, May 2024
Chris May 2024

“Overall the accommodation met the needs of 8 adults.”

We could park 3 cars at the property. We have some minor points to note. The bed linen and towels were average. Bath sheets would have been better. The fitted sheets did not stay on the bed. Whilst cleaning at the end of our stay. The Henry hoover had to be partially emptied by hand because it had not been emptied for some time. This was rather an unpleasant task and a little discouraging to vacuum. Maybe the cleaners use there own equipment. We still think overall the accommodation is very good.

- Chris, May 2024
Gillian May 2024

“An extra hand towel in each room would be nice.”

A hairdryer in each room also. Fantastic stay though.

- Gillian, May 2024
Maggie March 2024

“We had an amazing time as a family in Latrigg House.”

Such a comfortable space and excellent off road parking! Plenty of space / cooking equipment / facilities. To reach perfection for us there would have been a large bike shed outside to store bikes but I recognise this is not necessary for most people! Absolutely brilliant. Couldn’t fault it.

- Maggie, March 2024
Caroline November 2023

“The house was really warm .”

..kitchen facilities good. The front room layout wasn't great ..TV too far away for everyone to see. The wood burner was too small...we took logs with us and they wouldn't fit in the fire. All bedrooms being ensuite was a bonus although the one one the 1st floor needs updating.

- Caroline, November 2023

Thank you for your feedback. The owner will be able to see this review and action where necessary. We are glad that you enjoyed the property. Lake District Lodge Holidays Owner Relations Property Owner
John September 2023

“A well appointed venue which met all the needs of our walking group, every bedroom being en-suite was appreciated.”

The kitchen was well equipped for feeding 10 guests. Modern appliances made cooking, dishwashing and laundry easy. The location in central Keswick with ample off-road parking was a bonus.

- John, September 2023
Paul July 2023

“A lovely house for a large family stay and convenient for this part of the world.”

No major issues but the shower pressure on the top floor needs attention which resulted in people needing to take showers on the middle floor - very inconvenient which is a shame. Hope this can be sorted as we would like to rebook.

- Paul, July 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We are pleased to see that you enjoyed your stay. We will ask our Maintenance Team to look into the issue with the shower. The Lakes Cottage Holidays Owner Relations Team Property Owner
Brigid May 2023

“Lovely house, great location.”

Unfortunately the fridges froze all our salad and veg. We had not changed any settings. One of the showers wasn't working and the kettle wouldn't switch off. We have reported these issues to Sykes. But would recommend otherwise.

- Brigid, May 2023
Rabia May 2023

“I had a comfortable stay at latrigg house .”

Not happy with the late check in n v early check out time though .

- Rabia, May 2023

Thank you for your comments. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We have taken all your comments on board and have changed the check out time to 10am. The Lakes Cottage Holidays Owner Relations Team Property Owner
Laura May 2023

“Lovely house with enough space for the 7 of us and 2 dogs.”

All bedrooms looked out onto skiddaw which was great. Our only issue, which is more probably to do with the letting company is the amount of jobs the guests are expected to do with a 9am checkout. 9am seems early to checkout when checkin isn't until 4pm

- Laura, May 2023

Thank you for your feedback. We hope you enjoyed your overall stay. We will take your comments onboard. We have now changed the check out time to 10am. We hope to see you again soon. The owner relations team - Lakes Cottage Holidays Property Owner
Geoffrey April 2023

“What we liked: - Great quiet location - easy short walk to town and Fitz park - Parking on site for 3 cars -Very comfortable house with everything we needed - Bathroom in each bedroom - Two fridges - great for big family stay!”

What we didn't like: 9am checkout! - there were reminders everywhere of jobs to do on leaving - strip beds, hoover, clear rubbish, food etc, preferably leave dishwasher empty. We then got an e mail reminding us of all these expectations again. Tidying up is fine and we always leave places clean, but to achieve all these chores with baby and dog by 9am means no breakfast. The note about leaving absolutely no dog hair is pretty impossible when the vacuum provided pumps out smelly air and the attachment head is filthy dirty itself!

- Geoffrey, April 2023
Samantha January 2023

“Wonderful stay.”

The house was beautiful and spotlessly clean. I would definitely book this house again. I stayed with 7 other adults and there was plenty of room for us all.

- Samantha, January 2023
Neil November 2022

“Second time at the property, once again really enjoyed our stay, couple of minor issues, having 8 in the house and having to leave at 9am, now that Covid times are behind us should this be now 10am ?”

? It would be a lot easier for us, also couldn’t find a clothes maiden , this would have been useful having a baby with us, these are minor issues and we would highly recommend the property

- Neil, November 2022
Lynden November 2022

“Latrigg house was the perfect place for a stay in Keswick for our family of 6 adults, 4 children and a baby and 2dogs.”

It was very comfortable, warm, clean and in an excellent location for accessing the town, lake and lovely walks without using the car. I acknowledge some of the negative comments from other reviews about no wood/tools for log burner and bench seating at the dining table which was actually plenty big enough. These were minor issues though compared with the comfort of spacious bedrooms each with modern en suite facilities and comfortable seating for all in the living room. We definitely hope to return to Keswick as a family and stay in Latrigg house again.

- Lynden, November 2022
Simon October 2022

“Great cottage, central location.”

Good size for 4 adults, two dogs and two small kids.

- Simon, October 2022
Ian September 2022

“Lovely property, ideally located close to the park and Keswick town centre.”

It would have been nice to have been able to switch on the central heating at 6 a.m. when we rise, as the house was quite cold. Sufficient hand wash, dishwasher tabs, laundry products and toilet paper would also be a welcome enhancement at c.£200 per night. Overall, a lovely property.

- Ian, September 2022
Penny September 2022

“There were several disappointing things about this property and some good ones.”

There was a bad smell from the drains in the bathrooms on the 1st and 2nd floors on the east side (St Herberts Street side) which didn't go away despite applications of bleach. There was poor water pressure to the top floor (west side) bathroom shower and the hot water to the bath in that bathroom didn't provide enough hot enough water to run a proper bath. The central heating and heated towel rails were not working properly to begin with and there were no instructions in the house to help us resolve this. The plumber came very quickly to help with this (and also to fix a toilet which wasn't working) and he explained that it is a 3 zone system with a thermostat on each floor, that the towel rails run off the heating system and not the hot water, so it's necessary to have the heating on to make the towel rails come on. The top floor radiators etc were not working because they needed bleeding, which we could have done ourselves had there been the appropriate tool. The house information folder was sparse - not only was there nothing to help us with the heating, there were no instructions for some of the appliances, eg. the washing machine and tumble dryer. The towels were very skimpy, thin and poor quality. This had been mentioned in previous reviews but doesn't seem to have been addressed and indicates some lack of care for the finer details from the owner. There was little in the way of cleaning products supplied, apart from washing up liquid and dishwashing tablets (the latter were not replenished at the end of our first of two weeks). There was no bathroom/toilet cleaner, nor proper cleaner for the ceramic hob which doesn't appear to have been cleaned properly for very long time. There were enough dishcloths and tea towels. There were only 4 dining chairs - other seating for dining was benches (which are not comfortable), presumably because the layout of the kitchen/diner with the large central island made what was a fairly large space actually quite cramped and there wouldn't have been room. We're glad to see that the reference to the "gorgeous patio" in the description of the property on the website when we booked has been dropped - it is a small space squeezed between the front of the house and the parking area and faces north. The automatic motion sensitive lights in the hall/landings are a good idea for energy saving but they don't always come on in time to give light as you pass and as there's no way of overriding them to switch on lights it's potentially hazardous on the stairs. Good things: the local rep responded as quickly as she could to our problems with the heating and plumbing and got the plumber to come immediately - he mended the toilet on the spot and sorted out the heating. She also went out and bought 4 new anti-slip mats for the bath/showers and brought them round the same day. On another occasion the local rep brought round batteries for the TV remotes at our request. Location, location, location - the house is very close to the centre of town Parking - very good (and rare) for such a central location - ample space for 3 cars, 4 if you're clever. 4 good sized bedrooms with ensuite. Plenty of hanging space, but no drawers for small items/stuff you wouldn't normally hang up. Comfortable beds, though there should maybe be a question for potential guests about the suitability of feather duvets and pillows for anyone with allergies. TV in every room. Good WiFi. Overall, we enjoyed our stay (we had excellent weather) and the majority of our issues could be addressed with a little more care and attention to detail by the owner.

- Penny, September 2022
Barry August 2022

“A comfortable house for a party of 6 adults and 4 children with a well equipped kitchen the free WiFi was very welcome also were the tv,s in all bedrooms.”

It's in an ideal position with only minutes walk into Keswick amenities and lake shore. The only downside was the lack of hair dryers we had to go out and buy 1 we thought there would be hair dryers it might be an idea to inform guests to bring their own. This didn't detract from the overall enjoyment of the holiday and we have actually just booked again for next year

- Barry, August 2022
Brian July 2022

“We have stayed before and would have been loyal for many years to come were it not for the (mis)management by Sykes.”

The massive price increase is hard to fathom compared to pre-COVID. We moved the booking forward twice due to lockdown rather than cancel, which we could have done and we were punished with massive price increases. We won’t be back

- Brian, July 2022
Jack June 2022

“Had a great stay, house was clean and in a great location-only a 5 minute walk to the town centre!”

- Jack, June 2022
Anne June 2022

“This was a great house for a Lake District holiday for eight of us.”

Two couples & 4 adult children. Very comfortable & well-placed for walking into the fells, as well as pubs/shops/restaurants of Keswick. The house is well equipped & they have clearly paid attention to previous reviews & made improvements- eg mattresses all appeared new & were comfortable, & there are now 2 cafetières! Every bedroom is ensuite & has ample wardrobe space. There’s parking space for 3 cars & a picnic table at the front. No grassy area unfortunately, but that would be icing on the cake. We had a lovely holiday here & I would thoroughly recommend it as a holiday house.

- Anne, June 2022

Thank you for your lovely review, we are so pleased you enjoyed staying at Latrigg House and we are currently planning some more improvements to make your stay even more enjoyable. We would love to welcome you back next time you are in Keswick. Property Owner
Raymond May 2022

“Great property well kept only faults found but they did not in anyway give cause for concern, first bedroom on-suite,extractor fan not operating and first floor heating stat is needing batteries.”

Bath base rather slippy when showering may be needs shower mats ?

- Raymond, May 2022

Thank you for your review, we have checked the extractor fan and replaced all the batteries. We would love to welcome you back the next time you are in Keswick. Property Owner
Julie January 2022

“A large property which was quite suitable for our three families and two dogs.”

Although sadly lacking an enclosed space for the dogs, the car parking for three cars was most welcome. En-suite bathrooms to all four bedrooms was a great benefit. The house was warm and comfortable. A couple of maintenance issues during our stay were dealt with quickly.

- Julie, January 2022
Neil November 2021

“A great property in a great location, plenty of parking in front of the house, ...”

A great property in a great location, plenty of parking in front of the house, the was clean and extremely comfortable, would not hesitate in returning in the future

- Neil, November 2021
Judith November 2021

“The house was warm and welcoming and in a great location for walking in the northern Lakes or around Keswick.”

The en suits in the bedrooms was very welcome but we didn't like the feather pillows and duvets as 3 of our party have a mild allergy to feathers and they cannot be deep cleaned as easily. The kitchen was well equipped except for no cafetière. Luckily I had seen a review that mentioned this and took my own but would have been very annoyed if I had not. The description of the outdoor area made it sound better than it was- not a problem in winter but not a place to sit out and relax in warmer weather. It would be helpful to know that their is no fuel or even tools for the fire-as if you don't want it used. Info on waste was poor.Took a while to find the bin and shocked their was no recycling bin, Otherwise a great weekend.

- Judith, November 2021
Dawn October 2021

“This is the 3rd time that me and my family have stayed at Latrigg, we love it, the location, the space, having all the facilities needed for either chilling or after a walk, we took my 80 year old parents with us again this year the only one thing that concerned us was them having to step in an out of the bath to have a shower, I think it would be a good idea to have a shower cubicle maybe in one of the first floor bathrooms.”

An amazing house look forward to when we can stay again. Would highly recommend

- Dawn, October 2021
Lynn October 2021

“We loved the cottage.”

It was warm and comfortable. However we found that that it needed more kitchen equipment. For example No cafetiere milk jug or sugar bowl. Also the towels for bathroom were thin and small.

- Lynn, October 2021
Jenny August 2021

“Yes. But we stayed two years ago and several things we provided feedback on then haven’t been fixed!”

- the lack of Recycling bins at the house is frankly appalling in today’s recycling climate. I don’t know if that’s a house issue or local council issue. I made two car trips to the recycling centres in the town but most people wouldn’t bother doing that and so everything would go in the normal general waste. - Kitchen door needs a way of holding it back - ideally out of the way of the drawers and microwave. Just a latch will do! - Fix the front door and the 1st floor east bedroom door - both sticking! - Fix top sash of window in same bedroom - wont close. - 1st floor east bedroom Tv won’t switch on - 1st floor east bedroom - bath slow draining. - Also a woodlouse problem in the same bathroom! - The dishwasher door hinges stick on opening. - And it would be nicer to have bigger tv’s in kitchen and lounge - especially as the chairs in the lounge are so far away from the tv

- Jenny, August 2021
Susie August 2021

“Great location & space.”

Fab all bedrooms have bathrooms. Big porch for kit. Kitchen totally workable for a group of nine. Could do with a lick of paint in parts (kitchen, bunk bed room)and some of the mattresses have seen better days and are uncomfortable. Had no hot water, rectified quickly by Sharon from the management agency who was very efficient and apologetic, as was the owner. Would rate higher if it wasn’t for little things like the towels (felt cheap and non absorbent), no bread board, poor lighting in the living room. We did however enjoy our stay and would recommend for a walking group.

- Susie, August 2021
Brenda Mary July 2021

“The house is in a perfect location.”

Plenty of space in all rooms. Lovely to have an ensuite in each room. Towels were a bit small. Plenty of hot water A few more basic cooking utensils would help, pans etc When asking clients to strip bedding make sure that duvets are not stained and all pillows have protectors. This was an issue.

- Brenda Mary, July 2021
Helen July 2021

“Great property for 3 generations of our family to share for a week.”

Surprisingly quiet given it's central location.

“Wonderful place to stay, something for everyone for 3 generations in easy ...”

Wonderful place to stay, something for everyone for 3 generations in easy walking distance: parks, childrens playgrounds pump track, pram walks harder walking and climbing, mountain bike rides, easier lake walks and boat trips shopping very adaptable roomy acommodation with all bedrooms having en suite facilities

- Jennifer, May 2021
Paul April 2021

“On the whole the accommodation was good quality and clean but was really let down with terrible mattresses on all beds they are really cheap and warn out the springs stick through the poor mattresses really affected our stay .”

- Paul, April 2021
Donna September 2020

“Absolutely fabulous place to stay.”

Highly recommend Latrigg house. We were two couples visiting and all agree awesome find. A superb location with off street parking. A short walk into Keswick town. All bathrooms are really nice and spacious. A couple of recommendations if I may would be to provide hand wash in all bathrooms, perhaps a towel in downstairs toilet (can take one from the bedrooms) and on a personal note all bedrooms could cater for bigger beds, keeping the twin beds n bunk beds as they are they’re perfect. Not the greatest comfort/sleep but that is our personal opinion but overall fantastic holiday place to stay whilst visiting the beautiful town of Keswick.

- Donna, September 2020
marie September 2020

“The house was lovely and certainly surpassed our expectations.”

The kitchen is well equipped and very comfortable. We loved having so many large bathrooms. It was warm and cosy.

- marie, September 2020
Jane August 2020

“Our family holiday at Latrigg House was a welcome break away and it was wonderful.”

The house is in a perfect location- just a short walk away from the cafes and pubs in the centre and the beautiful Derwent water. The house itself was spacious, clean and we had a very comfortable stay- there were only 6 of us in a house catering for 10. The washing machine, extra fridge, dishwasher etc- were all utilised and made our stay problem free. As a self catering holiday - particularly during Covid when eating out is trickier - we felt that the only improvement that could be make would be to ensure that there is enough crockery, utensils, knives etc for a self catering holiday for 10. We are most meals at the house and on the odd occasion found we had to improvise or make do. This in no way ruined our holiday. We had a fantastic time at Latrigg House and would definitely return to both the house and Keswick again!

- Jane, August 2020
Iain July 2020

“Really pleased with the standard of accommodation.”

Great location for local shops, bars and restaurants.

- Iain, July 2020
Gary March 2020

“Latrigg House is a superb holiday home with everything a group would need to stay at, the place is immaculate and in a fantastic location!”

Our only small complaint would be for them to change the mattresses on all the beds, they were all very soft and we a group of 9 had sore backs each morning, but we soon walked that off! We do plan to stay again same time next year!

- Gary, March 2020
Mrs Golding March 2020

“The accommodation was excellent, the facilities are above what we have experienced from regular visits to Keswick.”

We are likely to book again. On a minor issue, the bedrooms on the first floor would benefit drawer storage.

Susan February 2020

“Great holiday.”

Lovely house, would definitely recommend for groups and big families

- Susan, February 2020
Neil January 2020

“Really nice house, which worked well for our group of 5.”

I don’t think the kitchen design and table would work for many more people. Everything else was great.

- Neil, January 2020
Philomena November 2019

“Lovely house very cosy and plenty of room for everyone.”

Well equipped with everything we needed. I would book again and some of the other guests said they would too.

- Philomena, November 2019
Alan November 2019

“Excellent holiday house, very warm and comfortable.”

I only put 'met expectations' and not exceeded because we have been before and know how good it is :)

- Alan, November 2019
Jenny September 2019

“We've left a list of things that need fixing with the agent where we picked up the keys”

- Jenny, September 2019
Susan September 2019

“Yes. Dining table was certainly not suitable for 10.”

very cramped. A cot and highchair would have been useful. Outdoor seating was literally a table and bench by the side of the house and not suitable for 10. Outdoor area not safe for dogs . Only one bin with our house number on and as keen recyclers we had to take the recycling elsewhere. Otherwise good.

- Susan, September 2019
Beverley July 2019

“A lovely big house with tasteful decor and spacious bedrooms.”

We loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Good position within the residential area, perfect base for walking. Off street parking was great. Kitchen was very well equipped but large island dominated and seating area was a bit of a squeeze. Only negatives were damp smelling towels, which were fine after we washed them and a bath that was very slow to drain. Also, automatic lights in hallway were a great idea but some at least two bulbs needed replaced. Overall, a lovely place and would definitely return for another holiday.

- Beverley, July 2019
John May 2019

“The house is spacious with high quality bathrooms and decor.”

However the wi fi failed to work after our first night's stay and was not fixed in spite of several requests to do so. The kitchen was woefully under equipped which made catering for our group of 6 challenging at times (and would be more so for 10), the kitchen layout is very inconvenient so that the dining area is squeezed in - eating for 6 was a tight fit (again impossible to sit 10). The lighting in the lounge is inadequate - impossible to read in the evenings, making it useless to be in except to watch TV. There is not enough seating in the lounge for 10 - again a squeeze for 6 people. The bedrooms had no drawer space so we could not unpack properly. The patio is just a picnic bench which is tucked away in front of the parking area. Every room has a TV and there is a NAD amplifier in the kitchen - so lots of tech but lack of the basic essentials. I have written to Sykes in more detail about these issues because I see that others have raised them in the past

- John, May 2019
Paul May 2019

“Just a few comments - We would have liked a hairdryer (the staff very kindly provided one since there was not single one in the house) and a Nespresso type pod coffee machine.”

Otherwise the kitchen was very well-equipped. The 4 bedrooms were comfortable and spacious with lovely bathrooms but a couple of the toilets were very slow to fill up as the water kept running. I think they might need decalcifying. (Is that a word?) The breakfast table was a bit of a squash to sit 7 overweight, happy campers but I don't know how to solve this. The location was fantastic, we loved being able to walk to pubs and restaurants. Overall we were extremely comfortable in Latrigg House, had a wonderful holiday and would love to come back. Thank you sincerely, Paul and Linda Van Eysendeyk

“We stayed here for a week and had a great time.”

Can’t fault it at all it was beautiful house .

- Gary, May 2019
Laurence April 2019

“View of Skiddaw / Latrigg summit worth a mention .”

If I was being extremely picky I would suggest the bathroom towels are a bit small .

- Laurence, April 2019
Jennifer March 2019

“I have nothing but praise for Sykes cottages as the girls in the office were helpful in every way.”

Particularly as there were a few small issues with the property which were rectified as soon as I made them aware. I expected nothing less as I have booked with this company before and quite a few times when it was Lakeland cottage Holidays and they have always given a first class service. My criticisms are aimed at the owners of Latrigg House . 1..a two slice toaster is totally inadequate for a house that accommodates 10 people. ( this comment has been made several times about this property so I'm pleased that I took my own ) 2..There were not enough coat hangers in the two top bedrooms . 3..One of the first floor bedrooms didn't have a mirror or a chair. 4..None of the bedrooms had a chest of drawers which was a real nuisance and although the two top bedrooms had a stand with wire trays on which helped the other two had NOTHING. Although these things are small in themselves they do add up to making a property more comfortable.

- Jennifer, March 2019
Alan February 2019

“Office staff very accommodating.”

In first floor bathrooms, both bath stoppers require immediate attention.

Carol December 2018

“Latrigg House was excellent, spotlessly clean with brilliant facilities, and a short walk from Keswick Town Centre.”

We called to collect the keys about 2.45pm and we were told the house was ready, so we could go in earlier. I also had a phone call on Saturday to make sure everything was ok, so all in all, the service was fantastic as well as the accommodation. We had an amazing long weekend and would definitely book it again in the future, as well as recommending it to our friends and family. Thank you so much.

- Carol, December 2018
Suzanne November 2018

“The house was very comfortable and welcoming.”

Christmas decorations was a nice touch. All the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable with excellant bathroom facilities. On the downside. We were expecting a garden which it stated it had but a front drive was not really acceptable for our 2 dogs. Also if I'm being picky I would say the kitchen table was a little tight to get around due to the huge island in the centre of the kitchen. Having said that it did not detract from our stay and latrigg house is a great house in a great spot.

- Suzanne, November 2018
Kathleen November 2018

“We chose Lattrig House for a holiday with a group of friends because of the en-suite bathrooms and, the bedrooms and bathrooms were indeed clean and comfortable.”

The kitchen was perfectly adequate, though I have to agree with other guests who have commented that there isn’t much room around the dining table. The lounge was also clean and cosy, but we felt would have benefitted from a coffee table in front of the sofa to put drinks on. I also agree with other guests that the outside space, which is great for parking , is not really a garden! On the whole, it is in a good location and is an attractive, clean and comfortable property which I would be happy to revisit.

- Kathleen, November 2018
John June 2018

“Overall we were very happy with the holiday.”

Any questions we had before setting out on the holiday were promptly and fully answered for us. A washing line would have facilitated the drying of non-tumble dry items. Not all the cooking pans were absolutely clean. Elsewhere the house was immaculate. The twin beds were each made up with doubled-over double duvets - effectively at 2 x 10.5 tog each bed. Even in normal temperatures a 21 tog duvet would have been excessive. A stick-on blind on the Velux window at the top of the stairs on the second floor would have helped reduce heat and light.

- John, June 2018
Claire June 2018

“Great property fab facilities we all loved it.”

Confusion over provision of towels. Listing said there was and also there wasn’t. Couldn’t get answer when I called to check so took towels, one member of the party even bought one on the day but when we arrived towels were on the beds. Also television in Kingsize room had a blue light flashing in middle of night. Couldn’t find socket to switch off television.

The property

Latrigg House is a fantastic holiday home located in the popular market town of Keswick.
