Excellent Stay in Keswick

early breakfast friendly service central location great host
The host allowed us to have breakfast earlier because we had an early start. The service was friendly and the staff knew the area well. Breakfast was great on both days. The location is perfect with a short walk into the town centre (2-3 minutes).
I noticed dust and cobwebs on the walls and ceilings in the bedroom, but this was a very minor issue.
