Guests say
Wickhams View is a spacious and comfortable apartment in the heart of Keswick, praised for its excellent central location, quiet atmosphere, and well-equipped kitchen. Guests appreciate the easy access to local amenities, walks, and parking. The property is consistently described as clean and well-maintained, with many returning visitors. Some minor issues are noted, such as the spiral staircase, parking access, and occasional maintenance needs, but these do not detract from the overall positive experience.
The majority of guests found the apartment spotlessly clean and well-presented, with only rare mentions of minor issues such as windows needing cleaning or bedding appearing worn. Overall, cleanliness is a strong point.
The location is highly praised, being central yet quiet, with immediate access to Keswick's shops, restaurants, and walking routes. The only minor drawback is the challenging access by car through a pedestrian area.
Guests consistently mention the spaciousness, comfortable seating, and cosy atmosphere. Some note issues with the bed being too soft or creaky and pillows needing replacement, but overall comfort is rated highly.
The apartment is well-equipped with a good kitchen, bathroom, and amenities such as parking and heating. Occasional maintenance issues are mentioned (e.g., fridge shelf, shower head, lighting), but these are minor and do not significantly impact the stay.
Guests appreciated clear instructions and a helpful welcome booklet. However, some noted the absence of a welcome hamper or basic supplies like dishwasher tablets and tea, which are not guaranteed.

This was my 12th year staying here so Definitely would recommend, Nice to see it's had a Refresh including Electric fire, Pictures, Furniture. But still the same minor problems Bed sheets don't fit the mattress, and the Pillows are rubbish. Also the Light in the Bathroom is very Dim which means that you can't see yourself in the mirror to shave. It's possible to replace the current light with a identical LED one for just a few pounds and it would be 100 % Brighter and more cost affective.

A really lovely apartment, very central to Keswick with a parking space. It’s a little scary to access first time as there is some driving through a pedestrian/ access only route but well worth it. Quality of apartment finish is to a high standard, a great bed and linen, plenty of kitchen utensils and spacious living rooms and even a quality sharing library Some small niggles. Just one loo roll and there were no dishwasher tablets under the sink as described in the manual. We did find some later in a bathroom cabinet which is normally locked. Also this is not a cheap apartment and I was surprised at no welcome hamper. I was ready for a hot drink and had to wait for Mr Tesco to arrive lol. This was the first apartment we have ever stayed in which did not offer this. Would definitely stay again for a short or winter break as there is no outside space and I do like a garden to sit in when the weather is good.
