We really liked the location and the view from the living room window across the rooftops towards the hills was lovely. Generally, the furnishings and decor were very comfortable and attractive, and the general ambiance was good. However, there are a few criticisms. The lift was out of order (it looked as if it had been for a while) so the hike up three flights of stairs was hard work, especially when we arrived with our bags. We also were a bit concerned about the means of escape in case of fire. The kitchen equipment was poor, especially cooking pans etc and there were no cloths or scouring pads and no dishwasher tablets (it’s annoying to have to spend ten pounds on d/w tabs when you only need two or three).The rooflight in the bedroom was not popular as it’s right over the bed and can’t be blacked out at night (it was getting light at 4am).The internal steps were a bit annoying, especially going to the bathroom in the night and the bathroom itself was rather pokey. Overall, we enjoyed our few days there, but we probably wouldn’t consider returning.

This was certainly one of the best places we have stayed in for a long while. The accommodation is very light and airy and well furnished. I would suggest that it is ideal for an active couple but it would be challenging for anyone with mobility issues because of the steps to the property and within the property itself. However, we found the different levels added to the charm of the property and the views across the Keswick roof-tops and surrounding mountains, has to be one of the best from any Keswick accommodation. The private parking is just a short walk across the road and we found this so convenient. The central location within Keswick is perfect for the town itself and access to hills, and Keswick Parkrun is a short walk away if that is your thing. We would 100% stay here again
