Great location for Keswick town and lovely walks, but found the weekly rate very expensive even on off peak, and the 20 per dog of which we paid for 3, then a steep booking fee and an insurance waiver which bumped the price up. The bungalow is very well equipped and warm and cosy, but is in dier need of updating, as its stuck in the 70's. Great garRead moreden for the dogs though and the Birds are endless in all the trees and bushes. Hide
