Lake District Self Catering cottage, Latrigg House, Keswick, sleeps 10

Outstanding house rental
Seeking a suitable property to accommodate 10 adults for a long weekend within easy walking distance of Keswick town centre, Latrigg House looked to fit the bill - and proved to be more than fit for purpose. Four bedrooms - all with en suite facilities - and a separate downstairs WC all came in handy, with the Freeview TVs in each room well used for both TV and radio reception. A NAD amplifier in the kitchen has a connecting wire allowing connection to an ipod and the speakers are located in the ceiling - very cool! There's a dedicated parking area outside the house (which is built at right angles to the street) is big enough for three decent sized vehicles) and decor throughout was very good, with only a couple of small stains on walls preventing the accurate description of immaculate. The kitchen is well-stocked both in terms of electrical appliances and crockery etc. Some mean breakfasts were cooked - and the dishwasher coped admirably with the remains.... The views towards the hills are wonderful and the air of peace is priceless. Nit-picking, the seating area in the kitchen is cramped when near full occupancy, the toaster would benefit from an upgrade to a four slot model and the tin opener isn't the best. Wifi was a little variable and the lack of any welcome information was noticeable but not an issue (the file of paperwork has manuals for the washing machine and the wifi code etc but nothing else - resulting in us only belatedly realising that the owners had gone to the trouble of subscribing to Netflix). The excellent rating is completely deserved though and I look forward to returning. Quite simply, wonderful - thanks for taking the trouble to prepare it so well.
