  • A first-floor apartment with views over Fitz Park and the River Greta towards Latrigg
  • Once a pencil mill, this home is steeped in interesting history and sits less than half a mile from the heart of bustling Keswick
  • Wander down to the edge of Derwentwater and hire canoes or enjoy a cruise across the water
Property code: SZ027

A perfect hideaway for couples or small families, this apartment is set in a peaceful, town-centre location surrounded by beautiful scenery, with amenities and outdoor activities on its doorstep.

Go for a leisurely stroll in Fitz Park, just across the river, which has tennis courts, bowling greens, putting and a swimming pool – great if entertaining little ones. For a wild swim or a boat trip, walk 1 mile to Derwentwater, where you can book a cruise or head out on your own lake trip. If exploring on two wheels is more your thing, hire bikes in Keswick and ride the Keswick to Threlkeld Trail, visit Whinlatter Forest (5 miles) or hop on the Skiddaw Loop, which begins in the market square. For food and drink, The Back Bar is just over the road, and the Keswick Brewing Company is a hundred metres away - so stumbling home after sampling the ales won’t be a problem! If rain interrupts your day, take a trip to the movies, or watch a show at the Theatre by the Lake, located 0.7 miles from the apartment.

Access to the apartment is up a set of external concrete steps, which are wide and have a handrail so it's easy to carry luggage up the stairs. Upon entering, you can hang coats on the rail and leave shoes on the rack before heading further inside the apartment to get cosy. With comfortable sofas and a coal-effect electric fire, the lounge is a great place to curl up and indulge in a good book from the shelf, or switch on the TV and watch your favourite programme. When it’s time for dinner, make your way into the kitchen through the sliding door. Though compact, you’ll find all you need to rustle up a meal before heading back through to the drop-leaf dining table, which sits in the lounge. Three chairs can be found here whilst the remaining chair is in the double bedroom. After a tasty dinner and a tipple or two, rest your head in one of two tranquil bedrooms. Both the double and the twin are lovely spaces in which to drift off, and the twin boasts views of the River Greta and up to Lattrig. Rise and shine and freshen up in the family bathroom with WC where you can soak in the tub or rinse off in the shower over the bath.

If you fancy an al fresco drink or some fresh air without leaving the comfort of your home, step out to the balcony where you can watch the world go by. There is a private parking area.

Perfect location (quiet but close to the centre). Comfortable, clean and well equipped - kitchen a bit tight but loved having everything at my finger tips. Thanks - an excellent break.

The flat is in a terrific location, very central yet very quiet. The level of comfort was good, spotless in terms of cleanliness and the kitchen very well stocked with all that is required for self catering. One thing to bear in mind is that, whilst near ideal for 2 guests, it could feel rather cramped for more than 2.

A great base for the convention and exploring Keswick and the Lakes. Small living space with lovely river view, but everything we needed. Comfy beds. Even a little balcony to sit outside when the sun came out!

Perfect location. The apartment was ideal for two people, very comfortable but would have been a bit cramped for four. Extremely well stocked kitchen everything you needed. Had a problem with the fire and heating but very quick response from the agents and owner. Wouldn't hesitate to stay again and hope to book again for next year.

We found excellent use had been made of the limited space available. The cottage was well equipped and the view stunning. Also it was very quiet in spite of it's proximity to the centre of Keswick. A dehumidifier was situated just under the coat rack - a brilliant idea in Keswick! The only issue was that "over the bath" drying facilities were less Read morethan adequate for drying a lot of walking clothes. Also the parking could be an issue at busy times. We had lots of sun but thick walls kept it cool. Hide

Good location in town. Lovely views from lounge window. Kitchen very small. Dinning room table for 4 would fill the lounge area. If wet limited space to dry clothing. More suitable for couples than family. Car parking might be difficult in peak periods. Good value for money would stay again.

Lovely flat, extremely close to town centre and supermarkets. Great base for walking the mountains around Keswick. Well equipped. Was quite compact for 4. Good sized fold-away table, but took up most of the lounge when opened, although this was not a problem and we stayed with two teenagers and really enjoyed our stay. Great views from the windows,Read more backing onto the river and just across the footbridge from Fitz Park. Hide
