This townhouse was very spacious for five adults, and within a 7 minute walk of the center of Keswick and Dermwentwater. There are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms. The electric fireplace was very nice. The kitchen has been redone really well. Some room for improvements would be replacing the carpet in the living and dining rooms. It is very old and dirty. The bathrooms could use some towel bars. The back door has a big gap along the side which makes the kitchen and downstairs bath cold. The bedroom mattress seemed to be higher in the middle and slant towards the sides. If these upgrades were made, then the house would be wonderful. All said, it was a convenient location and spacious.
