Overview

Mountain View is a fabulous penthouse apartment in the centre of Keswick commanding views of Skiddaw to one side and Borrowdale to the other. It is a fantastic two-bedroom apartment that offers the ideal place to relax with family and friends, situated within easy walking distance of Keswick Market Square and Derwentwater lakeshore. The apartment is spread over the top floor on one level, where guests are comfortably accommodated in the two tastefully styled bedrooms, sharing one family bathroom. Hosting open plan living, the well equipped kitchen is situated next to the large living area, with additional dining space. Essentials, such as cookwear and appliances, are paired with indulgent extras, such as a new espresso machine and a selection of espresso pods. The apartment is well stocked to make your Lake District stay a pleasure. Mountain View is the penthouse apartment in a small quiet block, and being on the top floor, may mean a healthy trot up three flights of stairs, but it certainly has the best views!

Description

Mountain View is a fantastic two bedroom apartment that offers the ideal place to relax with family and friends, situated within easy walking distance of Keswick Market Square and Derwentwater lakeshore. The apartment is located in Heads Road Court, a little hidden courtyard super close to the lake, but in the town centre.

The free, allocated parking certainly helps breathe a sigh of relief when you arrive. Mountain View is the top floor apartment in the small, quiet, block, which is half residential, half holiday accommodation.

Being the penthouse apartment may mean a healthy trot up three flights of stairs, but it certainly has the best views! You can’t beat the views of Skiddaw to one side and towards the lake and Borrowdale on the other. Don’t fear if you have outdoor equipment, or a big buggy, we have secure storage in the courtyard, where you can keep your things safe during your stay.

The apartment has a beautifully styled king-size bedroom, and second bedroom with a double bed plus one single bed making the property very versatile for different groups. The family bathroom, with shower over the bath, includes luxury bathroom toiletries.

Hosting open plan living, the kitchen has a fridge, freezer, double oven, five burner gas hob, dishwasher and microwave. In the large lounge area, there is a dining table for four, and a leather corner sofa with TV and DVD. There is gas central heating for the chillier months and a feature electric fire in the lounge area. We offer free, secure WiFi throughout the apartment.

Keswick offers plenty of options to keep you occupied during your stay. For walkers the Keswick to Threlkeld Railway Trial which starts next to the Keswick Leisure centre is a 5 kilometre (10 kilometre there and back) walk along what was once a railway track. It offers beautiful views and is a multi-user trial suitable for pushchairs, wheelchairs and mobility scooters. If you fancy something with a little more elevation and spectacular views, Latrigg and Walla Crag can be reached from your doorstep, and you can even tick off some Wainwrights! 10 minutes out of Keswick is Whinlatter forest, which offers a huge selection of walks and outdoor activities.

Keswick itself offers lots of amenities, from shops to cafés, pubs to theatres, you will be spoilt for choice.

A gem of a property
We had a wonderful stay at Mountain View. It was our first stay in Keswick and I would definitely use Keswick Cottages again as they provide excellent customer service. The property itself was perfect for our needs. It was sparkling clean and obviously well maintained. Fabulous views a bonus. It had a central position so perfect for town centre shopping and restaurants. Easy access to the fantastic walks nearby.

A really good place to stay
The location with its designated free parking was brilliant. We could do some walks straight from the front door without needing to use the car. The apartment had everything you need, really comfortable, spotlessly clean and the bath was great after a long walk. The 3 flights of stairs mentioned in other reviews wasn't that bad. The only downside was the noise of bin lorries and deliveries across the car park at 5am and the noise of glass bottles being emptied into a bin from the restaurant below. Not terrible, but we stayed in March, I expect the noise during peak summer season would be much worse.

Thank you for your lovely review of Mountain View, we are so happy to hear you enjoyed your stay! Mountain View is in a fantastic location if you want to get into the fells from your front door, and you can't beat a hot bath after a long walk! Unfortunately some noise does come with that central Keswick location, but there are the perks of the property being above the amazing Fellpack restaurant, so easy to pop down for a tasty meal! We hope to welcome you back soon! Best Wishes, Keswick Cottages

Excellent base
We have used the flat for many years and can highly recommend it. Its recent refurbishment is very impressive. Plenty of exercise climbing the stairs!

Well appointed and stylish apartment. It had everything you could need to self cater. Clean, comfortable and great views. It is also in a central location and the parking outside is a great bonus. Easy to walk into town, equally easy to hop in the car and drive out somewhere.

Great location right in central Keswick with access to lake, shops, restaurants etc all on doorstep. The furnishings and fittings were of a high quality and well laid out. I loved the luxury feel of the bedsheets and the huge soft towels. The Nespresso style coffee machine was great. Some capsules provided but not enough for us coffee lovers. The mountain view from the windows was great. I would definitely book again.
