"Nice sized house, although we only used two of the bedrooms."
Lovely comfy chairs in the lounge, comfy beds, well appointed kitchen with everything you might need, great showers and a bath with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Good tv reception, clean, tidy, close to town centre. Parking is on street and very busy. We had to park about 100 metres away which was no issue for us but could maybe be for some. No separate recycling collection so you need to take your recycling into town to recycling bins which are tricky to locate! We couldn’t turn the heating down in midsummer, even following the instructions but all the radiators had thermostats so we just turned them all off. A tumble dryer in the outhouse with the washing machine would be useful in the Lake District but these are all minor items of feedback and not criticisms of a really great value and pleasant place to stay.

"The cottage was very clean and in a good position from the center area, with a maximum 5-minute walk."
The only issue we had was with the boiler, although when we contacted them, they arranged the system immediately. I am not giving full marks for comfort because the steps are very steep, especially for me, who suffers from knee problems.

"We stayed for 3 nights at melrose house."
The location is excellent a short walk into the center of Keswick , walks to the hills close enough to not need a car and easy access to the lakes. House was clean and had everything we needed. Very much recommended for family’s.

"Really nice and comfortable stay right in the heart of Keswick."
The only small issue that I had was the WiFi was quite slow. Other than that, everything else was perfect.
