Description

The Ridgeway is a beautiful Victorian property, with many personal touches to create a ’home from home’ feel and ideal for those wishing to be close to all local amenities but just out of the way of traffic and crowds.

The fully enclosed south facing patio has wonderful views to the fells for perfect al fresco dining. Private parking is allocated opposite for one car.

The large, bright lounge with high ceilings on the first floor has a fabulous bay window looking out over Keswick to Catbells and the fells beyond. There are two large sofas and an open fire for cosy winter nights, with dining table in the picture postcard bay window. There is a Smart TV, DVD, games console, and plenty of Lakeland guides, books and games.

The twin bedroom with solid oak furniture (chest of drawers, wardrobe and bedside tables) is also on the first floor with lovely views towards Latrigg. This room can be converted to a King-size bed upon request.

The first floor bathroom is fully tiled and has a double ended bath, separate shower cubicle, towel rail and wash hand basin. There is a separate WC on this floor.

On the ground floor there is a bright double bedroom with a leather chair positioned in the bay window overlooking the patio/garden. There is a double bed, with plenty of storage, a flat screen TV/DVD, dressing table and lovely high ceilings. Both bedrooms are dressed with luxury linens and fresh white fluffy towels.

The very modern kitchen is also on the ground floor with fitted units, granite worktops, built in electric oven and gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washing machine, DAB radio and breakfast bar, with well stocked cupboards with everything you would need on a self-catering holiday.

There is a sizeable utility room at the back of the apartment for walking gear and bikes, with a tumble dryer and providing a useful back door with rear access to the street.

The downstairs shower room has a shower, WC and wash hand basin.

Clean, comfortable with fabulous views
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at The Ridgeway. Only 2 minutes into town & the same to Fitz Park with our 2 dogs but so quiet & fab view of the fells from the upstairs living room window. This cottage is high end with lovely furnishings & decoration & we loved the quirky postcards & pictures of Keswick on the wall outside the living room. All in all a fabulous stay in our favourite Lake District town.

Thank you so much for your review of The Ridgeway! We are so happy you had a wonderful time and appreciated the location of it. Set back from the busy roads, it offers stunning views and a relaxing place to return to after a day out exploring. The quirky pictures and postcards make The Ridgeway a memorable place to stay! We are so glad you had a fabulous stay and we hope to welcome you back again! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Ridgeway, Keswick
We were very happy with the accommodation. It's location from the centre of Keswick was perfect for my dad, who is 93, and can't walk too far. At the top end of the road and only a few mins walk, there is access to Fitz park over the Greta river which is very pretty. The accommodation is quirky in its layout but comfortable, with great views of the hills from the living/dining room and very quiet at night. The kitchen is fabulous and very well stocked with all the utensils etc. you need. I definitely recommend this property.

Thank you so much for your review and recommendation of The Ridgeway! It is so pleasing to know you were very happy with your accommodation. We're also happy that you found it perfect location-wise for your Dad, being located in central Keswick means you aren't far away from the town amenities. The kitchen is very well equipped for a self catering holiday and the furnishings make it an unique layout for you to remember. Keswick has so much to offer you can either walk in Fitz Park, visit the shops, go to the Pencil museum or enjoy various walks in and around Keswick. We hope you had a wonderful time and we hope to welcome you back again! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Great spot for getting to know Keswick
We had a lovely short break at The Ridgeway, helped by some beautiful weather. We found it an ideally positioned base for our stay, with shops, pubs, lake, buses all within an easy few minutes stroll, and more serious walks possible straight from the front door. We didn't use our car once during our 4 day stay! The property was great too. Very well equipped and comfortable once we got used to the interesting room layout and the slightly unexpected stairs, and a fabulous view from the sitting room bay window. If we had to find something to improve it would be the mattress on the main bed, but it wasn't a problem. Keswick Cottages were very straightforward to deal with, and in our limited contacts with them we found them helpful and friendly. We would happily book again, and indeed hope to do so soon!

Thank you so much for your review of The Ridgeway! We are so happy you enjoyed your short break and had beautiful weather. We're so glad you found this an ideally positioned base for your stay. We hope you enjoyed exploring the town and fells. We are so pleased you found the cottage comfortable and very well equipped and that you enjoyed the stunning views from the sitting room. Thank you so much for your kind comments about our customer service, we always want our guests to contact us with any query and we will happily answer this for them. We hope to welcome you back again! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

We come to the Lake District twice a year and this was our first time at Ridgeway. Excellent value for money, quiet location, 5 minute walk into town, spotlessly clean, very comfortable and simple, easy to follow instructions for everything. Will definitely be back and we as a family of 4 highly recommend it!

Fabulous position, spotlessly clean property, amazing views from the lounge over to Catbells and Causey Pike Spent the week going out walking, and plenty of apres walk drinks at local pubs. Fab meal at The Pheasant, lamb Henry was particularly good. Didn’t need to get in the car at all!

This is the second time we have booked accommodation in Keswick through Keswick Cottages, and once again, their service has been spot on from start to finish. And The Ridgeway proved to suit us perfectly in every respect, exactly what we were looking for. Many thanks - we'll be back. Edward
