Fantastic property in a great location!!

Booked this property along with the upstairs property for a party of 10 ladies! Was very impressed with the close proximity to the town centre, ideal for a short stroll into town and to the lake! The property had everything required, with attention to detail for even the small things like tin opener, grater etc! Everything was immaculate and very cosy! We particularly loved the outdoor patio area with a perfect sun spot late into the evening! We would 100% recommend this property!

Fantastic Stay

Keswick Cottages were really good to deal with, responsive and helpful. From the minute we opened the door to The Ridgeway it felt so welcoming, it was warm and smelt so clean and fresh! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, as was the bed! There was everything you could possibly need in the kitchen and the doggy welcome pack was much appreciated by Wilf! Location was absolutely superb, we will definitely be booking to stay again!

A perfect stay

After many years of visiting and staying in various guest houses, houses and apartments, we have found our perfect stay, A great property in a quiet location just off the town centre. This 2 floor apartment is very spacious and well-equipped. All the rooms are large and comfortable. We loved the view of Catbells and other mountains from the living room bay window. We can't recommend this property highly enough.

Comfortable accommodation

The Accommodation we booked through Keswick Cottages, is a lovely place to rest and recuperate after a days walking. The beds are very comfortable and afforded a great nights sleep. The apartment is centrally located in Keswick and good for all the amenities the town has to offer. We enjoy staying here having stayed here on two previous occasions.

A very Pleasant Stay

This apartment is very well equipped and comfortable. The only thing is, you can hear the noise from the neighbour upstairs. It is an old floorboard; you can hear every step they take. It was an original whole house converted (we think) into 2 separate apartments.

Lovely place

Great place. Comfy, spacious, great location, clean and everything you need for a stay away. Only negative was that the property above it had very noisy floorboards, so we were woken up at 6am most mornings.

Excellent location

Great location, easy walk into town & nearby park. Great views from the lounge. We found the side access straight into the utility room particularly useful for bringing a very muddy dog indoors. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay thank you.

Perfect Location for Lake District exploring

Traveled to the Lake District for the first time from the US so did not know much abut the area before but luckily found this accommodation in the perfect location. The layout with one bedroom on the ground floor was bit unusual but it did allow for privacy and quiet between the 2 bedrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed and the 2 bathrooms were clean with plenty of hot water to warm up after a chilly day. The house did take a while to heat up so take that in mind.

Great spot

The Ridgeway is in a great location, lots of walks from the door and perfect for town. The accommodation was very well equipped on particular the kitchen. There is everything you need for preparing and cooking meals. We found the beds to be extremely comfortable, the best we have come across in a long time. It was also nice to have a bathroom on each floor. It was lovely to have somewhere to sit out, as the weather was so nice.

A great base

Three of us plus a dog stayed there . The Ridgeway was very clean & comfortable. The kitchen was really well equipped. It is an excellent base for staying in the Lakes & has its own dedicated car space which is a bonus in Keswick . Wonderful views over to the hills from the dining room . Would definitely stay there again easy access to the town & shops . We were also lucky to have brilliant weather .

The perfect base for family or friends

Great quiet location just off the Main Street. Couldn’t ask for anything else for a base while visiting the town. Kitchen was extremely well stock with equipment and there’s plenty room. Ideal for a family or even two couples as two separate bathrooms. Would highly recommend and will certainly book again
