Description

The Ridgeway is a beautiful Victorian property, with many personal touches to create a ’home from home’ feel, ideal for those wishing to be close to all local amenities, but just out of the way of traffic and crowds.

The fully-enclosed south-facing patio has wonderful views to the fells for perfect al-fresco dining.

Private parking is allocated for one car.

The large, bright lounge with high ceilings on the first floor has a fabulous bay window looking out over Keswick to Catbells and the fells beyond. There are two large sofas and an open fire for cosy winter nights, with dining table in the picture postcard bay window. There is a Smart TV, DVD player, and plenty of Lakeland guides, books and games.

The twin bedroom with solid oak furniture (chest of drawers, wardrobe and bedside tables) is also on the first floor with lovely views towards Latrigg. This room can be converted to king-sized upon request.

The first floor bathroom is fully tiled and has a double-ended bath, separate shower cubicle, towel rail and wash hand basin. There is a separate WC on this floor.

On the ground floor, there is a bright king bedroom with a leather chair positioned in the bay window overlooking the patio/garden. There is a new Euro king-size bed with quality mattress, plenty of storage, a flatscreen TV/DVD, dressing table, and lovely high ceilings. Both bedrooms are dressed with luxury linens and fresh white fluffy towels.

The very modern kitchen is also on the ground floor with fitted units, granite worktops, built-in electric oven and gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing machine, DAB radio and breakfast bar, with well-stocked cupboards with everything you need for a self-catering holiday.

There is a sizeable utility room at the back of the apartment for walking gear and bikes, with a tumble dryer and providing a useful back door with rear access to the street.

The downstairs shower room has a shower, WC and wash hand basin.

Keswick offers plenty of activities and amenities for your stay. Whether you’re looking for adventure activities, retail therapy, or new and exciting things to do, there’s something to keep everyone entertained.

Need to stock up on groceries for your self-catering Keswick holiday? Booths and Co-Op are Keswick’s two main supermarkets, with produce also available on the Keswick Markets.

If you’re looking to venture out into the Lake District without a car, Keswick is serviced by the X4 and X5 bus services, running all the way from Workington to Penrith, linking Keswick to local train stations

Idylic
Loved our stay at The Ridgeway! All as expected, no issues, perfect central Keswick location too :) The views from the living room are stunning. Would recommend and we would stay there again. Thank you!

Its central location and stunning views are certainly among its highlights, so it's wonderful to know you were able to make the most of both during your visit.

Thank you again for your kind recommendation, and we look forward to welcoming you back to The Ridgeway and the Lake District again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Very Comfortable Apartment in a Great Location
A lovely apartment in a great location, very convenient for central Keswick but also very quiet and has lovely views of the hills around Derwent Water. Also has the added bonus of an allocated parking space, which is very helpful. The apartment kept cool, especially the ground floor, which was great during the recent very hot weather.

Hi there! Thank you so much for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the apartment and its fantastic location — close enough to enjoy everything Keswick has to offer, whilst still being peaceful and quiet. It’s wonderful to know you appreciated the views towards the fells around Derwentwater too. They really do add something special to a stay. We’re also pleased the allocated parking space proved useful, as we know that’s a real bonus in such a convenient location. And with the recent spell of hot weather, it’s great to hear the apartment remained cool and comfortable, especially on the ground floor. Thank you again for your kind words. We’re so pleased you had an enjoyable stay and would be delighted to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages
