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

Would come again!
Lovely apartment on two levels. Spacious with good quality interior and furniture. The apartment was very comfortable especially the king sized bed (though the duvet was very thin and no extra blankets were provided, we borrowed an extra duvet from one of the single beds though so that worked out as there were only two of us). We loved the location, only a few minutes walk into the town or to Fitz Park and the fact that you get a parking space is a major plus point. We could hear some ‘floor' noises from the upstairs apartment but this didn't bother us as the main bedroom is on the lower floor so very quiet at night. Lovely views over the town and hills from the lounge/dining area.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, Dawn. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your stay at The Ridgeway and found the apartment spacious, comfortable and well furnished. Customer satisfaction is our main priority, so it's wonderful to know that the location, views and dedicated parking space all helped make your stay an enjoyable one. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the bedding, as guest comments are invaluable in helping us continue to improve our properties. Thank you for choosing Keswick Cottages, and we're so pleased to hear that you would return. We would be delighted to welcome you back for another stay in the future and hope to see you again soon.

Short break in Keswick
The Ridgeway is ideal for exploring the northern Lakes. Great location close to the centre of Keswick and the main food shops. Lovely views from the sitting room. Having a parking space was very useful.

Lovely accommodation in perfect location with beautiful views
We loved The Ridgeway. Stunning views from the lounge, really comfortable beds in both rooms, modern and extremely well equipped kitchen and 2 bathrooms. Parking space outside the door and literally 2 minutes to walk into the Centre. Perfect accommodation for your stay in Keswick!

Thank you, Sarah, for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear how much you loved The Ridgeway. Its elevated position gives some truly beautiful views, while being just a short stroll from Keswick's fantastic selection of independent shops, cafés, restaurants, and attractions. It's the perfect base for exploring Derwentwater and the surrounding fells too. We're so pleased you found the apartment comfortable and well equipped, and we hope to welcome you back for another stay in Keswick soon! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages
