Fabulous property in fantastic location.
We have stayed in many places in Keswick and this wonderful flat is certainly up there with the best. The location for an out of season visit is superb. Very close to all of the local amenities with beautiful views towards the fells from the upstairs rooms. The flat was spotlessly clean, well equipped, and always warm. An idea location with options for many walks straight from the door or only a few minutes drive away. We can highly recommend The Fell Pack, The Square Orange and LRB for delicious reasonably priced meals. We only have one small gripe. The double bed. The mattress was a little lumpy and very firm. There was also a roll to the middle. I had to use another bed. However this would not prevent us from visiting The Tops again as we had another wonderful week in the glorious Lake District.

Hi Hugh, Thank you so much for such a lovely and detailed review — we’re absolutely delighted to hear The Tops is now one of your favourites in Keswick! It’s wonderful to know the location worked so well for your out?of?season stay, and that you enjoyed those beautiful fell views from upstairs. We’re really pleased the flat felt spotless, cosy, warm, and well equipped, and that you made the most of the walks right from the door. Thank you as well for sharing your favourite places to eat — always handy for future guests! We’re sorry to hear the double mattress wasn’t quite right for you. We really appreciate you mentioning it, and we’ll pass your feedback straight on to the owner so it can be looked into. It means a lot that, even with that small issue, you still had a wonderful week in the Lakes and would return to The Tops. We’d love to welcome you back again for another stay. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

We had a fantastic stay at the Tops. The location was perfect for access to Keswick, with the added bonus of off-street parking. The apartment was well decorated, spotlessly clean and had great facilities. The welcome package for the dog was a great touch! There was some noise outside on the Saturday evening between 10pm and 11pm, but expected considering the location. Thanks for a great stay.
Returned 'again', 5th maybe 6th time, we LOVE this apartment. Always warm and comfy, well equipped and the bottle of Prosecco and welcome pack are a lovely touch, and despite previous comments we love the firm beds! Thanks for a great stay!
Had a fantastic stay at Park View with friends. Beautiful apartment, will definately be returning soon!
