"Comfortable as ever at our favourite place to stay in Keswick."
It's always a delight. Having said that we were a little disappointed that on arrival there were only 2 almost finished loo rolls, one in each loo. Also felt that the general cleaning left a little to be desired. I wondered if my expectations are too high. Everything else fab, but felt that we probably left it cleaner than when we arrived. Still great though, nothing major. The smart tv a good addition for the evenings.
