Property code: SZ444

A homely holiday apartment for four, set across two storeys of accommodation, close to the centre of popular Keswick, magnificent Derwentwater and superb walking routes.

Soak up the spectacular Lake District scenery from this inviting apartment in the market town of Keswick. Up to four guests are welcome at the two-bedroom property, which is ideal for anyone seeking a balance of town and countryside. Find shops, restaurants and pubs within 100 metres; stroll 500 metres to reach the shores of Derwentwater, around which you can attempt the 10-mile circuit. Soak up the scenery from the water on a cruise if you choose or hire a boat to enjoy it at your own speed. Take a 2-mile trip out of town to see the famous Castlerigg Stone Circle or drive 4.5 miles to Whinlatter Forest Park, with its walks and cycle rides, and high rope course.

Climb the external steps from the parking area up to the veranda and open the door into the apartment to find yourself in the hall. From here amble into the light-filled lounge/diner, which looks over the town and towards the mountains. Make yourselves at home on the sofa in here; choose a book or game or switch on the TV with Freeview or watch a DVD perhaps. Listen to some music on the stereo beside the wood burner-effect electric fire before heading through the kitchen to make dinner or a cup of tea and slice of cake from the welcome pack. There is an electric fan oven and hob, microwave, fridge with freezer section, toaster and dishwasher. Serve up at the table next door. Follow the staircase up to the next level to your bedrooms, both of which have magnificent views and low sloping ceilings. One of the bedrooms is a double, while the other has twin zip-and-link beds that can be arranged as a king-size bed, please just at the time of booking. The family bathroom has a walk in shower and WC is also on the top floor.

The apartment comes with allocated parking for one vehicle.

Loved Slate Knoll! The accommodation was a decent size for our family of 4. Lovely and well presented. Everything you need is there. Great location! some days the car never moved. Such a lovely touch to get in and there be a pint of milk ready for us gasping for a cuppa and a lovely lemon drizzle cake. We will be using Slate Knoll again. Thank You

A really lovely place to stay - clean, comfortable and so convenient, both for Keswick itself and for travel by bus to other areas of the northern Lake District. Bus station (and supermarket) just up the street. Will definitely return.

Great location right in the town with parking. Super clean and very comfortable sofas and beds. Very powerful shower but need to use water booster switch when 4 people are using shower.

We had a great week here! The apartment is very clean and comfortable with all equipment in the property that you need. Delicious lemon cake much appreciated! The location is ideal for exploring Keswick and the surrounding areas. We didn't realise Keswick is such a vibrant town and we made use of pubs, restaurants and cafs on our doorstep. Wouldn'tRead more hesitate to stay here again. Hide

Comfy home, in excellent location for town and lake, with the added benefit of parking for 1 car. Always a warm welcome from a helpful owner. Hope it won't be too long before we're back.
