our stay at Appletree
We have been coming to Keswick for about 15 years and have stayed at many different properties. Last year we decided to try Appletree as it was going to be quieter than the centre of Keswick. The location is great for going on walks near the lake. The property is well maintained and very comfortable and feels at home as soon as we arrive. This is our second visit to the property and have already booked for next year.

Thank you for your fabulous review! We are so glad that you enjoyed your second visit to Appletree and are thrilled to hear that you have already re-booked for next year. We are looking forward to hosting you again in 2025 :-) Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Appletree has everything you could ask for and more. Decorated to a high standard. We have stayed in this property before, a number of years ago, so knew how lovely it was. Ideal base for us as we love Keswick and the 1 mile walk in is great, although not puddle free this year being able to leave car at house. Great addition for us was the dart board in the garage as entertained our boys (17 & 23)! Who still like to holiday with us occasionally.

Thank you for your fabulous review! We are thrilled that you another great stay at Appletree and are glad to hear that the boys were kept entertained! The walk into Keswick is so lovely and hopefully you did have some good weather during your stay to enjoy it. We look forward to hosting you again for your next Lakeland break. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages

Expensive, but far the most we have ever paid for a holiday cottage. But we booked just one day before August bank holiday, excellent location, so not unhappy. Very high standard everywhere, well-equipped kitchen,. We appreciated the children's games which our Chinese 11 year old enjoyed playing with both families. Room configuration with one downstairs double bedroom works well for a variety of family/guest types. We hope to return to this cottage with our family

Been several times over recent years and seen improvements on each occasion. Nicely decorated with a well equipped kitchen. Three bathrooms ensures everyone gets out on the fells in record time, making the most of our precious days in the beautiful Lakes. Lovely dog proof garden, decent off-street parking and a warm cozy, well insulated abode for when the Lakeland nights have a chill in the air. The property is perfectly situated away from the hustle and bustle of Keswick, yet only a short walk away (20 mins) along a dedicated footpath between the town and the village of Portinscale. Similarly you’ll find a walk in almost every direction from the property, whether it’s lowland by the side of the lake or along the dismantled railway, to high elevations like Skiddaw and Helvellyn etc. The car hardly moves all week as there’s so many fantastic trails and walks from the front door. We’re definitely coming back to stay at Appletree.

In April we had a lovely stay at Appletree. What a wonderful cottage. The house is in great condition, it has been very nicely modernised with excellent bathrooms and kitchen. Unfortunately the weather was not great so we couldn’t make use of the pretty garden. Plenty of space for 6. Pub around the corner. What more could you ask? Thoroughly recommend.
