Hi, Anna! We're pleased that you enjoyed your stay. We completely agree-- Skiddaw view is perfect for couples or singles, especially for a rainy date night, or unwinding after a day exploring the Lakes, with Netflix and SkyTV included on the Smart TV. The property is very well-located for adventures in Keswick and the surrounding villages, or to venture off into the rest of Cumbria via car, with private parking included.

Great for a couple

Small but perfect for 2. Close to all keswick's restaurants, pubs, shops and cinema. Also close to a main road, which can be noisy during the day. Easy drives for the central and northern fells, as well as cumbria's west coast. Designated parking spot, which is a real bonus in such a busy town. Kitchen well equipped. Bed very comfortable. Would definitely book skiddaw view again.

A relaxing New Year's break

My husband and I, together with our dogs stayed in Skiddaw View between Christmas and New Years. The apartment is located right in the middle of the town, with Fitz's Park right on the doorstep for our active dogs. The parking is directly behind the apartment and very secure. The apartment was warm, extremely well equipped and we enjoyed more evenings in than out- due to the comfort on offer. The Keswick Cottages team were so helpful before the trip, answering all and any questions we had. There is nothing we could fault about our stay in Skiddaw View- we loved every minute and we will certainly be back.

A very special weekend

Me, my partner and the dog had an amazing 3 night stay at Skiddaw View apartment. It was exactly as described with some thoughtful extras. It was my partners 40th birthday and they had left a card and prosecco for our arrival, as well as a doggy gift pack, to mention a few. Really appreciate the personal touches. The apartment was exceptionally clean, the kitchen was well equipped and sofa was comfortable. The view was fab and it was lovely to see what we’d climbed up from the window. Would definitely stay again and highly recommend!

Short three day stay

Excellent apartment in a fantastic location within the town. Immaculately clean and very comfortable with private parking. The only negative if being really picky, is to have the poles from the parking spot removed as it can be very tight.
Response from VrboOwner on 29 April 2024
Thank you so much for your 5-star review of Skiddaw View! We are so happy you found this to be an excellent apartment in a fantastic location. Situated in central Keswick, you just need to head around the corner to enjoy the all the town's amenities. We're so glad you found it very comfortable and immaculately clean too. The private parking is a great feature, the poles are there so the lock can be put on to avoid people from using it. We hope you had a wonderful time and we hope to welcome you back again!
