Brilliant stay at a brilliant location
Had a long weekend stay at this great apartment and what strikes you straightaway is how light and spacious the whole apartment is. It's spotlessly clean, well-furnished and equipped. But best of all is the location, it's very central to Keswick with shops, bars and restaurants close by so you feel right in the heart of Keswick with all the bustle and hustle, but without all the noise and traffic. Recommended without hesitation. A final word about Keswick, if you haven't been before it's a treat and the finest place to stay in the Lake District. Everything you need is within walking distance from trips up on the fells, to on or around the lake, and there is a plethora of shops, bars and restaurants to visit. You'll find there is no need to move your car you have everything you need right on your doorstep.

Hi, Mike! What a cracking review — thank you so much. We’re absolutely delighted you enjoyed your long weekend at The Tops and really appreciate you taking the time to share such thoughtful feedback. It’s great to hear how much you noticed (and enjoyed!) the light, spacious feel of the apartment, as well as the cleanliness, furnishings, and overall comfort — those details really matter to us. You’ve summed up the location perfectly too: right in the heart of Keswick, close to everything, yet pleasantly tucked away from the noise and traffic. That balance is exactly what we hope guests will experience, and we’re thrilled it worked so well for you. We also loved your final words about Keswick itself — you’re absolutely right, it’s a very special place and a fantastic base for exploring the Lakes, whether that’s the fells, the lake, or simply enjoying the town’s brilliant shops, bars, and restaurants without even needing the car. Thank you again for such a generous recommendation — it really means a lot, especially coming from one of our favourite returning guests. We’re very much looking forward to welcoming you back again. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Fabulous property in fantastic location.
We have stayed in many places in Keswick and this wonderful flat is certainly up there with the best. The location for an out of season visit is superb. Very close to all of the local amenities with beautiful views towards the fells from the upstairs rooms. The flat was spotlessly clean, well equipped, and always warm. An idea location with options for many walks straight from the door or only a few minutes drive away. We can highly recommend The Fell Pack, The Square Orange and LRB for delicious reasonably priced meals. We only have one small gripe. The double bed. The mattress was a little lumpy and very firm. There was also a roll to the middle. I had to use another bed. However this would not prevent us from visiting The Tops again as we had another wonderful week in the glorious Lake District.

Hi Hugh, Thank you so much for such a lovely and detailed review — we’re absolutely delighted to hear The Tops is now one of your favourites in Keswick! It’s wonderful to know the location worked so well for your out?of?season stay, and that you enjoyed those beautiful fell views from upstairs. We’re really pleased the flat felt spotless, cosy, warm, and well equipped, and that you made the most of the walks right from the door. Thank you as well for sharing your favourite places to eat — always handy for future guests! We’re sorry to hear the double mattress wasn’t quite right for you. We really appreciate you mentioning it, and we’ll pass your feedback straight on to the owner so it can be looked into. It means a lot that, even with that small issue, you still had a wonderful week in the Lakes and would return to The Tops. We’d love to welcome you back again for another stay. 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!
