Really nice accommodation for 2 people and a dog set in a beautiful part of the lake district. Good quality kitchen for self catering and a comfortable leather sofa and armchair in the lounge area.

The property is well located in the Borrowdale Valley, with lovely walks along the Coast to Coast route right on the doorstep, and around 20 minutes from Keswick. It is basic but functional accommodation and suitable for a lower-budget holiday. The separate sitting room and living area were useful, and the property had the essentials needed for a sRead morehort stay. However, it is definitely more of a no-frills property and could be made more comfortable. Some additional basic supplies and a few improvements to comfort, such as providing extra towels and simple kitchen essentials like salt and pepper, would make a big difference to the overall experience. The parking area was quite busy with builders vans during our stay. Hide

The apartment was in a brilliant location, stunning views and close to the brilliant bus network so no need to use the car . The apartment itself was beautifully furnished and decorated and we made use of the lovely garden. We visited Kiln How 40 years ago for our honeymoon and decided to return for our Ruby wedding celebration.

A lovely quiet place to stay in a wonderful location - close to public transport with great walks from the property. The property was clean and very comfortable and had everything we needed for a week in the Lake District.

We enjoyed our stay in the apartment , the accommodation was spotless, the lounge & kitchen were lovely & modern, but would benefit from a couple more bits of cutlery & crockery.
