Soak up the very best that Cumbria has to offer in this wonderful location, enjoying all of Keswick’s many tourist offerings and the outdoor adventures that lay waiting close by. Less than half a mile takes you to the town centre with its independent cinema, waterside theatre and totally unique Pencil Museum, along with plenty of places to dine and unwind. You’ll also find yourself less than 1 mile from the shores of Derwentwater where boat trips and water sports are on offer. Also close by is the Lakeland fells of Helvellyn (8 miles) and Skiddaw (5 miles) with their abundance of unforgettable walking or cycling routes all-around.

Boasting a slate exterior which is traditional to the local area, this property is certain to wow you from the inside out. Five shallow steps lead from the pavement to the shared front door with the upstairs apartment, which is also a holiday let. Step inside and discover a stylish space laid out across the ground floor. Enter into the open-plan living space with its impressive bay windows and high ceilings. Here you’ll find a lounge to one side and a kitchen on another. The bright kitchen has been fitted with a fridge, freezer, electric hob and oven, microwave, washing machine and dishwasher, along with a generous dining table for enjoying romantic meals together. A wood burner-effect electric fire is the focal point of the sitting room. Settle down in a cushy armchair or sofa to flick through the TV or delve into books left out to be enjoyed. Continue along the corridor to discover the king-size bedroom, a sumptuous space with stylish wooden furniture and plenty of storage. Completing the property is a contemporary en-suite bathroom with WC, luxurious waterfall shower and heated towel rail.

I have stayed in no less than ten different places over 37 years. All have been enjoyable, especially ones like Latrigg House, Rooms 36 and Greta Hall where my wife and I stayed over ten years! When Greta Hall was sold, we were led to eventually "find" Athena. From the first visit it felt like "home". I've stayed there twice each year for one monthRead more and would not consider staying anywhere else. I'm booked for Aug 2024 and plan to renew this booking twice during 2025! Hide

This is our 3rd stay at the apartment. The location is ideal with only a 5 minute walk into the centre of town. The apartment is warm and cosy and has everything that you would need. We had a couple of little issues, however, after a quick phone call, these were rectified within hours. Brilliant customer service.
