About this property

Keswick Apartment, Former Railway House, Beautiful Views, Private Parking

Easy access to launches on Derwentwater and buses into Borrowdale and surrounding valleys. Fifteen minute walk to Keswick town centre. Five minute walk to well-stocked mini supermarket at the BP station.

This is a warm, comfortable two bedroom apartment in the top half of a former railway house, situated on the outskirts of Keswick. The house is built in traditional local stone with the top half rendered and painted white. The apartment has a spacious lounge, plus a good sized double bedroom and bathroom. The double bed is 5 foot wide. A small bedroom has two bunk beds. These are custom built and 175 cms long so anyone over 6 foot would not be able to stretch out. The dining kitchen seats up to four, and is equipped to a very high standard.. There is off road private parking for two cars. The apartment has panoramic views of the Grassmoor Group of hills, from the lounge and both bedrooms. This is an ideal location for walking, and exploring the Lake District with easy access to all the amenities of Keswick town.

A Short Stay in Keswick

A short walking trip to Keswick, the Apartment offered us with ease of location into Keswick and the surrounding area, therefore time for the walks. Whilst the facilities included within the Apartment were not found wanting, additional entry and exit were hassle free. All help

Well located apartment for small family

Spacious first floor apartment located on the lovely Keswick railway cycle route, and main road into Keswick. Kitchen well equipped but flat fairly basic overall - fine if you’re planning to be outdoors for your stay. Good shower. Flat smelt and felt damp, needed windows open a lot but that meant road noise. Bathroom extractor fan needs fixing to help stop water pooling on the floor in bathroom from the tiles. Great location for walking and for Keswick, enjoyed our holiday.

Keswick apartment

Nicer inside than outside. Property looks unloved. Inside clean, comfortable and warm but some mould and rust in the bathroom. You need to bring bed linen and towels and a bath mat. I think the negatives are reflected in the price however.

Lovely Accommodation

We had a lovely stay in Keswick and the location of the accommodation was perfect for what we wanted to do. We were able to walk into Keswick via the railway path. The accommodation had all we needed for our stay and was clean and tidy. It was easy to find and the instructions provided were acurate.

Nice for a short stay. Not suitable for two adults who aren't sharing a double bed, very small second room with short beds. Not easy to find and the picture on the listing is from the middle of a field, so very pretty but not at all helpful in locating the property. My main issue was the VRBO website which didn't work properly on any attempt from a mobile phone, including today.

It was a lovely property in a great location a short walk from the main town. The house is close to the main road so if noise bothers you this might not be the place for you but it didn't keep us awake.

The property is ideally located to explore the Lake District and is within easy reach of the majority of the main tourist attractions. We explored gardens in the area and found the flat a warm comfortable place to return to on rainy days. .

About the host

Hosted by Catherine Edgar

Host profile image
4 Ridgemount is owned by Catherine and John Edgar who lived in Cumbria for over 30 years, although we have now moved to Worcestershire. We are ardent walkers and love the theatre.

Why they chose this property

Keswick is an ideal base for our family holidays as it allows us such easy walking access to the the lakes and is also an outlet for the cultural aspects of Keswick such as the famous theatre, book and jazz festivals etc. There are plenty of activities for families with young or older children in the town and in the area. Keswick also has a good choice of pubs and restaurants

The apartment is very cosy with stunning views, this is why we fell for it.

What makes this property unique

The benefit above other properties is that it is near but not in the town centre and is therefore quiet with good views yet close to amenities. We have 2 designated off road private parking spaces at the back of the property. We are on a bus route and also right next to the old railway track which is now a cycling and walking route.

We do not increase our prices over the summer or at holiday times.
