Bianca Rose

Bianca Rose spreads across four floors of a traditional Victorian townhouse in Keswick's Upper Fitz Park. The ground floor holds a shower room and separate toilet. On the first floor, a living room with a 42-inch TV opens onto a dining kitchen equipped for proper cooking—electric oven and hob, dishwasher, microwave, fridge and freezer. The second floor contains two bedrooms: one with a double bed, one with two singles, plus a bathroom with a roll-top bath and walk-in shower. The top floor master bedroom is a super kingsize with dual-aspect windows overlooking the surrounding fells, and has its own en-suite toilet.

The house sleeps six and comes as a whole to yourself. One well-behaved pet is welcome. Electricity, Wi-Fi, bed linen and towels are included; gas central heating keeps it warm. Parking is on the road outside. The property sits minutes from Keswick town centre, where you'll find outdoor shops, restaurants and cafés. A pub is within a mile. Walking trails of all difficulties start nearby—the fells are genuinely close, and Derwent Water with its launch cruises is accessible from town. Note that smoking is not permitted inside.
