A very special weekend

Me, my partner and the dog had an amazing 3 night stay at Skiddaw View apartment. It was exactly as described with some thoughtful extras. It was my partners 40th birthday and they had left a card and prosecco for our arrival, as well as a doggy gift pack, to mention a few. Really appreciate the personal touches. The apartment was exceptionally clean, the kitchen was well equipped and sofa was comfortable. The view was fab and it was lovely to see what we’d climbed up from the window. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend!

Our second time staying at Skiddaw View for a short winter break. It’s 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.

Just perfect

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.

Short three day stay

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.

Excellent central apartment

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.

Skiddaw view

Good location close to town centre and park and includes car park which is a bit tight because of post either side. Windows would not stop open

Fantastic location!

We’ve just got back from our stay at Skiddaw view and we’re very impressed. The apartment is perfectly located in the centre of Keswick, we didn’t need to use the car at all over our long weekend which was a blessing! The apartment was perfect for myself, my partner and our dog and had everything we needed for our stay, with fantastic views. Lots of bars, restaurants and cafes nearby and a good starting point for walks of all abilities. I would particularly recommend Jaspers coffee house down the road for breakfast! Thank you for a lovely stay!

Clean, comfortable and warm

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.

Good location well equipped flat with the bonus of parking space

This flat was in a great central location. It was comfortable and well equipped with all we needed for our stay. We did have a couple of minor issues which Rebecca and Antony of Keswick Cottages resolved quickly as they were very approachable and had a lovely helpful manner. There was scaffolding around the flats which we were made aware of prior to stay ,it did obscure view but did not disrupt our holiday . we had a great holiday and would certainly book this accommodation again in the future.

Skiddaw View

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.

Overall Good

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.

A Little Gem

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

Skiddaw View Keswick stay

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.

A comfortable flat

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 won’t 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.

Very nice stay in Keswick

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.
