Overview

Mountain View is a fabulous penthouse apartment in the centre of Keswick commanding views of Skiddaw to one side and Borrowdale to the other. It is a fantastic two-bedroom apartment that offers the ideal place to relax with family and friends, situated within easy walking distance of Keswick Market Square and Derwentwater lakeshore. The apartment is spread over the top floor on one level, where guests are comfortably accommodated in the two tastefully styled bedrooms, sharing one family bathroom. Hosting open plan living, the well equipped kitchen is situated next to the large living area, with additional dining space. Essentials, such as cookwear and appliances, are paired with indulgent extras, such as a new espresso machine and a selection of espresso pods. The apartment is well stocked to make your Lake District stay a pleasure. Mountain View is the penthouse apartment in a small quiet block, and being on the top floor, may mean a healthy trot up three flights of stairs, but it certainly has the best views!

Description

Mountain View is a fantastic two bedroom apartment that offers the ideal place to relax with family and friends, situated within easy walking distance of Keswick Market Square and Derwentwater lakeshore. The apartment is located in Heads Road Court, a little hidden courtyard super close to the lake, but in the town centre.

The free, allocated parking certainly helps breathe a sigh of relief when you arrive. Mountain View is the top floor apartment in the small, quiet, block, which is half residential, half holiday accommodation.

Being the penthouse apartment may mean a healthy trot up three flights of stairs, but it certainly has the best views! You can’t beat the views of Skiddaw to one side and towards the lake and Borrowdale on the other. Don’t fear if you have outdoor equipment, or a big buggy, we have secure storage in the courtyard, where you can keep your things safe during your stay.

The apartment has a beautifully styled king-size bedroom, and second bedroom with a double bed plus one single bed making the property very versatile for different groups. The family bathroom, with shower over the bath, includes luxury bathroom toiletries.

Hosting open plan living, the kitchen has a fridge, freezer, double oven, five burner gas hob, dishwasher and microwave. In the large lounge area, there is a dining table for four, and a leather corner sofa with TV and DVD. There is gas central heating for the chillier months and a feature electric fire in the lounge area. We offer free, secure WiFi throughout the apartment.

Keswick offers plenty of options to keep you occupied during your stay. For walkers the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trial which starts next to the Keswick Leisure centre is a 5 kilometre (10 kilometre there and back) walk along what was once a railway track. It offers beautiful views and is a multi-user trial suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs and mobility scooters. If you fancy something with a little more elevation and spectacular views, Latrigg and Walla Crag can be reached from your doorstep, and you can even tick off some Wainwrights! 10 minutes out of Keswick is Whinlatter forest, which offers a huge selection of walks and outdoor activities.

Keswick itself offers lots of amenities, from shops to cafés, pubs to theatres, you will be spoilt for choice.

Delightful, very clean
A lovely flat, I was very impressed particularly with how clean it was - as someone with severe food allergies such a clean kitchen was a dream. Brilliant location and lovely decor too.

Great stay.
We really enjoyed our time at Mountain View. Didn't have the best view of the mountain down to the low clouds but when it did appear it was beautiful. The apartment was pretty much perfect. Supplied everything you could possibly need and everything was straightforward easy to use. Shower was lovely hot and powerful after a day of walking round the lakes in the cold and wet great to come back to a warm cosy apartment and relax on the super comfy settee. Round the corner literally from shops bars and restaurants great location.

Hi, Amy! Thank you so much for your lovely review — it really made us smile. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at Mountain View, even if the mountain itself decided to play hide?and?seek in the low clouds for part of your visit. When it does appear, it really is a beauty, and we’re glad you still managed to catch a glimpse. We’re thrilled the apartment felt pretty much perfect for you. It’s great to hear you found everything you needed and that everything was easy and straightforward to use — that’s exactly what we aim for. And we completely agree: coming back to a warm, cosy apartment and a properly comfy sofa after a cold, wet day walking the Lakes is one of life’s understated joys. We’re also so pleased the shower hit the spot — hot, powerful and restorative is just how it should be after a day on your feet. And yes, being just around the corner from all the shops, bars and restaurants is one of Mountain View’s best perks. Thank you again for taking the time to write such a kind review. We’d be absolutely delighted to welcome you back — hopefully next time with a little less cloud and a few more mountain views! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

We had a great stay here, couldn't have asked for a better location in relation to town and Derwentwater. The place itself was super cosy and had everything you could need. We'd definitely return if visiting Keswick again.
Great apartment in a fantastic location. The views are excellent and the property is beautifully maintained with lots of high quality kitchen equipment. Easy walking distance to both the lake and town, and a peaceful place to relax. We briefly had an issue with the heating but this was quickly resolved by the hosts. Would highly recommend this place.
Lovely apartment, centrally located - close to the lake, shops, restaurants etc. Clean, modern and well-pointed.
