Description

Skiddaw Skies is situated in a quiet no through road in the heart of Keswick, an ideal location for easy access to local amenities, Fitz Park and the beautiful Lake Derwentwater, yet tucked away from any passing traffic or passers-by. This beautiful apartment is the upper floors of a lovely Victorian property, accessed by a flight of steps, and its elevated position provides fabulous panoramic views across the fells from all windows.

The lounge is spacious, light and comfortable, with two settees, dining table and chairs, internet enabled Smart TV with integrated DVD, CD player and large windows looking across Keswick towards Catbells and the north western fells. This room has an open fire for cosy winter evenings and books and maps on the local area are provided.

The modern fitted kitchen is situated next to the lounge and is well equipped with an electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge, freezer, microwave and a breakfast bar with great Latrigg views.

The luxurious main bathroom is fitted to a high standard, with a large shower, roll-top bath, wash basin and WC.

On the middle floor, there are two adjacent bedrooms. The large double bedroom has oak furniture providing plenty of storage space, a flat-screen TV and a super-king sized bed from which the fantastic fell views can be admired. This room has an ensuite bathroom with a shower, wash basin and WC.

The second bedroom has twin beds, oak furniture and views towards Skiddaw.

The top loft floor of Skiddaw Skies has been recently converted to a third bedroom with twin beds, oak furniture and ensuite WC with basin. The two large velux windows on either side of this room provide amazing views of both Skiddaw and the north western fells. All bedrooms are dressed in luxury linens and towels.

There is a superb roof terrace with furniture which is the perfect place to sit and take in the wonderful scenery over a sunny breakfast or on summer evenings. A private parking space for one car is allocated just opposite the property.

Skiddaw Skies is suitable for bookings with one small dog.

Please note the property has a number of flights of stairs so may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues.

Reduced occupancy may be available for this property if only one or two bedrooms are required. Please contact the office to enquire.

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.

What views
Booked for a week as our usual choice was taken. We are so pleased we tried this wonderful house. It is well stocked for self catering, has a large kitchen with breakfast bar with wonderful views over Latrigg. A very warm and comfortable house, a home from home. The bathroom is very large and spacious with a lovely large tub and shower. The sitting room is equipped with books, games and DVD's along with fantastic views over Catbells, Causy pike and Scar crags and on a clear day you can see for miles. Good communication from Keswick cottages regarding arrival and departure. A very comfortable stay.

Accommodation fantastic and the views are fantastic throughout the day. Highly recommend as close to shops and pubs and has a car parking space too.
The house was really great with a super well equipped kitchen, which is so nice when cooking in!
