This bright, modern, first-floor apartment is in the heart of Keswick, perfect for a couple looking for a comfortable, stylish base from which to launch into the Lake District. One of seven apartments in a characterful Victorian Lakeland slate building dating from 1860, it is set in a quiet side street just a 100-metre stroll from the bustling centre of Keswick, with its pubs, restaurants, shops, Art-Deco cinema, theatre and attractions. Parking can sometimes be a headache in Keswick, but with this apartment you have the advantage of a private parking permit, so your lovely day in the Lakes won’t be marred by hunting for a parking space.

Keswick is a jewel in the northern Lake District's crown, located on the shore of beautiful Derwentwater. It's a vibrant market town with a wonderful atmosphere where you can indulge your wild side with any number of adventurous outdoor activities or pamper your taste buds with a huge range of eateries offering great local food and Cumbrian real ales. The walking and cycling on offer here is second to none, with paths and tracks for gentle, picturesque strolls or Lake District giants such as Skiddaw to climb if you're feeling more energetic.

Ancient and mysterious, Castlerigg Stone Circle is just over a mile up the hill from Keswick. Dating from around 3,000 BC, it is one of the most stunningly situated stone circles you will find, with breathtaking views in all directions. Magnificent Derwentwater is just a 10-minute walk away from the apartment, where you can hire a rowing boat, take a launch around the lake or simply lose yourself in the scenery.

Comfortable and cosy, this apartment offers a well-appointed and welcoming base to enjoy all the sights and activities the area has to offer. There are seven apartments in total in the building. Booked together, they can sleep up to 18 guests and two dogs.
