This was our second visit to The Duck House. It is just perfect for our needs. Everything one one level, comfortable beds, well stocked kitchen and fab views from the sun room. Great fell walks from the door and a bus service to Keswick. The corner shop and cafe are great as is the local pub, all an easy walk. We are all ready to book again next year

What a wonderful cottage in a fantastic location. Felt very rural and peaceful, yet only a few minutes from the A66 and 10 minutes into Keswick. The whole Lake District is very accessible from here. The cottage was extremely spacious, bright and airy. Very well equipped, including walking poles which were very handy. Thanks for an amazing stay.

A lovely clean place to stay. In a great location and it has a lovely stream running through the garden. Me and my husband sat out in the garden at night and watched the resident hedgehog running around. The kitchen is well equipped and is a good base for the north lakes.
