Review of Appletree in Portinscale June 2025
The property is of a real high standard and the Portinscale location is a perfect being quiet but Keswick is walkable. The property does not leave you wanting as it provides everything one would need for a holiday. Highly recommended.

We're thrilled that you found the cottage to be of a high standard, with everything you needed. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Five stars in all respects
We could not have found a better place for our family reunion - three couples and a small dog. It is a lovely property with a great layout and three bathrooms. There is a wrap around garden which catches the sun at different times of the day for a sit /eat out (weather permitting). Over and above the description!

Thank you for your fantastic review of Appletree. We are thrilled that this property more than met your expectations. We're pleased that you managed to take advantage of the garden when the weather allowed and hopefully your dog enjoyed a good run around too! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Very comfortable and well located property
We had a very comfortable stay at Appletree. The property is well located with easy access to Keswick and Derwent Water. Appletree is very well equipped with plenty of crockery, glasses etc. The afternoon and evening sun hit the table and chairs in the garden making it very relaxing for an evening drink! Lovely holiday home!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write a fantastic 5* review of Appletree, we are so happy to hear that you have had a lovely time at the property! Appletree is a great property for groups of friends and families to gather with a lovely private garden and easy access to Keswick and the surrounding fells. We hope to welcome you back in the future! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Expensive, but far the most we have ever paid for a holiday cottage. But we booked just one day before August bank holiday, excellent location, so not unhappy. Very high standard everywhere, well-equipped kitchen,. We appreciated the children's games which our Chinese 11 year old enjoyed playing with both families. Room configuration with one downstairs double bedroom works well for a variety of family/guest types. We hope to return to this cottage with our family

Been several times over recent years and seen improvements on each occasion. Nicely decorated with a well equipped kitchen. Three bathrooms ensures everyone gets out on the fells in record time, making the most of our precious days in the beautiful Lakes. Lovely dog proof garden, decent off-street parking and a warm cozy, well insulated abode for when the Lakeland nights have a chill in the air. The property is perfectly situated away from the hustle and bustle of Keswick, yet only a short walk away (20 mins) along a dedicated footpath between the town and the village of Portinscale. Similarly you’ll find a walk in almost every direction from the property, whether it’s lowland by the side of the lake or along the dismantled railway, to high elevations like Skiddaw and Helvellyn etc. The car hardly moves all week as there’s so many fantastic trails and walks from the front door. We’re definitely coming back to stay at Appletree.

In April we had a lovely stay at Appletree. What a wonderful cottage. The house is in great condition, it has been very nicely modernised with excellent bathrooms and kitchen. Unfortunately the weather was not great so we couldn’t make use of the pretty garden. Plenty of space for 6. Pub around the corner. What more could you ask? Thoroughly recommend.
