Tethera is a well-received holiday rental with guests praising its cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and stunning views. The property's location offers a tranquil setting and proximity to Keswick, though the challenging driveway is noted. The apartment is equipped with high-quality amenities, contributing to a homely and luxurious experience.
Guests consistently commend the property for its exceptional cleanliness, with several reviews highlighting the spotless condition upon arrival. The meticulous upkeep contributes positively to the overall experience.
The property boasts fabulous views and a peaceful setting, with easy access to Keswick and local attractions. However, the unsurfaced drive and distance from certain amenities slightly affect the convenience for some guests.
Reviewers find the apartment comfortable, with high-quality furniture and a cosy atmosphere. The beds and seating are particularly appreciated, although there is a suggestion for updating the lounge seating.
The apartment is well-equipped with high-spec appliances and provides a luxurious stay. However, there are mentions of a dehumidifier's noise and a desire for more natural light, indicating room for improvement in maintenance.
While guests appreciate the provision of high-quality amenities and extras like birdseed and walking books, there is no consistent mention of gifts such as tea or coffee, which are not guaranteed and thus cannot be scored.
Tethera is a fabulous, two-bedroom ground floor apartment in Fieldside Grange, a grand slate building, originally a farmhouse, which has been converted into apartments. The house stands on a hillside above Keswick with panoramic views over majestic fells. A truly idyllic location. Accessed by a private unmade driveway, it is enchantingly set in two acres of unspoiled Lakeland countryside, yet is only one and a half miles from the pretty market town of Keswick. It is ideal for a family or two couples.
Walk into the communal entrance hall where you will find your front door. Store your outdoor gear in the handy utility room and find a beautiful open concept L-shaped room, which has been lovingly arranged into kitchen, dining and living areas to create a warm and sociable living space. Walk over to admire your fully equipped kitchen with granite worktops and your delightful dining table , imaginatively placed near the patio doors, with views to Cat Bells and surrounding fells. Then, relax for a while on your comfortable suite by the attractive electric fire and imagine lovely family evenings in this cosy space. You will find two lovely bedrooms: a double bedroom with a king size bed, and a twin bedroom. Both bedrooms are spacious and have attractive beamed ceilings. Your large and beautifully presented bathroom has a bath with separate shower unit. Walk through the door at the far end of the hall and explore your extensive shared grounds. Take in the majestic scene all around you and anticipate exciting adventures in this truly beautiful part of the world.
You will find a welcoming pub just a half mile away from your doorstep. Marvel at the site of the ospreys from the outdoor viewpoints at Dodd Wood. where high powered telescopes and binoculars are provided. Keswick offers, specialist shops, excellent restaurants, cafes and pubs, market days twice a week, a renowned theatre, well-loved cinema and much more. Walk from the centre of Keswick, through Hope Park to the shore of beautiful Derwentwater, have a bite to eat at the Theatre by the Lake’s popular café, then enjoy a scenic cruise.
The popular town of Keswick is the holiday centre of the North of the Lake District and has plenty to offer the visitor at any time of year. The town boasts numerous shops and restaurants to suit all tastes, as well as offering miniature golf, excellent parks, the famous Theatre by the Lake, a charming cinema, the Pencil Museum, a climbing wall, fishing and great mountain biking opportunities, whilst the beautiful lake of Derwentwater at the head of the stunning Borrowdale Valley is only a few minutes walk from the town centre.

It had great views and all the comforts you need,it was a home away from home. It is a great location for many walks and I would highly recommend this apartment for a great stay in the lakes.

There was scaffold around the property which affected the look , but didnât particularly affect our stay. However we were very rudely awoken one morning with loud music and workmen walking across our breakfast terrace taking the scaffolding down. This was very disturbing and I felt considering the high cost and ecxpectations of the holiday I should have been informed at the point of booking, or offered alternative accommodation, so that I could have made an informed choice about booking this property. For these reasons I would not book Sykesâs cottages again and would not recommend to friends and family.
