    “For info, we have stayed at this property 8 times.”

    So, just negative points: No materials were provided to clean the shower, sinks and kitchen sink. No spare refuse bags and ties were provided for the general waste bin under the sink. We also asked twice for a spare key to be provided since my son has his own schedule. This was not provided; although we managed, it was not always convenient.

The property

Nestled between the foothills of Skiddaw and the shores of Derwentwater, in the market town of Keswick, is this mid-terrace, period stone property, Primrose Cottage. Located within 5 minutes of Keswick Market Square and being just a short distance from River Greta and Fitz Park, Primrose Cottage is a perfect break for a family of four/couples or friends looking to escape to the Lake District. Internally, the cottage has been lovingly restored by its owners and has many original features.

It is presented in a traditional style with a well-appointed and equipped kitchen/diner, featuring all the mod cons needed for a week away. The cosy and welcoming sitting room invites you to relax, with a gas fire and TV for spending down time in the evening. Head out the back door to access the enclosed paved courtyard, with mature shrubs and dining set for when you fancy breakfast outside. Head upstairs and discover the bedrooms, both featuring king sized beds, both neutrally presented with rustic features. There is also a convenient cloakroom with WC and basin Keswick's superb amenities are just a short walk away, including a range of excellent restaurants, charming tea rooms, quirky bars and independent and antique shops.
