Description

Skiddaw Skies is situated in a quiet no through road in the heart of Keswick, an ideal location for easy access to local amenities, Fitz Park and the beautiful Lake Derwentwater, yet tucked away from any passing traffic or passers-by. This beautiful apartment is the upper floors of a lovely Victorian property, accessed by a flight of steps, and its elevated position provides fabulous panoramic views across the fells from all windows.

The lounge is spacious, light and comfortable, with two settees, dining table and chairs, internet enabled Smart TV with integrated DVD, CD player and large windows looking across Keswick towards Catbells and the north western fells. This room has an open fire for cosy winter evenings and books and maps on the local area are provided.

The modern fitted kitchen is situated next to the lounge and is well equipped with an electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge, freezer, microwave and a breakfast bar with great Latrigg views.

The luxurious main bathroom is fitted to a high standard, with a large shower, roll-top bath, wash basin and WC.

On the middle floor, there are two adjacent bedrooms. The large double bedroom has oak furniture providing plenty of storage space, a flat-screen TV and a super-king sized bed from which the fantastic fell views can be admired. This room has an ensuite bathroom with a shower, wash basin and WC.

The second bedroom has twin beds, oak furniture and views towards Skiddaw.

The top loft floor of Skiddaw Skies has been recently converted to a third bedroom with twin beds, oak furniture and ensuite WC with basin. The two large velux windows on either side of this room provide amazing views of both Skiddaw and the north western fells. All bedrooms are dressed in luxury linens and towels.

There is a superb roof terrace with furniture which is the perfect place to sit and take in the wonderful scenery over a sunny breakfast or on summer evenings. A private parking space for one car is allocated just opposite the property.

Skiddaw Skies is suitable for bookings with one small dog.

Please note the property has a number of flights of stairs so may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues.

Home from home - 3rd stay at Skiddaw Skies
Returned to Skiddaw Skies for a third year on a pre Christmas break. Stayed at many properties in Keswick, but when we found Skiddaw Skies it was the perfect property for us. We plan to return many more times.

Thank you for your wonderful review, we are so glad that you enjoyed your most recent stay at Skiddaw Skies. We look forward to speaking with you again soon to book stay number 4! Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

We had a wet weekend stay with our 5 year old daughter
Despite the weather we had a lovely stay at Skiddaw skies. The apartment was beautiful, clean, well equipped and in a great location. My daughter loved the selection of toys and games to explore. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Thank you for your terrific 5* review! We are so happy that you had a nice weekend (despite the rain!) at Skiddaw Skies. The views are always beautiful regardless of the weather and we are happy to hear that there was plenty of entertainment for the little one. We hope to host you for your next break in the Lakes. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages.

Comfort with Views
We had an excellent week at Skiddaw Skies and the views did not disappoint. How great to be able to wash-up and see the fells at the same time. The apartment was warm, cosy and comfortable with plenty of books, games and DVDs and the central location was great for the shops and bus stops (we did not bring the car). We particularly loved the large map in the kitchen so we could plan our walks. The only improvement would be to have a pyrex casserole or two, with lids, for re-heating food.

Thank you for your fantastic 5* review! We are thrilled that you enjoyed your time at Skiddaw Skies. It sounds like you have had a fantastic stay and we hope that the weather was kind to you for your walks. A good read and some boardgames in the evening are the perfect way to end a nice day out in the fells as well. Thank you for the helpful feedback, we will pass this on to the owner. We hope to host you again for another Lakeland break. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

The house was really great with a super well equipped kitchen, which is so nice when cooking in! The location is v convenient for bustling Keswick town centre and easy access to lots of walks on your doorstep But the most outstanding thing about the Skiddaw Skies are the views, they really are just stunning
