  100% would stay here again and 100% would recommend staying here to others.

  We enjoyed our October stay in Howe Keld 1. It is a lovely home away from home. We loved the location being so close to the lake and the town centre too. The flat is comfortable, well-decorated and well-appointed. We’ve stayed in many self-catering flats/ holiday homes and this was one of the very best. Some of the nice little details and touches we appreciated: We arrived late in the evening and the keyless entry made it very easy to get in without bothering anyone to meet us with a key. Angela, the on-site manager was welcoming and helpful. We could WhatsApp her if we needed anything. We had a parking space in the back- and it is nice that there is an entrance to the building in the back and front of the building. The communal drying room was perfect for our wet gear after long hikes. The laundry room was convenient and the flat has a clothes drying rack. The entryway into the flat has a bench and three hooks for coats plus a nook to store shoes. We appreciated that there was a lovely electric fireplace to enjoy. We had all the user manuals to hand to help us work out the fireplace, oven, etc. The flat included some games such as Scrabble, Monopoly and two decks of cards too. Lots of guidebooks in the flat plus a lending library downstairs. We had some milk, plum bread and jam in the flat on arrival- perfect for the next morning before we had a chance to get to the store or go to the Keswick Saturday market. There was toilet paper for the start of the stay, and hand soaps too. The kitchen had everything we needed in terms of dishes and cutlery- including aluminium foil, tea towels, a hot pad for the oven, knives, washing up liquid, dishwasher tablets, hand soap, bread box, butter holder, etc. and the flat includes an iron and iron board The bathroom has a large tub- perfect for soaking in after a long day of hiking. The shower pressure was excellent. A hairdryer is provided as well. Hangers in the closet were also appreciated. The super kingsize bed was comfortable. We appreciate that linens and towels are provided. All in all- it is a lovely flat and an excellent home away from home for a perfect holiday in the Lakes.

  Lovely cottage.

  The bedrooms were well furnished and the beds were all comfortable. The kitchen had everything needed. The lounge was lovely. The windows in the lounge and main bedroom were very difficult to open and had to be wedged to stay open. For an older couple this would be very difficult to do. The property was very warm almost stuffy so having a fan provided was very welcome. The parking whilst tight wasn’t too much of a problem. It would be useful if the spaces were fully marked out and painted on the ground. The difficulty of trying to speak to someone about a matter after our trip was a little worrying. I don’t feel confident if we had run into a major issue like missing keys or something during our trip we would have been able to get hold of anyone in good time. The number given was a landline and mostly automated. It kept repeating I should go online to resolve any problems we had. I had to leave a message and wait for someone to call me back. This wasn’t an issue this time, as our holiday had finished but imagine urgently needed assistance and there is no one available. To be honest that lack of support available would stop me booking again.

  We have just returned home from a lovely week in Keswick at Howe Keld Apartment One.

  What a wonderful asset you have in the resident manager - Angela. She is warm, friendly and so helpful without being intrusive. Thankyou Angela. The location of the apartment is great, an easy walk to the town centre and to the Lake through Hope gardens. The apartment itself is so stylish, with lovely art work on all the walls. It is really well equipped. The bed is huge and super comfortable. We are an elderly couple and I have some mobility issues and would have appreciated a grab rail in the shower! The living area was so cosy with the lovely fireplace and we watched some good films on Netflix. There were so many Cafes and Pubs to chose from in Keswick and so handy to have Booths within walking distance of the apartment. Unfortunately the only problem was the tight parking space which is really only suitable for a small car. Thank goodness we didn't need to use the car as our needs were fulfilled with the apartment being in such a great location. We really hope that we will be able to make a return visit. A great find. Thankyou.

  Hello, we have just spent a lovely week in Howe Keld apartment 1.

  This is a very comfortable apartment. Everything we needed when we arrived was waiting for us: milk in the fridge, teas and coffees, plumbread, all to refresh the weary travellers! All other necessary items like soap for the kitchen, tea towels and toilet rolls, everything we needed was provided, we had no need to shop as soon as we arrived. This is a very modern beautifully appointed apartment. As a disabled person I missed my bathroom stool also the grab-rail in my shower, but I managed ok! Being in the centre of the town was so useful, we enjoyed the shops and the cafes where gluten free food was freely available and appreciated! Angela the house manager was very friendly and helpful and was available for any queries or problems. [Note to owner: we spoke to Angela who explained the lack of knowledge regarding the owner of the adjacent land. Have you approached the Land Registry at your local Land Registry Office. They can search for you as all land is owned by someone! There will be a fee, but it might answer your problem.]
