Description

Styled to a beautiful high standard, the Townhouses offer you the option to stay together with friends or family in your very own private Keswick cottage.

Built at the turn of the century in the vernacular slate architecture, the Townhouses are warm and welcoming, yet stylish, light and spacious. The houses are tastefully stocked to make your stay in the Lake District a pleasure. Many period features are retained and sympathetically restored, including original floor tiles, fireplaces and ceiling coving. The four elegant bedrooms are spread out over three floors for space, comfort and privacy.

On the ground floor, there is a spacious bedroom with king-size bed, a well-stocked kitchen teamed with rustic bench and seating, and also a shower room to the back of the house. Essentials such as cutlery, utensils, cookware and appliances are paired with indulgent little extras such as an espresso machine.

The stylish living area is on the first floor, with a log-burning stove to complement the central heating enjoyed throughout. A flatscreen Smart TV permits access to Netflix, Now TV, Amazon Prime (please bring your subscription details to log in to these services) as well as a DVD player and normal TV channels. Also on the first floor is the main family bathroom, and a double bedroom. Cole and Lewis bathroom toiletries are offered in the bath and shower rooms, together with fresh towels.

The twin bedroom is on the second floor and can be made up as super-king on request (please be aware there is a £15 charge for this service), along with another double bedroom.

High-specification WiFi is provided throughout for your convenience and connectivity to home.

Each house has its own private outdoor area, with seating, to enjoy a meal or a glass of wine at the end of the day.

The restaurants, wine bars, supermarkets and other diversions of Keswick are only a moment’s walk away, and the quietude of the fells can be experienced in under an hour’s walk or a few minutes drive.

Windows open onto views of Skiddaw and Latrigg to the north and to Catbells, over the rooftops of Keswick, to the south.

Visitors to No.5 have the convenience of two complimentary parking permits to the adjacent long stay car park.

Please note the Townhouses are not available for hen or stag events.

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

Shhh! Don't tell others...
Great property, great location, great value for money, and a super-slick use of technology to make the whole experience easy and efficient. In fact, I almost didn't write a review as I wanted to keep this place 'secret' as it's a proper gem!
