ALL FUTURE BOOKINGS TEMPORARILY SUSPENDED DUE TO FLOOD DAMAGE.

I am particularly interested in anyone with holiday property in Edinburgh who may be interested in a reciprocal holiday, no charges either way,

The popular town of Keswick — the centre for the Northern Lake District — has much to offer the visitor. There are numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, miniature golf, swimming pool, parks, Century Theatre, cinema, fishing, and the beautiful lake of Derwentwater is only a few minutes walk from the town centre. Keswick provides easy access to the spectacular countryside which can be explored either by car or on foot. The southern Lakes, Solway Coast and Hadrian’s Wall are all within easy motoring distance.

The Cottage: Amberley.  E.T.C. Four stars

A stone built semi-detached house, guaranteed to be spotlessly clean, Amberley was our family home for many years, our children grew up here, enjoying the security and safety of the enclosed rear garden and the small area of woodland beyond (which we purchased some years ago). 
It is situated in the suburb of Crosthwaite, one of the most select areas of the Lakeland market town of Keswick. The cottage is just across the road from the River Greta, away from the noise and bustle yet just a 5 minute stroll through the park from the town centre.
Walkers can forget the car, you're straight out the door on to any one of a selection of walks to suit all tastes and abilities.
 Comfortable and well-equipped, Amberley provides a great base for a family holiday with enclosed gardens to the front and rear and a conservatory - ideal for relaxing after a day exploring the area. There is a lovely Olde Worlde real-ale pub just 3 minutes stroll up the road to relax in after a day's activities.  The property has its own private parking and is a delightful five minute, riverside stroll through Fitz Park from the town’s amenities. 
The property is well cared for by us, the owners, (We live nearby) and It is ideal for walkers or families at any time of year.

Sorry, no smoking or pets, if you smoke you'll have to go in the garden. I'm a dog lover myself but unfortunately we've had some awful experiences with so-called "well-behaved dogs" but, however, if you can guarantee via up-front refundable premium of £50 that your dog is well behaved I may bend if you phone me.
