The Birches is in Keswick, on the edge of town. It's a semi-detached house, sleeps eight. Four bedrooms, two bathrooms. It's got a 4 Star rating. It's clean and works well for a group. There are three floors, so there are stairs. They're normal house stairs.
The garden is enclosed. It's lawn. Good if you've got a dog, or if kids want to run around. You can sit out on the patio.
It's about a ten minute level walk into Keswick centre. You can leave the car. The town has shops, pubs, a couple of museums. The Theatre by the Lake is good. The Alhambra is a proper old cinema.
