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.

Welcoming & comfortable with great views.
It is a lovely property and some of the views from inside were spectacular. We found that it was kept to a very high standard and was very welcoming. Anyway, all in all, we have all had a very pleasant experience. The common shower is INTENSE! Loved it.

Thank you for the fabulous review, we're thrilled that you enjoyed your stay! It is a really magnificent property, there are few places that could boast better views of Keswick. The waterfall shower is fabulous indeed, and the roll top bath is a winner too! Thanks for your comments, we hope to host you again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Beautiful Keswick Property
Fantastic location, excellent accommodation...would highly recommend! Simple booking process. Lots of stairs which may not be suitable for some.

Thank you for your 5* review. We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay and would recommend Skiddaw Skies. Climbing stairs is necessary with the property being on the upper floors, but we hope that the reward of unrivalled views over Keswick and the fells makes this all worthwhile!

The house was really great with a super well equipped kitchen, which is so nice when cooking in! The location is v convenient for bustling Keswick town centre and easy access to lots of walks on your doorstep But the most outstanding thing about the Skiddaw Skies are the views, they really are just stunning
