About this property

The Ridgeway - an apartment that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

The Ridgeway is a beautiful Victorian property, with many personal touches to create a 'home from home' feel and ideal for those wishing to be close to all local amenities but just out of the way of traffic and crowds.

The fully enclosed south facing patio has wonderful views to the fells for perfect al fresco dining. Private parking is allocated opposite for one car.

The large, bright lounge with high ceilings on the first floor has a fabulous bay window looking out over Keswick to Catbells and the fells beyond. There are two large sofas and an open fire for cosy winter nights, with dining table in the picture postcard bay window. There is a Smart TV, DVD and games console with blue-tooth DAB Radio / CD player and plenty of Lakeland guides.

The twin bedroom with new oak furniture (chest of drawers and wardrobe) and DAB radio is also on the first floor with lovely views towards Latrigg. This room can be converted to a King-size bed upon request.

The first floor bathroom is fully tiled and has a double ended bath, separate shower cubicle, towel rail and wash hand basin. There is a separate WC on this floor.

On the ground floor there is a bright double bedroom with a leather sofa positioned in the bay window overlooking the patio/garden. There is a double bed, with plenty of storage, a flat screen TV/DVD, dressing table and lovely high ceilings. Both bedrooms are dressed with luxury linens and fresh white fluffy towels.

The very modern kitchen is also on the ground floor with newly fitted units, granite worktops, built in electric oven and gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washer/dryer and breakfast bar, with well stocked cupboards with everything you would need on a self-catering holiday.

There is a sizeable utility room at the back of the apartment for walking gear and bikes, providing rear access to the street.

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.

Home from home

The Ridgeway is one of our favourite places to stay in Keswick. Tastefully furnished, well equipped and in a great location with stunning views. We had an issue with the heating and Julia, the owner, sorted it very quickly.

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.

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.

The Ridgeway review

This was the fifth time we have stayed at The Ridgeway. Lovely property in brilliant location. Excellent customer service all round and our two Border Terriers loved the doggie welcome packs!

The Ridgeway is a lovely property and the views of the fells from the living room are spectacular.

Meaghan K.

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.
Response from VrboOwner on 18 October 2025
Hi Meaghan, Thank you for your review. The Ridgeway is situated in the centre of Keswick so is the perfect base for exploring the area. The views from the property of the town and surrounding fells are stunning and can provide plenty of inspiration when planning the next days adventures. We hope you had a fantastic holiday and enjoyed your first time in the Lake District. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

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 living room with a view

The house is very comfortable and spacious. It is well-equipped and the dog welcome pack was a lovely touch. The view from the living room was stunning as we could see the hills as we were eating breakfast. It was really good to have 2 toilets, although the downstairs one was a bit chilly as it didn't have a radiator, but there was a fan heater. Otherwise we had a lovely break in a great location.

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 .

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.

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
