Description

The front door is found on the first floor of the shared hallway and leads to the entrance hall of the property, from which you can access the bedrooms, main bathroom and separate foyer.

The elegant master bedroom, located at the front of the property, is furnished with a king-size bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside tables with individual lamps. The room features beautiful high ceilings, a shaker panelled feature wall and arched, sash windows with blackout curtains – which will ensure a great night’s sleep, even in the summer months! The room provides plenty of space to accommodate a cot if needed, and also boasts a 32inch Smart TV with access to streaming services.

Across the hallway to the rear of the property, you will find the twin bedroom. A wardrobe, bedside table and lamp, full-length mirror and blackout curtains are also provided and both bedrooms are finished with luxury bed linen and towels.

Between the two bedrooms you will find the modern family bathroom, decorated with stylish white metro tiles and teal parquet tiled flooring. There is a bath with both waterfall and hand-held shower fixtures overhead, large basin with underneath storage, WC and heated towel rail. A shaver socket is also fitted in this bathroom.

A door on the adjacent wall leads to the spacious central foyer, which has plenty of space to hang coats and store boots, bags, or even a pram. From here you can head up the stairs to the open plan living and dining area on the second floor, which is decorated in the same country cottage style as the bedrooms.

The living room is furnished with a two-seater and three-seater sofa, as well as a stylish footstool for weary walkers to rest their feet on.

No need to worry about evening entertainment at The Tops – you can enjoy a good movie or on demand streaming services on the 44-inch Smart TV, listen to the radio whilst reading a book, or gather round the coffee table and play some board games, of which you will find many! The compact dining table and benches are positioned at the rear of the room, on the right-hand side of the staircase, and enjoys views towards Walla Crag.

From the living area, you will enter the second floor passageway to access the kitchen and separate WC. There is also a second doorway to the communal hallway.

The kitchen has been recently fitted and is equipped with a Delonghi cooker with double oven, grill and gas hob, integrated full sized fridge and freezer, washer-dryer, dishwasher, microwave and toaster. You can also enjoy a delicious brew from the Nespresso machine, whilst admiring the views of Skiddaw from the breakfast bar.

Immaculate property with homely extras
First time booking through Keswick cottages and rebooked with them before we even returned home!! ….We could not fault anything at all, from the moment we walked in (the best quality diffusers provided scent were amazing) the property was the immaculately clean. We don't usually stay so central to Keswick, we chose to because we were taking our cat - as we would want to nip in to him throughout the day - although, he was so happy lounging by the big windows and taking in the beautiful views (again, Keswick cottages were brilliant - they accept and welcome other pets, rather than “dogs only” - the property is situated right next to Hope park then just a little walk further down to the lake, so we felt very close to nature plus we were also only a few min from all the lovely coffee/cake shops and Booths. We will 100% stay here again and all future bookings will be made via Keswick Cottages ??????????

Lovely house in a great location
The Tops is a lovely property, well equipped and well presented. Although dog friendly there is no outdoor space, but that was ok as it's located just 1 minute from Hope park. Only one minor point, the sofas could be comfier.

Hi there! Thank you for your lovely review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed your stay at The Tops and found the property well equipped and beautifully presented. You’re absolutely right about the location — being just a minute from Hope Park really does make it easy for dog walks, even without private outdoor space, so we’re glad that worked well for you. Thank you as well for your feedback regarding the sofas. Comfort can be quite subjective, but we do appreciate you sharing your thoughts and will pass this on for consideration. We’re so pleased you had an enjoyable stay overall and would be very happy to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Hello, I’m writing this now as I know when we get home it will be all go, and back to work 😕 We have had the best time at “the tops” - first time booking through you and we have already booked again for next year,I have just seen “ you'll also be eligible for exclusive returning customer discounts” We just needed to get it booked so we had something to look forward to and we didn’t want to miss out 😊 This has been a great location for us, we are so grateful that you accepted us bringing our cat, who has been good as gold and loved every min - he spent most of his time at either the front or kitchen window just watching the world/dogs/birds go by 😊 One thing we noticed on arrival is how clean the apartment was and how lovely the smell was as soon as we walked in - it was so lovely to have the dried flowers, the very very amazingly scented diffusers all around the house (that we now want at home too).The bedding is also so comfy!! - already googled that too!! Neither of us could possibly find a negative comment about you guys or the accommodation - we have stayed in keswick many times and will be using you for all future bookings, absolutely no doubt about that - attention to detail around the place and the quality of crockery/soaps/welcome pack etc is much appreciated and does make a difference, very happy, thank you, really has felt like home. Just wish we didn’t have to leave.
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!
