The Ridgeway - an apartment that sleeps 4 guests in 2 bedrooms

The Ridgeway is a beautiful Victorian property, with many personal touches to create a 'home from home' feel and ideal for those wishing to be close to all local amenities but just out of the way of traffic and crowds.

The fully enclosed south facing patio has wonderful views to the fells for perfect al fresco dining. Private parking is allocated opposite for one car.

The large, bright lounge with high ceilings on the first floor has a fabulous bay window looking out over Keswick to Catbells and the fells beyond. There are two large sofas and an open fire for cosy winter nights, with dining table in the picture postcard bay window. There is a Smart TV, DVD and games console with blue-tooth DAB Radio / CD player and plenty of Lakeland guides.

The twin bedroom with new oak furniture (chest of drawers and wardrobe) and DAB radio is also on the first floor with lovely views towards Latrigg. This room can be converted to a King-size bed upon request.

The first floor bathroom is fully tiled and has a double ended bath, separate shower cubicle, towel rail and wash hand basin. There is a separate WC on this floor.

On the ground floor there is a bright double bedroom with a leather sofa positioned in the bay window overlooking the patio/garden. There is a double bed, with plenty of storage, a flat screen TV/DVD, dressing table and lovely high ceilings. Both bedrooms are dressed with luxury linens and fresh white fluffy towels.

The very modern kitchen is also on the ground floor with newly fitted units, granite worktops, built in electric oven and gas hob, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, freezer, washer/dryer and breakfast bar, with well stocked cupboards with everything you would need on a self-catering holiday.

There is a sizeable utility room at the back of the apartment for walking gear and bikes, providing rear access to the street.

Home from home

The Ridgeway is one of our favourite places to stay in Keswick. Tastefully furnished, well equipped and in a great location with stunning views. We had an issue with the heating and Julia, the owner, sorted it very quickly.

A very Pleasant Stay

This apartment is very well equipped and comfortable. The only thing is, you can hear the noise from the neighbour upstairs. It is an old floorboard; you can hear every step they take. It was an original whole house converted (we think) into 2 separate apartments.

Comfortable accommodation

The Accommodation we booked through Keswick Cottages, is a lovely place to rest and recuperate after a days walking. The beds are very comfortable and afforded a great nights sleep. The apartment is centrally located in Keswick and good for all the amenities the town has to offer. We enjoy staying here having stayed here on two previous occasions.

Perfect Location for Lake District exploring

Traveled to the Lake District for the first time from the US so did not know much abut the area before but luckily found this accommodation in the perfect location. The layout with one bedroom on the ground floor was bit unusual but it did allow for privacy and quiet between the 2 bedrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed and the 2 bathrooms were clean with plenty of hot water to warm up after a chilly day. The house did take a while to heat up so take that in mind.

Great spot

The Ridgeway is in a great location, lots of walks from the door and perfect for town. The accommodation was very well equipped on particular the kitchen. There is everything you need for preparing and cooking meals. We found the beds to be extremely comfortable, the best we have come across in a long time. It was also nice to have a bathroom on each floor. It was lovely to have somewhere to sit out, as the weather was so nice.

A living room with a view

The house is very comfortable and spacious. It is well-equipped and the dog welcome pack was a lovely touch. The view from the living room was stunning as we could see the hills as we were eating breakfast. It was really good to have 2 toilets, although the downstairs one was a bit chilly as it didn't have a radiator, but there was a fan heater. Otherwise we had a lovely break in a great location.

Lovely place

Great place. Comfy, spacious, great location, clean and everything you need for a stay away. Only negative was that the property above it had very noisy floorboards, so we were woken up at 6am most mornings.

A great base

Three of us plus a dog stayed there . The Ridgeway was very clean & comfortable. The kitchen was really well equipped. It is an excellent base for staying in the Lakes & has its own dedicated car space which is a bonus in Keswick . Wonderful views over to the hills from the dining room . Would definitely stay there again easy access to the town & shops . We were also lucky to have brilliant weather .

Great location, easy walk into town & nearby park. Great views from the lounge. We found the side access straight into the utility room particularly useful for bringing a very muddy dog indoors. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay thank you.

Keswick weekend break

Great location, well equipped kitchen, & comfortable place to stay, & having our dog with us with Fitz park just around the corner was a bonus, & also the property had a back door entrance into a large utility room which was great for drying off & cleaning up the dog before entering the carpeted areas,private parking space for one vehicle right across from the property

The perfect base for family or friends

Great quiet location just off the Main Street. Couldn’t ask for anything else for a base while visiting the town. Kitchen was extremely well stock with equipment and there’s plenty room. Ideal for a family or even two couples as two separate bathrooms. Would highly recommend and will certainly book again

Easter in Ridgeway

Had a great 4 night stay in Ridgeway with the pup; great location, ideal access into the town centre. Ideal facilities for those with a dog, the back door to the property gives access directly to a spacious boot room, perfect for bringing in wet dogs. Will definitely rebook this property.

Just the ticket

We really enjoyed our stay. The apartment was comfortable and clean, with lovely views from the lounge window. Good to have lots of books and games provided. And we made use of the front patio on a few occasions. The parking space is a bonus. We thought it was in an excellent location in the town, a quiet no through round but the benefit of being staggering distance to all the pubs, restaurants and shops. We would definitely book again!
