About this property

This charming, first-floor apartment sits in a desirable location in the heart of Keswick in the Lake District National Park. Living up to its name, The Getaway is a fabulous escape for couples seeking an adventure-filled break in this sought-after Lakeland location.

Be welcomed into the bright and airy open-plan living area; home to a large corner sofa and TV where you can curl up and enjoy a favourite TV series before bed.

The kitchen comes well-equipped with all the mod cons required for a short break, including an electric oven and hob, microwave, fridge/freezer, alongside a dining table where you can tuck into a romantic dinner for two or a takeaway after busy days.

When you’re ready to catch some sleep, retire to the double bedroom, complete with oak furnishings to rest yourself and your belongings. Kick-start your day with a wash in the shower before getting ready to explore the town.

Stepping outside The Getaway, you’ll be in the midst of the popular Keswick town with all amenities such as shops, pubs and restaurants less than half a mile away, plus some delightful countryside walks. Take time to explore the attractions in the town; visit Derwent Pencil Museum for a unique insight into WWII pencils, visit Puzzling Place for fascinating optical illusions and Keswick Adventure Centre for exhilarating outdoor activities. Take the scenic drive to Cockermouth, where you can see offbeat exhibitions at Castlegate House Gallery, tour the home of poet William Wordsworth, walk through Cockermouth's History Wall, or enjoy a delightful picnic at Harris Park. The picturesque Bassenthwaite Lake National Nature Reserve is close by, while Ullswater is home to the Aira Force Waterfall and boat tours to lakeside communities like Pooley Bridge and Glenridding. Windermere and Ambleside, two major honey-pot locations, are also close by, offering a variety of walks, gorgeous vistas, and independent cafes.

For a romantic bolthole in a bustling region of the Lake District, look no further than The Getaway.

Keswick, the northern Lake District holiday hub, has something to offer visitors at any time of year. The town has many stores and restaurants to suit all interests, as well as miniature golf, wonderful parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a quaint cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing and great mountain biking prospects. Between Braithwaite and Buttermere sits the lovely Newlands Valley, and Bassenthwaite Lake is a must-see. Everybody can enjoy a peaceful countryside stroll or a hard walk up Skiddaw or the Catbells. Alternatively, take a boat excursion around Derwentwater or see the Castlerigg Stone Circle. Great family attractions, parks, and the surrounding Lake District Wildlife Park make this a year-round Lakeland destination.

    Very comfortable and relaxing place to stay with everything you need for a comfortable break.No designated parking by apartment but managed to unload outside on arrival and park in Booth’s to load on departure. Whilst there roadworks outside but not too much of and issue. Main bus depot next door but again not excessively noisy. All round a lovely apartment to stay in. Shame about the weather so spent lots of time boosting the many pub’s economy!! Enjoyed so much we hope to return to stay again. Thank you to the owners.

    If I was being really picky the sofa probably could do with new covers and a fan for the bedroom would be a lifesaver - we were lucky to have very hot weather but Saturday nights in Keswick are surprisingly lively so noise is an issue if leaving windows open. Other to that would highly recommend.
