Accommodation was ideal for the purpose, not least the three shower rooms. Service from Keswick Cottages was excellent. Highly recommended.

We have been coming to Keswick for about 15 years and have stayed at many different properties. Last year we decided to try Appletree as it was going to be quieter than the centre of Keswick.
The location is great for going on walks near the lake. The property is well maintained and very comfortable and feels at home as soon as we arrive.
This is our second visit to the property and have already booked for next year.

Appletree has everything you could ask for and more. Decorated to a high standard.
We have stayed in this property before, a number of years ago, so knew how lovely it was. Ideal base for us as we love Keswick and the 1 mile walk in is great, although not puddle free this year being able to leave car at house. Great addition for us was the dart board in the garage as entertained our boys (17 & 23)! Who still like to holiday with us occasionally.

This was our second visit to Appletree which a very comfortable house in Higher Portinscale. The house was very clean and comfortable. Although you can walk into Keswick from here this time we decided to take the car and parked at the Pencil Factory-were parking was slightly cheaper.
The house's location was extremely quiet which made for a relaxing holiday, the weather was also very good, a plus in the lakes at anytime.
There are two places to eat locally the Farmers Arms and The Chalet-which we found good value for money.
All of us had a very relaxing time.

Thank you for the fabulous review! It's great to see that you have returned for a second visit and have had another wonderful stay. Appletree is in a really lovely quiet location, we're glad that you were able to make the most of this to get some R & R on your holiday. That's a great tip about the parking, it is slightly cheaper than the central long stay car parks! Hopefully we will see you for another visit to Keswick in the future, we'd love to host you again. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Excellent location, easily accessible to Keswick by foot or bus, but quiet. Space for 3 small cars on the drive was useful. It was very well presented and equipped, and had comfortable beds, (an important thing for our family!), only negative was the cost, as it felt a little expensive in comparison to similar sized properties in Northern Lakes, but understand it is the height of the season.

Our third stay in this lovely quiet property. With three bathrooms, an enclosed garden, and secure storage for bikes and outdoor equipment Appletree has everything we need for 5 active adults and a couple of dogs.
The addition of an airfryer to the kitchen equipment was a real bonus this year.

This was our third visit for a family of seven. we have always found that Appletree offers the utmost comfort and excellent facilities (the two children love the garden space!). We find Portinscale is sufficiently off the beaten track that peace and quiet is there if required and walks are readily accessible. Our only observation was that the en-suite shower was not functioning properly (thermostat?) however, George, the handyman, who had come to cut the grass, was making adjustments. A most enjoyable week.

We've been coming to Appletree Cottage for many years as it suits our needs perfectly.
For a start it's in a fantastic location for access to Keswick and the surrounding countryside. There are soo many walks straight out of the door that you could manage for a week without a car!
It's always clean and tidy and well presented. The views overlooking Skiddaw from the front window and Cat Bells/Barrow Hill from the rear are stunning. Easy off road parking for 3 cars and a small enclosed garden for the dog make it ideal for us.
Looking forward to coming back next year.

Thank you so much for your review of Appletree! We love that you're returning guests and have been coming for many years. Situated in Portinscale, you are in a quiet location and only a 5 minute drive or 20 minute walk to Keswick. We are so happy that upon arrival you found it tidy, clean and well presented. It offers amazing views of the surrounding fells. The on-site parking is a great feature and the secure garden is perfect for you to enjoy on a sunny day and for your dog to explore. We hope you had another perfect stay here and we can't wait to welcome you back next year! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Our second time at Appletree. It has had an update since we were last there, lovely new kitchen. It's warm, cosy ,well furnished, comfy beds & hot showers.
Well placed for a short walk into Keswick.
The Farmers Arms just a short stroll is a lovely family pub.There is also The Derwent Hotel & pub a short stroll away.
Our only negative is the oven & hob are quite complicated even with the instructions ,we did manage eventually to cook a full Christmas dinner. Will definitely be back.

This was the first time we stayed in this accommodation. We have for the last 10 years stayed in a complex in Keswick centre but have found it to be getting very noisy.
This was a great property to stay in, very comfortable and lovely and quiet. Dogs are allowed and there is a perfect small garden to let them out.
The only very slight problem was not enough bowls and measuring jugs for cooking as we eat in every night and our stay was for 10 days.
Apart from the above, it is a great place to stay and have booked again for next year.

The house was beautiful and clean. Any queries were dealt with promptly. The welcome pack was really thoughtful. The location is remote and the house is on an estate. Also it needs to be stated that there is a steep slope upto the property.



Keswick Cottages replied more than 1 year ago
Hi Val, thank you for kind review of Appletree. We think the welcome pack is useful to receive upon arrival after a day of travelling, so the kettle can be put on and guests can enjoy a drink with some biscuits. Located in Portinscale, it is an easy stroll into Keswick and offers walks around the village itself. We hope to welcome you again.

This is our second stay in Appletree , it is a well equipped and spacious house in the lovely quiet location of Portinscale but within an easy fifteen minute walk of Keswick ,we particularly liked having two shower rooms and a bathroom with seven of us sharing ,also the dog washing fascility in the garage which we made use of .We did feel this year that the house would benefit from some redecoration but overall would definitely recommend this property .

I would be very happy to recommend Appletree. Conveniently located on a quiet estate it was well equipped with everything you would need. The secure wrap around garden was a perfect space for both our dog & toddler to explore safely. A maintenance issue we had with a leak was responded to promptly with good on-going communication from Keswick Cottages. There are so many walks straight from the house, we pretty much parked up and didn’t use the cars for the full week (& we managed to comfortably park 4 cars out front). Great views, comfortable beds - we will be back.

Our 2nd visit to this property and I’m sure it won’t be our last. The house has everything you could wish for. Very secure garden for our dogs. A perfect spot for easy walking access into Keswick. The cottage has off road parking for 3 cars. I would certainly recommend for couples or large families.

This was our third visit to Appletree. Each year we notice improvements to the property e.g the spacious frontage has been improved to allow ease of parking, the gardens front and back are always well maintained. The house is very comfortable with all amenities. The location is so peaceful after the hurly burly of Keswick. The walk into Keswick is no hardship, there is a pub (The Farmer's Arms) and also an adequate cafe (The Chalet) close by. Our son in law is always delighted that he can easily access the fells without having to use the car.

Appletree is lovely holiday cottage in the perfect location. Just a short walk away from the centre of Keswick, with lots of walks available from the door.

There is a pub and cafe just down the road for breakfast, lunch and tea, both which we would recommend!

The enclosed garden was perfect for our dog, there was no worry of him escaping! The dog bath in the garage is perfect following those muddy walks!

3 spacious rooms with a bathroom each! Perfect for 3 couples

Will definitely be returning!

We've stayed at Appletree for three holidays (for a total of five weeks) and we've booked to stay again in September for a further fortnight, so I think it's fair to say that we really rate the place! It's spacious, very comfortable, well fitted out, and lovely and warm...we had snow during our visit!

It's very conveniantly placed just a couple of miles from the centre of Keswick, and even without a car you could find plenty of places to visit on foot.

We just got back a couple of days ago from a week at Appletree. the "4" score for Condition was because it's probaly due for a little tidying/refreshing. And the "4" score for VFM reflects a fair price but it's not inexpensive.

As owners of a largish labrador we really appreciate having access to the garage. The owners have provided a very large dog bath so we can clean the dog off, and it's a great space to dry wet clothing.

We're very happy to recommend Appletree.

The house was absolutely perfect for our stay. We were two couples but the house would have comfortably accommodated another couple too. There was room for three cars on the drive.
Everything was spotlessly clean and whatever we needed we found easily.
The beds and bedding were sooo comfy.
George was on hand should we have had any issues.
If we were staying in the Keswick area again we would definitely stay here.

Nice property, 3 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms plenty of off street parking and a secure garden. Ideal for our needs as 2 couples plus one singleton and a dog travelling from different parts of the UK.

We have visited Portinscale on a number of occasions and have found Appletree to be the best house we have stayed in ,it is a very spacious ,comfortable and well equipped house in a quite location but just a short walk into Keswick along a footpath .On arrival the house smelled lovely and was very clean . With seven of us in our party we found the garage /utility very useful .It has an enclosed wrap around garden which was ideal for my sons dog ,we could let her out knowing she couldn’t escape.We all agreed the beds were very comfortable .We used the outside seating area quite a lot as we had some lovely weather while we were there,my only criticism would be to provide a parasol as it can become too hot to sit there without any shade .I would recommend The Farmers Arms pub which is two minutes from the property serving nice food and as outside space with lovely views , also Nicole End marina where our granddaughters loved the kayaking .We all loved Appletree and would definitely stay again .

Spent a lovely week at Appletree to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. Excellent accommodation with lots of well thought out extras. Comfortable throughout apart from the beds which were like sleeping on concrete. Please note that this property is situated on a very quiet housing estate and not all the neighbours appear welcoming of visitors. Very little going on in Portinscale, no shop and the only pub never seemed open. Keswick is within easy reach and has plenty of amenities though. The Chalet in Portinscale is worth a visit for lovely food and drinks. Superb views front and back from the property. Really enjoyed our stay

As always Appletree never fails to deliver everything you need from a holiday home.
Will be back again to enjoy the house, nearby cafe and pub. Also so many great walks from the house.
Recent improvements to the house and parking have benefitted what is on offer.
Five star accommodation.

We had a most wonderful holiday at Appletree .
The house was very clean and smelt lovely and fresh
Appletree is very well equipped throughout, the beds are very comfortable and showers very good.
I particularly liked that there was a large fridge freezer and also an additional fridge as well plus the excellent laundry facilities in the garage.
The house is situated in a quiet and peaceful area of Portinscale and very conveniently situated for walks from the door and a short distance from the footpath into Keswick.
We would most definitely book Appletree again.
Thankyou to the owners and Keswick Cottages for such a marvellous holiday !

We had a lovely stay in November. The house was very well equipped and extremely comfortable. The only thing that I would say didn’t match the description advertised was that downstairs bedroom did not have an en-suite bathroom, you actually had to go across the hallway to get to it. Other than than it was exactly as described. The pub just down the road was good and very friendly and there were numerous walks from the door step. Keswick was a very short and enjoyable walk away.

We were so happy the minute we walked in to Appletree. We booked it for my 50th birthday celebrations at Christmas with family. It had everything we needed and more to keep us all occupied. Great location and we were sorry to leave.
