Kingstarn, Keswick, Cumbria
|
|
This was the second house I bought in Keswick in 1989. Some 2/3rds of my bookings are from past guests, many of whom have been returning regularly for over 10 years. Kingstarn is a spacious, light Victorian Town House in Acorn Street, which is some 5 minutes level walk from the centre of Keswick. From a number of rooms there are pleasant views towards the fells. Kingstarn is equipped to a good standard with quality carpets throughout the house and, again, the property enjoys full gas central heating.
