The front door is found on the 1st floor of the shared hallway and leads to the entrance hall of the property, from where 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-sized 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!

Fantastic property situated right in the centre of Keswick town.
Fantastic property situated right in the centre of Keswick town. Right opposite Hope Park, lovely location. Access to the apartment was easy, property was very clean and well maintained with everything we needed inside. Would definitely recommend.
Excellent Accommodation
Great location and space within the apartment. Views from apartment were lovely. Parking spot appreciated. Flat well decorated. Hope to return soon.

Hi Elaine, Thank you for your review. The Tops is based right in the heart of Keswick so it isn't too far from the shops or the many restaurants the town has to offer. It is only a short walk down to the lake where you can enjoy a ride on the launch or have a game of pitch and putt. We hope we can welcome you back again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Mid week break
We stopped for a month to Friday break at the tops in Keswick. The location of the apartment is excellent, but a little bit noisy late at night and first thing in the morning. The apartment has everything you could need for a short break away. A couple of points to mention. The slats on the King size bed all loose and therefore creek at night when you move. The central heating is permanently and there was no way to adjust the temperature. At sometimes it felt like we were in a sauna!! Overall, a brilliant stay in a fantastic location. We will look to return in the future.

Hi Simon, Thank you for your review. The central location of The Tops makes it an ideal base for exploring Keswick and the Lake District. There is a bus stop outside that will take you down the Borrowdale Valley where there are plenty of great walks. We're glad you had a brilliant stay and we hope to welcome you back again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

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!
Had a fantastic stay at Park View with friends. Beautiful apartment, will definately be returning soon!
