18 Elm Court

Keswick sits on the edge of the Lake District, and 18 Elm Court puts you minutes from the high street yet close enough to the fells for a morning walk straight from the door. The village location means a pub is within a mile, and the town's shops and restaurants are a level stroll away.

The semi-detached house sleeps four across two bedrooms: a double bed on the first floor and two singles in the second bedroom. There is one bathroom with a bath and shower. Downstairs, the living and dining room opens onto a patio garden, with a kitchen that has what you need to cook properly—oven, hob, dishwasher and microwave. A washer-dryer takes care of laundry. Wi-Fi is on, bed linen and towels are provided, and heating and hot water are covered. There is parking for one car on site. Books, DVDs and board games are there if you want them, and a cot and highchair can be arranged if you need them.

This is a non-smoking property. It works well for small families, couples or friends looking for a base that splits the difference between town life and serious walking country.
