    “This was our second stay at Grisedale View.”

    We enjoyed it so much last November we booked it again for this year. The property is so spacious and homely with all mod cons. It was a wonderful place to sit out Storm Debi! Its also a very manageable walk along the cycle track out of Keswick and close to the bus stops if either you don't fancy the walk or if you want to go further afield. Maybe Windermere Grasmere or from the town, Borrowdale. Of course there are sooo many walks and fells to choose from and that's before you check out ...
