Great location

Nice little apartment less than 10 minutes walk through the lovely park to the centre of Keswick. My only quibbles were the towels were too small to cover ones modesty, and there really needs to be much darker, or preferably black out blinds/curtains in the bedroom with the door as it gets far too light far too early without them which was very detrimental to our sleep. That said the apartment was clean and well equipped, garden is a little sun trap with a BBQ. Only thing missing was a freezer - no ice for the G&T.

A short break to clear the Lockdown cobwebs

Had a short break with my son to get some foot miles in around Keswick - great location, parking is a big plus for Keswick and the property was exactly as described on the website. The town seems to be getting used to the new normal and all shops etc.. were welcoming and very careful.

A good situation in Keswick

The property has all you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen is well equipped and a nice place to relax. We enjoyed the short walk into Keswick through the park. It was good to have parking on site as parking can sometimes be a problem in Keswick. John was very responsive to a query we had and came immediately .

Great accommodation and location

Property as described although bathroom lacking a good shower and bath sealant in much need of replacement. Rest of property was great with comfy beds, sofa and well equipped kitchen. A coffee table would ease relaxing on the sofa with a cuppa. Great location, beautiful walk in to town via park/river or via main road at night when park not lit. The George Hotel great for gluten free food and wide range of non g/f menu and very reasonably priced. Lingholm garden a must and an Alpaca trek truly fabulous. A great few days helped by coming back to decent accommodation at the end of busy days.

Great location and great place.

The apartment is across the river from the heart of the city which makes access to the major roads easy. It’s an easy walk to downtown, great food, and grocery stores. The unit is on the back of the house which means it’s very quiet and has off street parking. The only negative for my family was the absence of a washer/dryer.

Beautifully presented apartment in an excellent location.

We loved the property; the decor and attention to detail inside is lovely and little thoughtful touches like fresh milk in the fridge, tea bags and a delicious packet of biscuits on arrival were very much appreciated! The location is superb, a short walk through the park along the river into town was great and such easy access to many of the mountain walks we wanted to tick off our list, some straight from the property so need need to get in the car. The only reasons we haven't given 5 stars is because we (personally) would have found a microwave useful and there is no freezer or ice box. We had such amazing weather it would have been great to be able to have ice for cold drinks and ice cream for after our BBQs! It also would have been nice to be able to move the table and chairs onto where the lawn is to enjoy the views, particularly of Lattrigg, but as there is no hard-standing there we didn't want to cause damage to the lawn so you have to sit at the back of the house, which is not quite so nice. That said, being outside was the main thing and really we would have rated 4.5 if there was facility for this! We didn't meet the owners but all correspondence with them was great and although there is access to the other part of the house past the garden we didn't feel overlooked or that our privacy was compromised. We had a wonderful stay and wouldn't hesitate to return if we decide to stay in Keswick again. Thanks again!
