Easter at Appletree

Lovely house and great location

Had a lovely week at appletree, the house is beautiful, clean and spacious. The house is well equipped with everything you require (except an ash bucket to empty the ashes from the fire). Location is ideal with walks from the door step and a walk into keswick was only 20 mins. Excellent cafe in the village for refreshments after a long walk. Would highly recommend

Perfect stay

Family of four adults staying for five nights. We loved this spacious home from home accommodation in a perfect location, within walking distance into Keswick. Brilliant views over surrounding hills. Hot showers and plenty of storage space in the garage for bikes etc. We were blessed with fantastic weather too. Would highly recommend and would stay again.

Great house and good location for walking into Keswick.

The house was very comfortable and had everything you would require beds were comfortable and showers were great. It was a short distance to Keswick if you like to walk. The pub over the road was a bonus a 5 minute walk. Parking at the property was also great as you didn’t need to take the car anywhere as long as you are fit enough to walk. We have in fact booked again for next year.

Lovely property, perfectly situated for walks and Keswick centre. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need if you want to cook, but if not the pub is literally at the end of the road. Would definitely book this property again.

Very comfortable and well located property

We had a very comfortable stay at Appletree. The property is well located with easy access to Keswick and Derwent Water. Appletree is very well equipped with plenty of crockery, glasses etc. The afternoon and evening sun hit the table and chairs in the garden making it very relaxing for an evening drink! Lovely holiday home!

Review of Appletree in Portinscale June 2025

The property is of a real high standard and the Portinscale location is a perfect being quiet but Keswick is walkable. The property does not leave you wanting as it provides everything one would need for a holiday. Highly recommended.

Our third stay in Appletree

Our third stay in this lovely quiet property. With three bathrooms, an enclosed garden, and secure storage for bikes and outdoor equipment Appletree has everything we need for 5 active adults and a couple of dogs. The addition of an airfryer to the kitchen equipment was a real bonus this year.

A great place

A very comfortable base for our 3 couples holiday. We each had a shower / toilet so no waiting around. The kitchen was efficient with more than ample crockery and cutlery. The enclosed garden was great for the dogs. A great base for our walking adventures, many from the doorstep.

Five stars in all respects

We could not have found a better place for our family reunion - three couples and a small dog. It is a lovely property with a great layout and three bathrooms. There is a wrap around garden which catches the sun at different times of the day for a sit /eat out (weather permitting). Over and above the description!

our stay at Appletree

We have been coming to Keswick for about 15 years and have stayed at many different properties. Last year we decided to try Appletree as it was going to be quieter than the centre of Keswick. The location is great for going on walks near the lake. The property is well maintained and very comfortable and feels at home as soon as we arrive. This is our second visit to the property and have already booked for next year.

Xmas at the lakes

We were a family of 6 adults (3 couples) with dogs spending Xmas day in the Lakes. Firstly the drive was huge so no problem with parking and the check in instructions were clear and simple. Three bedrooms was a godsend for us! The house has everything we could have needed for our stay, including a really well stocked kitchen for us to prepare Xmas dinner Also the pub around the corner was nice after a long walk. Took us around half hour to walk in to Keswick. The biscuits and prosecco were a lovely touch but the dog gift boxed were the very best!! We loved our stay, thank you

Great stay again Appletree

Another great stay at Appletree. Lovely accommodation in a superb setting. Easy access to the surrounding hills and into Keswick. Keswick Cottages responded to an out of hours issue with the central heating boiler within 30 minutes. Can't get better service than that. Thank you and we will be back again.
