About this property

Keswick, Garden Apartment for 2. Excellent location.Convenient for all amenities

This delightful one bedroom studio apartment, consisting of the ground floor of a stone-built terraced cottage, is in a most convenient location, close to the River Greta and Fitz Park, and within easy walking distance of all Keswick's amenities, Derwentwater, the Theatre by the Lake and the Leisure Pool.
It is an ideal base from which to explore this superb part of the Lake District, whether on foot, bicycle or by car. There is a wonderful variety of walks available right from the door and good local bus services so that a car is not necessary. There is free car parking with no restrictions in the street and it is almost always possible to find a parking place just outside, or at least very close by.
Comfortably furnished, it is surprisingly spacious and the living/dining room has a French door to the patio which adds to the light and airy feel of the property. The sofa in the lounge area opens to make a single bed for occasional use for which bed linen can be requested.
It has a well-equipped kitchen with a washing machine and drying rack. Access is through the large, lawned, shared garden. There is a collection of books, maps and guides and the cottage is maintained by the owner who will be pleased to offer advice on walks, attractions and transport in the area.
Keswick is a mecca for walkers and cyclists and has many galleries, craft and outdoor shops and an excellent choice of cafés, restaurants and lively pubs.
Garden Apartment is only a few minutes level walking distance to the shops, pubs, restaurants and attractions of Keswick. Just over the road and the footbridge across the River Greta lies Fitz Park, with its riverside meadows, woodland and gardens, tennis courts, bowling greens and superlative children’s play area. The magnificently refurbished Victorian museum has a cafe that looks over the park. A few metres away is the tropical leisure pool with its slide and wave machine. And ten minutes walk brings you to the Theatre By The Lake which has a most varied and interesting programme of plays, music and events to suit all tastes throughout the year.
Keswick is a wonderful centre for walkers, climbers, cyclists, water sports enthusiasts and lovers of the landscape. As well as catering for all these interests close by, being the transport hub of the North Lakes the attractions of the rest of the Lake District are easily reached. If you want to leave the car behind the local bus services or the Derwentwater launches are great for taking you to the start of a walk or bringing you back when you've gone as far as you want.
The English Lake District is the most beautiful part of the country with a landscape that has attracted artists, poets, tourists and outdoor enthusiasts from all over the world. It was designated A UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2017. The lakes that give the District its name are unique and each one offers something a little different to its visitors. Derwentwater, the “Jewel of the Lake District”, is particularly scenic, with many shoreline and woodland walks on land cared for by the National Trust. It has some of the best boating and water sport opportunities, with a number of marinas and boat hire companies serving visitors. Around the lake several of the fells rise to more than 3000 feet and to the south, Borrowdale gives access to some of the finest hill walks in the country. Keswick lies at the north end of the lake. An attractive little town with the distinctive Moot Hall standing proud over its market place, as well as being a shopping, tourist and accommodation centre, it is a focus for adventure sports and outdoor activities. The nearby Whinlatter Forest has a renowned visitor centre with a shop, cafe, and cycle centre with mountain biking trails, walking trails, and adventure activities and Go-Ape trail in the forest. It's visitor centre also has a CCTV live osprey viewing screen.

Central, cosy and welcoming
Ideal for a single, couple or additional child as it is a double and a sofa bed. The only problem is parking if you come by car. I didn't, so it was ideal and a short walk to the shops , restaurants and the park. Keswick is a lovely place and just a short distance from the beautiful lake. I also went to a performance at the Theatre, which was excellent. The hosts are lovely and fix any problems immediately.

Lovely quiet location
We enjoyed our stay in this sweet downstairs apartment. It was away from hubbub of town and so close to nearby park and river and also to easily accessed trails. The apartment had all the things we needed for meal prep and a fine collection of maps for trails, local history and geological information. We would stay here again. Steve snd Irena were gracious hosts.

Wonderful Home away from Home
This home was just perfect for the two of us. The location is great. We walked everywhere - the grocery store, shops in town, the lake marina. The Lake district is a joy to visit. We had one minor problem, the toaster didn't work but our host replaced it immediately. The bed is quite comfortable. The kitchen is large and easy to work in. I highly recommend this home.

Quaint convenience
Perfect space for 2, great location/walking distance. The owners went above and beyond to accommodate a few special requests we had. My mom spent her 70th birthday here for a short get-away and said it was her best birthday ever.
