"We enjoyed a lovely stay in Jocelyn's beautiful & spotlessly clean home from home.
Communication was great & everything was as expected.
Proximity to Moot Hall was a bonus - not too far to hobble home post Bob Graham round"

"Jocelyn's house is a great base for a large group (perfect for 2 families) looking to explore the lakes around Keswick.
The location is a short walk to Keswick and Derwentwater and has beautiful fell views as soon as you step out of the front door.
Parking is right in front of the house."

"We stayed for a couple of nights and we'll definitely be coming back. The house is beautiful and on a nice quiet street.
Although the house is big it felt really cosy and was always warm."
