    “The property is in a beautiful setting and well positioned for Keswick and Penrith.”

    We thought we were the only property but turns out we were attached to a smaller rental property. Inside the property is large, spacious and well presented - the communal areas are perfect for large groups. The kitchen is well catered for and the utility room was well used as we had typically British weather. As the bedrooms of the larger property sit over the smaller property there is a problem with noise. Not sure how this can be overcome as it is an old property - maybe thicker underlay on ...

    We thought we were the only property but turns out we were attached to a smaller rental property. Inside the property is large, spacious and well presented - the communal areas are perfect for large groups. The kitchen is well catered for and the utility room was well used as we had typically British weather. As the bedrooms of the larger property sit over the smaller property there is a problem with noise. Not sure how this can be overcome as it is an old property - maybe thicker underlay on the carpets? The bedrooms were an excellent size and well presented but all of us suffered from interrupted sleep due to uncomfortable mattresses. There is WiFi in the property which is very intermittent - it would be helpful to have more information on the local area (walks etc) so you are not so reliant on the WiFi. Overall, we had a lovely stay at the property.

    Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback. We take all comments on board. We do find that bedding and mattresses are down to personal preferences. The Lakelovers Owner Relations Team Property Owner
