Mountain View is a fabulous penthouse apartment in the centre of Keswick commanding views of Skiddaw to one side and Borrowdale to the other.

Great location, comfortable and well finished apartment with nice views

A very enjoyable stay with a friend. We found the apartment well located to go into town or to Derwent Water, with nice views (when standing). It had recently been refurbished and there was everything we needed. All equipment was of a high quality and easy to operate. Occasionally we had to boost the heating but it was easy to do so and warmer quickly. The beds were comfortable and it was good to have USB A sockets near the beds, very thoughtful. The only downside was some noise from the road and bin area early on as it does tend to echo. We had one issue where there was a heating error which was quickly and easily resolved within the hour. Thanks for a lovely stay.

Thank you for your terrific 5* review! We are delighted that you enjoyed your time at Mountain View, it's great to hear that it was nice and comfortable and that you had everything you needed for your stay. We were happy to help with the heating! We're lucky that we are based in Central Keswick so can easily pop out when needed. We're sorry about the disruption in the morning and hope that the super convenient location in the centre of town made up for this. We'd love to host you again for a future stay, have a lovely Christmas and New Year in the meantime. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Another great stay

This apartment fulfils all our expectations and needs, in terms of locality, facilities and cleanliness and has done for very many years. It is within walking distance of shops, bars and restaurants, public transport and the shore of Derwentwater. There are wonderful views of the mountains from the apartment but be prepared to climb 3 flights of stairs. The owners have recently updated the kitchen, bathroom and living room to a very high standard. Any issues are always promptly and efficiently dealt with by Keswick Cottages staff.

This is the second time we have stayed in this apartment and won’t be the last. The apartment is home from home, very comfortably sleeps four. The two double bedrooms are very spacious and beds are so comfortable. Only issue is their is a lot of stairs up to the apartment certainly not suitable for the infirm.
Customer service from Keswick cottages was outstanding, after I left my bag after checking out nothing was a problem to get it returned.

Just spent four nights at Mountain View, this is the second time we've stayed and no doubt we will be back. The accommodation is lovely and clean and very comfortable. It has everything you need and more. There are views from all of the windows and it is in a good position for pubs,restaurants and shops and also just a short walk to Derwentwater. Good value for money and would definitely recommend.

Perfectly situated for our needs & for a short stay in the Lake District. Magnificent views across Keswick to Skiddaw. Very comfortable and well equipped. If you don’t want to use your car, there is a bus station nearby with links to many areas. The only thing to be aware of is the fact that there are 3 flights of stairs to reach the apartment.

Very comfortable apartment in central Keswick. The best bit is the location 5 min walk to everything Keswick has to offer. The bed was supremely comfortable, we didn’t really use the Kitchen but there was everything you would need. Super views from the windows too. The only downside is there are 52 steps up 3 or 4 flights of stairs so if you have issues with stairs this one is not for you, but we treat it as extra exercise and the location is so good stairs don’t really worry us once we have our bags installed.
There are two restaurants on the ground floor but the noise and cooking smell is not apparent. Having a dedicated parking space is a real bonus. We have stayed in Keswick many times this is the best accommodation we have had so far.

Excellent location and very large.
Apartment was clean and bedrooms smelled freshly cleaned (happy face)
Some dirty cutlery in the drawer but that’ll be the dishwashers fault in not cleaning thoroughly.
Beds and sofa very comfy.
Not all windows worked and some latches not very secure. Could be quite noisy from the street and the road.
Bins were full when we arrived (Monday) and were full when we left (Friday) - luckily we didn’t have much rubbish but would have been an issue if we did have more waste. Not sure when they get emptied.
Customer service was great and responded very quickly to any emails I had.
Pricey for my liking but I suppose it’s on par with the Lakes.
As others have mentioned, couple of flights of stairs but didn’t put us off.
Would book again.

It was a lovely place to stay, central but not too noisy. The flat had everything we needed. I would really have liked some darker curtains in the bedroom. The light came straight through the blinds and woke me early most mornings, which was a shame because the bed was comfortable!



Amazing stay. Can’t wait to go back!

The apartment was amazing. Views were gorgeous and the rooms were also spotless. I had to contact keswick cottages a few times for different things and each time they replied almost instantly, resolving my issue. We have already booked to return to one of their properties as they made the stay so much better. Really would recommend this apartment, there are a few flights of stairs which is stated in the description but I really wouldn’t let this put you off. Highly recommend

Central location between lake and town centre.
Easy to find.
Parking space.
Well-equipped kitchen.
Clean, well-maintained and recently re-decorated.
Relatively reasonable price reflects the third-floor location and the single bathroom/WC.

Mountain View is a fantastic place to stay in Keswick. The apartment is very spacious and with it having a designated parking bay, it makes life easier on arrival and departure. I look forward to staying here again even with the 3 flights of stairs. It’s worth climbing them for the views once your inside.

Bedding and beds excellent good quality and comfortable

Kitchen equipment varied basics fine but large frying pan needs replacing, no egg cups, only one metal bowl for mixing or keeping things in. Glasses fine and good selection. Crockery everything you need but cheap and very heavy particularly the plates !

Position great for the town however the hotel at the base of the apartments is now a busy pizzeria/bar so has early catering and alcohol deliveries daily which can be noisy, also if you move your car you often find another car in your space despite it being marked for flat 4

So overall fine and comfortable with great views but could do with a few tweaks



Fabulous

The apartment was perfect, once you’d climbed the 3 flights of stairs!
Beds very comfortable, well equipped kitchen & views lovely when the rain paused!! The car space a real asset!

Only suggestion was that the access instructions could be clearer eg ‘sheds’ weren’t obvious in the dark, which lockbox as there were 3 all unlabelled at the door

We would definitely recommend & hope to use again in the future



Sophie - Keswick Cottages replied more than 1 year ago
Hello Nicola, Thank you for taking the time to review Mountain View, we are so glad that you had a lovely time in Mountain View and once the rain had cleared, the views were worth climbing the stairs for! We have now ensured to label the key safe at the property so that upon arrival it is easier to access, we know there is a few different key safes here so it can become confusing. Especially if you are arriving later. We hope that it will not be too long before your next stay.

Highly satisfied

Hello Sue, Thank you for your review, we are sorry if there were a couple of initial issues. However, we are glad that these were quickly resolved so they did not impact your holiday. There are certainly a number of stairs to get to the property and internally within the cottage to get to the living and bedroom areas, I'm sure the view from this elevated position was worth while though. We hope it is not too long until your next stay.

This was a last minute weekend booking, three adults, and we were so lucky this place was available, what a great find!
We drove to Keswick and so the allocated off-road parking space was a real bonus, but then everything is a few minutes walk away, the shops, restaurants, bars, attractions, bus station and the lake.
There are amazing views and the kitchen is well-equipped. There's a washing machine in a storage room which was also a handy place to put footwear. Great shower and warm bathroom, everything spotlessly clean.
There are a couple of short flights of steps up to the apartment but there's a landing with a sofa part way up, then there's one flight of stairs within the appartment which then provides a handy landing area for coats, bags and shoes.
The apartment was perfect for us and it felt really private up on the top floor and it was very quiet.
Without doubt would stay here again.

Hello Claire, Thank you for your review. It is great to hear that you enjoyed your last minute break at Mountain View, although the property is so handy for Keswick it is always nice to be able to enjoy the freedom and privacy of self catering.

We had a wonderful weeks stay at Mountain View apentment. A central location close to gardens, lake, shops and bars. Apartment was well appointed and furnishings of excellent standard. Top floor, 4 flights, may not suit everyone but did not impact on our enjoyment.( we were here for a walking holiday !). Would, without a doubt, return. 10/10

Mountain View has an excellent town centre location and is very well equipped. It is probably the cleanest self catering accommodation we have ever stayed in, and the beds were extremely comfortable.
Some evenings there was a little noise from the town, music playing etc but it didn't disturb our children. Having the storage room downstairs was really useful. The customer service was really responsive when we asked a couple of questions. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend or return!

We spent a lovely week at Mountain View. The apartment is clean, stylish and comfortable. In fact , we got so comfortable that we didn't want to leave!

The kitchen is well equipped and has the most amazing views. Comfy bed, great shower and lovely furnishings.

Great location to stroll through lovely Hope Park and on to the lake and to explore the town. Also, conveniently, only a very short stroll to Booths to pick up supplies.

Fab...would definitely book again.

The apartment was perfectly located for both Keswick town centre and the Derwent. The facilities were top notch and the beds were incredibly comfy - perfect after a day walking! Would have been useful if there were a few basic supplies in the apartment such as tea, coffee, sugar, etc as on arrival it would have been nice to have a cup of tea. However this was not the end of the world.

Hello Claire, Thank you for taking the time to review your stay at Mountain View. We are so glad you had a nice stay here and enjoyed the walks straight from the door.

We are sorry if this had not been arranged for your arrival, we hope on your next visit you can make use of this welcome pack and enjoy a nice cup of tea with the views from Mountain View.

A super clean apartment on the top floor so felt like a mountain of stairs to climb which we knew about but you need to be reasonably fit. A good central location. Apartment nicely laid out and extremely comfortable. Comfortable beds and settee and good shower. We found it a bit noisy on the Friday night as there was live music in a local bar which was really loud and there is no double glazing. Thankfully no live music the next 2 nights. The apartment has an allocated parking space in the courtyard which is a big plus for Keswick. There are spaces for 6 cars but they are a bit tight and one of our neighbours reversed into the side of our car leaving a nice dint and scratch to deal with. Otherwise we had an enjoyable weekend

As the title suggests, we have been staying in this apartment for many many years and that must say it all.
It’s location is perfect if you want to be near the lake and also to the centre of Keswick. Because it’s a penthouse apartment, the views are amazing but you need to be fit enough to manage stairs - there are lots to climb and no lift!!
The new owners are gradually updating the furniture etc but have also managed to keep the character.
We just hope the prices don’t increase too much in future years.
