Christmas in Portinscale
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.

Thank you so much for your 5-star review! We love that you're returning guests and that you found the new Kitchen lovely. We checked the hob after receiving your comment and it was found to be faulty. Apologies for any inconvenience, the hob has now been replaced. Please never hesitate to contact us if there is anything you need during your stay, we are a small local agency just down the road. We hope you had a wonderful time celebrating Christmas at Appletree and we can't wait to welcome you back when you return. Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Been several times over recent years and seen improvements on each occasion. Nicely decorated with a well equipped kitchen. Three bathrooms ensures everyone gets out on the fells in record time, making the most of our precious days in the beautiful Lakes. Lovely dog proof garden, decent off-street parking and a warm cozy, well insulated abode for when the Lakeland nights have a chill in the air. The property is perfectly situated away from the hustle and bustle of Keswick, yet only a short walk away (20 mins) along a dedicated footpath between the town and the village of Portinscale. Similarly you’ll find a walk in almost every direction from the property, whether it’s lowland by the side of the lake or along the dismantled railway, to high elevations like Skiddaw and Helvellyn etc. The car hardly moves all week as there’s so many fantastic trails and walks from the front door. We’re definitely coming back to stay at Appletree.
In April we had a lovely stay at Appletree. What a wonderful cottage. The house is in great condition, it has been very nicely modernised with excellent bathrooms and kitchen. Unfortunately the weather was not great so we couldn’t make use of the pretty garden. Plenty of space for 6. Pub around the corner. What more could you ask? Thoroughly recommend.
