Brilliant location near to the park and easy walk into Keswick also nice to have a parking space. The flat was cleaned to a very high standard and had everything we needed for our stay ,the bed pillows and duvet where good quality and very comfy, we enjoyed our stay
Of all the holiday cottages we have stayed in Keswick this one has the best views, centrally located, own parking space, great sofa to relax after a long day walking. Will be booking again.
The location close to the town and a short walk to Derwentwater is excellent, with the view of Skiddaw from each of the rooms perfect, would highly recommend to those looking to explore Keswick.
Lovely apartment, with everything you could need provided, in the most perfect location with fantastic views. Just a few minutes walk to shops, lake, pubs and a lovely park just across the road. Instructions and guide sent by text/email from the host gave all the information needed. We really enjoyed our stay and would love to stay again in the future.
The accommodation was overall good if a little small. Quality of facilities was good and location excellent. However there needs to be some honesty on where the parking is situated it is not behind the accommodation exactly and you need to carry your luggage quite a distance from your car to the front door as you cannot park directly outside to unload. Second issue and not one that cannot be resolved so easily is that other tenants in the building do not close / shut the front door on entering or exciting so leading to a security issue. Maybe an agreed sign could be placed by the door reminding people to do this.
Our second time staying at Skiddaw View for a short winter break. Itâs the perfect little apartment for a short stay. Really cosy and comfortable, and excellent town centre location. Definitely hope to be back for a third time.
An ideal retreat for two in the centre if Keswick. Immaculately clean and comfortable with the added bonus of a parking space at the rear of the premises. Would and probably will rebook for any future visit to the area
Fantastic stay at Skiddaw view ,ideally situated for the town centre and also for the park for walking dogs.Although small it's beautifully furnished and ideal for 2 people.Bed was really comfortable. Would definitely stay here again .
Skiddaw View is an excellent apartment located within walking distance of the centre of Keswick. Very comfortable for 2 people with everything you could need for a short stay. So nice to have such a big comfortable sofa in an apartment for 2! Parking space waa a bonus too. Couldn't fault a thing apart from the low cloud obscuring the view of Skiddaw!!
Having stayed in numerous places in and around Keswick, this is one we would definitely come back too.
Everything you need for a stay in Keswick - excellent location and good to have your own parking space, even if it was a bit difficult to get into.
Nice flat with everything you need.
The flat is ideally located just 50m away from the restaurants and shops in Keswick. It is well presented with large settee in the lounge and large tv. The kitchen is small but has everything you need for your stay. The bedroom is large with a comfortable bed and plenty of hanging space. It has a bath and combined shower. All you need for a comfortable stay.
We had a lovely week staying at Skiddaw View. The flat was clean, comfortable and well-equipped, and in a very handy position close to town.
One possible drawback to note is it is beside a busy (in the summer anyway) and therefore quite noisy road. It wonât bother everyone and even though it did wake me up, overall I liked the flat enough that I would stay there again.
Keswick Cottages need to update their arrival information - you are met with numerous key safes beside the door and the information KC supply to identify the right safe is not correct - the key safe does not have a cover, and is not black (presumably because it no longer has a cover). Also the property iPad does not provide any useful info about the property except the day of bin collection.
Property very nice, well looked after. Lovely views of Skiddaw from flat so certainly lived up to it's name. Right in the heart of Keswick with easy access to Fitz park across the road for walkies with the dog. Staff very helpful when we had a bit of difficulty with the key safe on arrival. Someone came straight across to help. Would definitely recommend.
All windows face the same way, which means it gets hot in the sun, but on busy road, so don't want to open windows. Tablet for information has nothing about how to work things. Also, I accidentally logged out, while trying to find information about checking out, where to put rubbish, etc. and the tablet wouldn't allow me back in, so I had no info. The TV and hob took a bit of figuring out, with no info. The parking space is actually not that near the flat. Also, no info given about how to access the parking space which has a post in it! I did figure out that the other key provided infact unlocks the post to allow it to be laid flat, but it is a bit of a palaver having to work things out on arrival! There was very little disturbance from other residents and, apart from the traffic, it was quiet, comfortable and pleasant. Very convenient location for town, busses, walks etc.
Excellent customer service from Keswick Cottages. Skiddaw View is a lovely first floor flat with great views to Skiddaw. Clean & comfortable it has a large bedroom with a comfortable bed & plenty storage. The hall shelving provided ample space for all the bits & pieces eg walking gear, dog toys etc. Specious clean bathroom with plenty hot water. The lounge & kitchen were quite small but perfectly formed. Lovely comfy sofa for an evening of Netflix. Fitz Park great for those early morning walks with our dog. Saturday is market day so lots of fresh food to fill the fridge & larder. Keswick has lots of lovely walks & we could have spent our whole week walking there but having a dedicated parking space gave us the freedom to go off to some of our other favourite walks Grasmere to Ambleside via Rydal Water (the Badger for refreshments), Coniston Lake (coffee at the Herdwick excellent biggest ever bacon buttie) and Hawkshead (the Little Ice Cream Shop). And many more places. Bonus, we managed to miss the one heavy downpour & had decent weather.
Excellent apartment in a fantastic location within the town. Immaculately clean and very comfortable with private parking.
The only negative if being really picky, is to have the poles from the parking spot removed as it can be very tight.
We had a fantastic stay at Keswick, it was a relaxing place, especially on a rainy day, it was a short walk into town, lots of local shops, restaurants and pubs. Would definitely recommend and come back.
The apartment was extremely clean and warm and very welcoming on our arrival. Bed was very comfortable, slightly disappointed it was only a double but still comfortable.
Everything you could need in the kitchen and heating remained constant to keep apartment warm.
Only negative point was the noise from stairs where people came in and out late at night as walls very thin.
