Easy to book a last minute getaway over the phone. Shortly after payment we received an email confirming the booking and providing full details of the property, key safe number, location etc.
The property is very spacious, well-equipped, comfortable and quiet. Parking space in Keswick a great bonus, and location is very central, just a couple of minutes walk away from the centre of town. We would certainly stay here again next time we visit the lake District, and would recommend the property to family and friends. Thank you.

Hi Philip, Thank you for your review. Alban Rise's central location make it a great base for exploring Keswick. The parking space in such a central location is a real bonus and with the bus stop just over the road from the property you can travel further afield without the hassle of taking the car. We hope you had a fantastic holiday and we will hopefully welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottage

Excellent location, spacious and clean!

We found the property to be very clean and well equipped for our needs. Allocated parking and proximity to supermarket and buses was very convenient. Mention should be made about the access to the property as the top two steps are quite high and care should be taken especially by those in our age group - over 70.
Throughly enjoyed our stay.

An excellent property. The location was perfect being just off of the main shopping area and provided easy access to places of interest outside of the town. The kitchen was well equipped and the lounge was spacious and comfortable. My only negative was the mattress which I found uncomfortable, otherwise the letting deserved a 5 star in every area.

Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy you found this an excellent place to stay at and that the kitchen was well equipped with a spacious comfortable lounge. The location in central Keswick means you just have to step outside to enjoy the shops. We hope you had a wonderful time and we hope to welcome you back. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

While other reviewers have commented on the entrance in the rear courtyard, having previously rented another flat in this row we knew what to expect and were not put off. The flat itself is comfortable and the locaton could not be better for the views out of the windows and the convenience for shops, restaurants etc after a long day walking. Although after a sunny day it was uncomfortably hot in the front bedrooms.

Thank you so much for your review of Alban Rise! We are so happy you found the flat comfortable and enjoyed where it is situated, being in the centre of Keswick and just across the road from Booths Supermarket, it is still quiet and offers amazing views of the surrounding fells. We hope you had a wonderful time and we hope to welcome you back in the future. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

This is the 2nd tie we have stayed, and we’re very happy with the experience. The location is great. The steps up to the apartment would mean I wouldn’t recommend it to someone with mobility issues.

Stay for 1 week and had no complaints. Very clean, tidy and fitted accommodation. Kitchen has everything you need with plenty of space to relax. Comfortable sleeping with handy black out blinds. Parking directly outside of the property and located within 2 minute walk of the high street. Would recommend

Thank you so much for your review about Alban Rise. We are so happy your one week stay was great. We will let our cleaning team know about 5/5 star for cleanliness. The kitchen has some great features to it like the De Longhi coffee machine (that uses ground coffee). The black out blinds are especially handy for those sunny mornings. We hope to welcome you again.

We stayed for 1 week in Alban Rise.
There is 1 allocated parking space and the entrance to the property is up a set of external stairs.
The property is above shops and is very close to the centre square of Keswick and the bus station. We were very happy with the facilities in the property and the rooms were large.
The accommodations was clean and the beds were comfortable.
Thank you for a lovely stay.

The interior of the property was very spacious and well equipped, and the location was good being minutes from the shops, bars and restaurants in Keswick, as well as being within walking distance of the lake. Other reviews have mentioned this - there are 15 quite steep exterior metal steps up to the property which is on the first floor, which should perhaps be made clearer in the description. Also, the entrance steps are in essentially in an alleyway which was full of rubbish from the restaurants on the ground floor - apparently the week we stayed there was a problem with the bin collections, but despite this, there was rubbish all over the alleyway which remained throughout the week - it didn't give a very good first impression of the property and wasn't great to come home to every evening. Once inside, however, we had no issues.

Very spacious apartment. Clean and well appointed on arrival. In the very centre of Keswick. Some street noise early in the evening but this did not affect our sleep Rain on the skylights in the bedrooms is very loud but again this did not hugely affect us as it was mostly dry during our stay.

One thing to watch out for is there are steep, metal steps leading up to the apartment which isn’t mentioned in the write up and could be an issue for anyone with mobility issues.

All in all a very enjoyable stay. Would recommend to anyone looking for a spacious, central location in Keswick.

Alban Rise is a fitted out with most of the mod cons that anyone could desire from a holiday home rental. Great WiFi. It's shower is powerful. The kitchen has all the features that most people would want. The lounge is very spacious. It is so spacious, that ideally you'd have an even bigger TV, but the TV is at least on a par with what you'd find in other holiday rentals.
The only downside to Alban Rise, is the kerb appeal, with it's outside rather unattractive, and only one parking space available - but this is offset by the quality of the apartment once you are inside.

We loved our stay in Alban Rise. The very spacious and comfortable flat was perfect for the five of us. We all loved the range of books, DVDs, games and toys thoughtfully provided, in particular the table tennis set which was well used set on the dining table. My grandson also loved being able to connect his games console to the Smart TV. The flat was very warm and cosy and we all slept very well in the very comfortable beds. The flat’s location was perfect, right opposite Booths and ideal for shopping or visiting nearby pubs, cafes and restaurants, the climbing wall and the excellent Puzzling Place.
As previous visitors have mentioned you do need to take care on the outside steps as they are uneven heights.
We would all happily stay in Alban Rise again.

This place is a cracker. Central, beautifully furnished, well stocked. Fabulous sofa with lots of living space. Very clean and a fantastic De Longhi coffee machine (uses ground coffee). Warm and welcoming. The only downside is not the apartment but the outside steps in the dark so leave the porch light on if you are going out at night.

Alban Rise is the best of many places is Keswick we have rented over the last decade and more. Comfortable, clean, very spacious, centrally located and with a generously sized dedicated parking bay. Worth noting that it is a 1st floor flat and the stairs from the car park contain one steep step that would not be suitable for anyone with mobility issues

Spacious 3 bedroom property in perfect town centre location ….we never moved the car after our arrival.
We were a party of two couples who walked in the day and enjoyed Keswick's pubs and restaurants in the evening….the property suited us perfectly.

Would definitely recommend and return.
