This house is in the best location for Keswick town. It is warm and welcoming and very comfortable for larger groups with plenty of room and alternatives to the TV to keep you occupied whilst indoors. The bedroom on the ground floor was helpful for people with mobility issues.

An excellent stay at the Gables. The property has 1 car parking space, disk parking at the front and a free street a 2 minute walk away. The location is brilliant, just around the corner from the town centre. Great dog friendly place with a good, enclosed rear garden. Chris the host was great, we were able to pay for an extra dog and check in earlyRead more. The place is clean and very warm with a thermostat on each floor. Great spaces for entertaining and a fantastic, well stocked kitchen. Great stay!!! Hide

We had a lovely holiday with a group of 3 families including a 4 year old. Lovely roomy and comfortable house central to Keswick but Fitz Park is over the road. Small back garden perfect for a sunny evening. Very well equipped kitchen and sunny big dining room. I didn't want to leave!
