Description

The front door is found on the 1st floor of the shared hallway and leads to the entrance hall of the property, from where you can access the bedrooms, main bathroom and separate foyer.

The elegant master bedroom, located at the front of the property, is furnished with a king-sized bed, wardrobe, chest of drawers and bedside tables with individual lamps. The room features beautiful high ceilings, a shaker panelled feature wall and arched, sash windows with blackout curtains – which will ensure a great night’s sleep even in the Summer months! The room provides plenty of space to accommodate a cot if needed, and also boasts a 32inch smart TV with access to streaming services.

Across the hallway to the rear of the property, you will find the twin bedroom, sleeping 2 people in 2 single beds. A wardrobe, bedside table and lamp, full length mirror and blackout curtains are also provided and both bedrooms are finished with luxury bed linen and towels.

Between the two bedrooms you will find the modern family bathroom, decorated with stylish white metro tiles and teal parquet tiled flooring. There is a bath with both waterfall and hand-held shower fixtures overhead, large hand basin with underneath storage, WC and heated towel rail. A shaver socket is also fitted in this bathroom.

A door on the adjacent wall leads to the spacious central foyer, which has plenty of space to hang coats and store boots, bags, or even a pram. From here you can head up the stairs to the open plan living and dining area on the 2nd floor, which is decorated in the same country cottage style as the bedrooms.

The living room is furnished with a 2-seater and 3-seater sofa, as well as a stylish foot stool for weary walkers to rest their feet on. No need to worry about evening entertainment at The Tops – you can enjoy a good movie or on demand streaming services on the 44inch smart TV, listen to the radio whilst reading a book, or gather round the coffee table and play some board games, of which you will find many! The compact dining table and benches are positioned at the rear of the room, on the right-hand side of the staircase, and enjoys views towards Walla Crag.

From the living area, you will enter the 2nd floor passageway to access the kitchen and separate WC. There is also a second doorway to the communal hallway.

The kitchen has been recently fitted and is equipped with a Delonghi cooker with double oven, grill and gas hob, integrated full sized fridge and freezer, washer/drier, dishwasher, microwave and toaster.

Reviews

A great central stay
The Tops was easy accommodation to locate on arrival and the allocated parking space was a bonus especially as it's a standalone space with no one parked either side (great for tetchy car owners like me!) Great central location with everything on your doorstep. The flat has been decorated, furnished and equipped to a high standard with lovely furnishings and fittings. The beds are firm (memory foam) which we found fine. Big slouchy sofa in the living room plus one more ‘sit up' sofa which was fine for us. The shower was bliss! Well equipped kitchen with everything we needed. Little extras like hand soap, oils, salt and pepper were useful. The views from the flat are lovely too. We really enjoyed our stay and ended up spending a lot of time in the flat. We did turn the central heating off and the radiators down as it was so warm. The owner could definitely save some money by installing a thermostat! The only downside, which may be more of a summer issue, is the noise on an evening, sadly. People sat outside the bar below were noisy at the front and the staff from the bar were noisy at the back (the back bedroom is just above a door for the bar). This did interrupt our sleep on a couple of nights but kind of expected. Keswick Cottages, as always, we're super helpful helping us book. Despite the noise, we'd definitely go back as we felt the flat had a lovely relaxing feel to it and we loved being central to the town.
Single beds very uncomfortable no chairs anywhere settees in lounge very uncomfortable. not suitabl
Lovely views and well equipped kitchen. Dining area poor single beds suitable only for children no lounging furniture or chairs in any rooms

Very comfortable flat in excellent location
This is a really nicely furnished flat recently decorated and in great condition. It is in a brilliant location, close to all the amenities that Keswick has to offer. Highly recommended.

Thank you so much for your review and recommendation! We are so pleased you liked the décor and furnishings, the owner has put a lot of thought into these details so the guests have a warm and comfortable welcome. Being located in central Keswick means you can leave the car behind and wander around the town. We hope you had a wonderful time and hope to welcome you again! 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!
