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 player, 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.

Keswick weekend break
Great location, well equipped kitchen, & comfortable place to stay, & having our dog with us with Fitz park just around the corner was a bonus, & also the property had a back door entrance into a large utility room which was great for drying off & cleaning up the dog before entering the carpeted areas,private parking space for one vehicle right across from the property

Thank you for your lovely review, we are delighted that you have had a nice stay at The Ridgeway. It sounds like it ticked all the boxes for you and we hope the pooch enjoyed it too. We hope to host you again for another Lakeland break. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Weekend Away
Had a really comfortable stay at The Ridgeway after deciding to book for the weekend on the spur of the moment. Great location near the centre of Keswick yet fairly quiet. Beautiful well equipped kitchen. Lovely bathroom with a lovely deep bath. Great views from the lounge over towards Catbells and the Newlands Valley. Booked a number of times with Keswick Cottages at various locations and never disappointed.

Thank you for your fantastic review, we're so glad that you enjoyed your last-minute break away to Keswick. The views from the property are fabulous, 'fell-spotting' is a great way to spend your time while relaxing in the lounge. Thank you for all your lovely comments, we're looking forward to hosting you again for your next Lakeland adventure! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Fabulous House
This is the seventh time staying at the Ridgeway. It’s a perfect place to stay and all within walking distance to the town centre, lake and surrounding parks. Plus it has its own parking space. The house is perfect for us and our two little dogs as it has a secure front garden. The kitchen is fully equipped and well stocked. Beautiful views from the living room. Highly recommend this property.

Thank you for the wonderful comments and for your terrific 5* review of The Ridgeway. It's so good to see that you keep returning to the property - we really can't blame you for doing so! Despite being a stones throw from the centre of Keswick, the property is lovely and quiet and enjoys such wonderful views. We look forward to hosting you soon for visit number 8! 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
