We had a great stay and are looking forward to visit The Lookout again !
Perfect cottage for a family catch up in a great location within walking distance of Keswick, plenty of room for everyone to have their own space and facilities wee excellent. Only drawback is all the garden furniture was decayed and crumbling so nowhere really to enjoy the lovely big (but somewhat overgrown garden). Will definitely live to go back.

A brilliant place for a family holiday.
Beautiful house with amazing ever changing views of the mountains. A bonus that the family with toddler could be secluded down in the lower apartment so that early waking didn’t disturb the rest of the household. And having the pool table was a perfect distraction for rainy days.

Relaxing and Comfortable Stay!
The Lookout is amazing. The rooms are spacious and comfortable, the downstairs living area is cosy with the log burner roaring, the kitchen facilities are really good, everything you need is there.
The younger ones enjoyed the pool table and table tennis whilst the older ones enjoyed the amazing views. Location is great, close to the old railway line into Keswick and there is a pub is less than 5 minutes away. Bus stop just down the road for those tired legs on the way home.

A lovely cosy stay in Keswick
This was our third stay at the Lookout and we have just booked for next year. The house is lovely, clean and cosy. It is the perfect space for the 10 of us and an easy walking distance into Keswick. We can't fault it and look forward to returning.
Lovely property with stunning views , pity about the weather but it is the lakes , there was some difficulty with the door entry system but after a few calls this was sorted

We had an excellent week in this lovely house.
The Lookout is a very comfortable house with splendid views of the mountains. Plenty to do in the area and a comfortable place to return to after a day out. It's well equipped for self catering, but also only a short walk into Keswick for its shops, pubs and restaurants

Perfect getaway for a large group!
The house has big bedrooms for all guests with bathrooms. The living room downstairs is great for relaxing and the upstairs dining room perfect for a big dinner! Great location to lots of great walks and only a short walk to Keswick for shops, pubs and cafes. Best part is the view to wake up to every morning!!!

Excellent location with plenty of space for 2 families
Great location with easy walk into the centre of Keswick. The accomodation is modern with plenty of space for 2 families including 5 teenagers. The table football table was a big plus on the rainy days. Easy access to other areas of the lakes.
Had a fantastic stay, location is perfect to town and lovely walks. Everything you need at the house only thing missing was maybe a stair gate at top of steep steps to downstairs appartnent and garden made sucure for children and dogs

A beautiful property in a quiet location with fantastic views.
We stayed at The Lookout with our family for my husband’s 75th birthday. The whole house has a lovely feel to it and felt very homely! The bedrooms and en-suites are very spacious and the downstairs is perfect for relaxing in front of the log burner after a day of walking! Thank you for the happy memories we have of our stay at The Lookout!

The Lookout is a lovely house with plenty of space and facilities. We stayed with family members for a wedding anniversary celebration and had a great time... the house is walkable to Keswick, has loads of parking, great cooking facilities and comfortable bedrooms.... even a ping pong table!

A wonderful week with stunning views and comfortable accommodation.
This was our 4th visit and we have booked for 2026. We love the accommodation. It's comfortable, spacious and warm. It suits our needs perfectly as we love walking and being in the countryside. The outside patio area is great, weather permitting - this year we used it a lot. The showers are brilliant and all the beds are comfy. There's plenty of space in the communal areas for eating and the kitchens are well equipped. The garden is pretty with lovely views.
