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.



Fantastic stay.

We had a fantastic stay at Keswick, it was a relaxing place, especially on a rainy day, it was a short walk into town, lots of local shops, restaurants and pubs. Would definitely recommend and come back.

The apartment was extremely clean and warm and very welcoming on our arrival. Bed was very comfortable, slightly disappointed it was only a double but still comfortable.
Everything you could need in the kitchen and heating remained constant to keep apartment warm.
Only negative point was the noise from stairs where people came in and out late at night as walls very thin.

Third time at Skiddaw View. Still a fantastic small but very warm flat in the centre of Keswick. Ideal for shops, pubs and restaurants.
The flat has everything you need for a comfortable stay. A lovely bathroom for relaxing after long walks, a small but very functional well equipped kitchen and a lovely large sofa for relaxing on. Keswick cottages staff were very helpful when contacted, a lovely local company. Will definitely stay again.

We stayed for a week at Skiddaw View , the apartment was very centrally located to all the Shops, bars & restaurants .
We were traveling on a motorbike & there was parking at the rear .
There were lots of walking nearby & a great bus service to many other towns if needed.
The apartment was very clean, modern and cosy . Just what you need when it is raining outside . They also have an airing cupboard to dry your wet clothes ( very useful )
A great view of Skiddaw from your bed !!
The staff at Keswick Cottages across the street were very friendly & helpful .

Thank you so much for your 5 star review about Skiddaw View! We think the location is perfect to explore the shops, bars and restaurants that are in Keswick! Traveling on a motorbike must be so exciting! We think the private parking space is a great feature of the apartment! The bus service is great around the Lake District and there's so many walks to choose from, its hard to choose sometimes! We are so glad you found the apartment very modern, clean and cosy! It feels extra cosy when its raining outside! The airing cupboard is a great feature of Skiddaw View! The fact you can view Skiddaw whilst still in bed it so special!

This flat was in a great central location. It was comfortable and well equipped with all we needed for our stay. We did have a couple of minor issues which Rebecca and Antony of Keswick Cottages resolved quickly as they were very approachable and had a lovely helpful manner. There was scaffolding around the flats which we were made aware of prior to stay ,it did obscure view but did not disrupt our holiday . we had a great holiday and would certainly book this accommodation again in the future.

I just want to note that the customer service we received was absolutely excellent.
From the moment we booked I felt that the people on the other end of the phone actually cared about our stay.
Furthermore, just to enhance this, when we arrived, the television was broken , once it was reported we felt that Keswick Cottages did their upmost to rectify the issue in the most efficient and professional way possible.
I’ve stayed in Keswick with all the holiday let companies but I’ve got to say that Keswick Cottages provide the most friendly , caring and professional service out of them all !!
Well done to them !!!!

For a short stay the apartment was super, very clean and comfortable and central for enjoying Keswick and the surrounding area. We are regulars to the Lake District and didn’t need any area information but if you did there was plenty of help on hand from Keswick Cottages.
My only concern was the tight car parking space… if you removed the metal posts it would be a lot easier to park. We have a medium sized car but if we’d had a bigger car this would have been a stress!

We really enjoyed staying at Skiddaw View, the location is perfect for access to Keswick and the surrounding areas. The accommodation was well appointed, bright and modern with everything we needed for our stay. The only downside was the fact we found the pans hadn't been cleaned properly and contained bits of food from previous guests.
Despite this small issue we would happily recommend.



A welcome extra night because of the snow!!

My husband and I have always stayed at a hotel in Keswick although as a young adult I stayed in a house my parents owned. Sadly they sold it before I married present husband!!
We decided to try a self catering option this time and to be honest really do wonder why we didn`t do it before.
Flat 1 Skiddaw View was warm, comfortable, well equipped and had fantastic views of the mountain - it certainly lives up to its name!
It was really good location wise as it takes literally minutes to get into the middle of the town.
We had to stay an extra night because of the snow - oh what a shame!!
I would highly recommend the apartment - we will most certainly be returning!

Lovely compact apartment in centre of Keswick. Lovely views from windows and all amenities close by. Flat had everything you need for a comfortable stay and the bed was very comfy too. The only thing that did not work was the Keswick cottages information tablet but that was not a problem at all as they keep in touch via email. An enjoyable 2nd trip to this apartment and the fifth time we have used Keswick Cottages.

Perfect little apartment for 2 and a small dog. Gorgeous comfy bed you melt into after long walks! Amazing location, 2 skips and you are at the doggy cafe and then onto the pub! Couch was super comfy, with all the tv you could ask for to relax to after a long day.
We absolutely loved it and would deffo book again.
Only negative for us was the lightbulb in lounge tall lamp was so bright we couldn’t use it. Shower was extremely slow. But overall perfect

This flat was perfect for a couples’ getaway. Lovely views of Latrigg and Skiddaw from the window with most of Keswick reachable within a 5 minute walk.

The bed and sofa were comfy though the shower pressure wasn’t the best but it sufficed.

Would definitely stay again and recommend to others.

This is a lovely cosy apartment, ideally sized for two and with the promised view of Skiddaw from all windows (weather depending!) The central location in Keswick was perfect and the private parking space a huge plus point. Everything was modern, clean, and easy to use, with the only niggle being that the lock on the door was occasionally tricky to use.

First time staying in Skiddaw View with Keswick Cottages although we have stayed in numerous other properties with Keswick Cottages over many years. The apartment was very central and handy for Fitz Park. Good standard of accommodation and great there was private parking with it being so central. The lock on the front door to the apartment itself can be tricky though and needs looking at. Did notice previous guests had commented on this also. Won’t be our last trip to Keswick great place for a break.

Good location, the outside of the building looks abit run down but the actual flat is lovely and well stocked.

Parking is ok - although metal poles either side make parking tricky and the space isn’t that close to the entrance which did make packing/ unpacking more difficult. Think this is a fair trade off though for the central Keswick location

Just about enough space to stay with one child
