About this cottage rental
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.

Great 2 bed house with enclosed front yard, 100 yards from the main street. Central location and also close to park and river greta. Great for dog walks and property easy and quick to centrally heat when needed

We were very happy with the accommodation. It's location from the centre of Keswick was perfect for my dad, who is 93, and can't walk too far. At the top end of the road and only a few mins walk, there is access to Fitz park over the Greta river which is very pretty.
The accommodation is quirky in its layout but comfortable, with great views of the hills from the living/dining room and very quiet at night.
The kitchen is fabulous and very well stocked with all the utensils etc. you need. I definitely recommend this property.

We had a lovely short break at The Ridgeway, helped by some beautiful weather. We found it an ideally positioned base for our stay, with shops, pubs, lake, buses all within an easy few minutes stroll, and more serious walks possible straight from the front door. We didn't use our car once during our 4 day stay!
The property was great too. Very well equipped and comfortable once we got used to the interesting room layout and the slightly unexpected stairs, and a fabulous view from the sitting room bay window. If we had to find something to improve it would be the mattress on the main bed, but it wasn't a problem.
Keswick Cottages were very straightforward to deal with, and in our limited contacts with them we found them helpful and friendly.
We would happily book again, and indeed hope to do so soon!

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.

We were a family of 4 adults plus a well behaved dog.
The house suited us perfectly. It is clean, smart, pleasant, comfortable beds and sofas. Enjoyed cooking in the modern kitchen. Upstairs bath/shower room is super with a 2nd bathroom downstairs. The boot/bike/dog drying/washing machine room is a great addition and helps keep everything clean and tidy. Scenic views from the lounge window. It is a minute's walk away from the centre, with all the shops, restaurants etc, yet tucked away on a quiet cul de sac with the added bonus of a reserved parking spot. A walk in opposite direction for 2 minutes, across the river foortbridge and we were in the lovely large Fitz Park, which is a brilliant park, great for walking a dog or going to the children's play area.
On our next trip to Keswick we will certainly be seeking this house out again.

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.

Lovely cottage in a fantastic location. We thoroughly enjoyed our week in Keswick and the location of the cottage and the views from the from room. The are some areas that could be improved. The heating did not always come on in the morning. Lots of signs saying not to touch it but we had to manually switch it on. The bed in the main bedroom really does need to be more luxurious. The mattress is not comfortable at all. Also the tv in bedroom is far too small. The second bedroom seemed a little dirty like it had not been cleaned. It had someone’s discarded fake eyelashes on the carpet which was a little unpleasant. (See behind bed side table)
The facilities in the cottage are excellent with all the kitchen utensils and washing machine dryer and dishwasher. Overall a lovely cottage but with a couple of small improvements in comfort would be a 5 star.

We loved our stay at The Ridgeway over Christmas. Possibly our favourite place we have stayed in Keswick…ever!
Easy to find, parking space opposite the property.
We found the property to be comfortable, cosy and well equipped.
It was always warm, comfy bed, or red etc sofas to relax on and what a great view from the lounge.
The shower was hot and powerful. The kitchen was well equipped (we cooked Christmas dinner and had everything we needed!)
Lovely welcome items plus the little essentials to make sure you could settle in without having to head straight to the shops.
The lounge was decorated for Christmas too!
Due to the awful weather all week we were inside a lot….but this never gelt a hardship as we found the property a perfect place to relax and chill out.
In short, we loved it. We were quite sad to say goodbye to it (wish we owned it!).
Highly recommended. Central enough for convenience but just far enough away from the noise of the town.
A real haven of peace in a busy place.
We can’t wait to go back to The Ridgeway
The booking process was also zero hassle. Lovely friendly team at Keswick Cottages!
All in all a perfect experience start to finish.

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

Booked really short notice to extend our week in the lakes due to the weather being good and wanting to do walks in this area. This house is great for serious walkers as so many great walks to do from your doorstep without taking car it also has a huge utility /boot room which is a must for all your wet weather gear and getting it dries for the next day.
House is in central Keswick so close to everything you need pubs, restaurants, takeaways and outdoor shops! It also has an allocated parking space which again is fantastic and required in this location.
House is big and comfortable good bed and nice linens. Was also clean and very well equipped with washing machine and separate tumble dryer again essential for winter walking!! Views from bedroom and living room windows are amazing our only small very tiny negative was the separate toilet to rest of bathroom having to go next door to wash hands. However it did benefit from downstairs shower room.
Would definitely recommend Ridgeway if staying in Keswick close to everything, homely and has a nice little outside patio to enjoy the view!

We really enjoyed our short stay in The Ridgeway. Excellent location, beautiful property, with wonderful scenic views across the fells. Highly recommend it for people wanting to visit Keswick and the surrounding area.

Lovely accommodation in town. Easy access parking slots need more definition as quite tight. Washer and drier are important in the lake district. It rained constantly on our weekend.

Ridgeway was perfect! It is spacious, very well equipped and very clean. It’s in a prime location with a lovely outside area to enjoy the sunshine that we had! Highly recommended.

Super views from main window, nice front terrace to sit out on which caught the sun, wonderfully convenient for town centre yet quiet. Slight negatives - parking space is tight (but you do get one right outside the property which is good), and kitchen is downstairs whilst living/dining room is upstairs. Main double bed has a raised plinth at the bottom which is slightly annoying for taller people who want to stretch out. Good facilities, we recommend this apartment.

My wife and I plus our daughters dog stayed midweek at the Ridgeway. First impressions were how clean and tidy the property looked. It is comfortable and very convenient for Keswick town centre and all its amenities. This our second stay at the Ridgeway and we had an equally relaxing time exploring the Lake District. We would definitely stay again.

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.

This is a good place to stay, well appointed and well located. Fish and chips at the bottom of the road. It does have an odd layout, because of the way the house has been subdivided, with the kitchen on one floor and the eating area on the next floor up.
However, there is a pointless meanness and which makes things feel uninviting. At the price you are paying, there is no economic logic to counting out the minimum number of toilet rolls to provide, the absence of cling wrap, kitchen paper towel etc etc. The excuses of Covid are not longer relevant. The difference between this type of accommodation and an Air BnB is very clear, with an almost industrial feel to the management of this property, the desire to make money. The staff are friendly and good willed but they are no doubt overworked (in the search of better returns for the owners...) and never replied to an email enquiry we sent afterwards about something we left at the property.

My son and I stayed here for a walking break. We were greatly impressed by the standard and location of this property and that it had a car parking spot. We found it extremely clean and tidy, also it had everything we would wish for. Despite the exceedingly inclement weather, we had a wonderful break, and we would certainly stay here again.

We found The Ridgeway to be comfortable , clean and well equipped.Just a short walk from the town, bus station and Derwant Water made it an ideal base to explore the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

This is the second time we have booked accommodation in Keswick through Keswick Cottages, and once again, their service has been spot on from start to finish. And The Ridgeway proved to suit us perfectly in every respect, exactly what we were looking for.
Many thanks - we'll be back.

Fab views great location central Keswick with Catbells and other walks on the doorstep. Lovely clean house. Only complaint is bins there is no bin for plastic recycling at property so you have to take to recycling center.

We stayed here with our two teenage children and dog for a week in August and couldn’t be more pleased. The house is well maintained, comfortable, clean and very well equipped - a real home away from home. It’s ideally located for trips into town and also for fell walking. The views from the property are stunning. We’ll be back

We enjoyed staying at the Ridgeway. It is perfectly located. It’s great to take which a short walk home after eating in the Thai Restaurant or The Thyme.
Great views
The accommodation was clean, comfort and amply equipped.
All in all a great stay.

Location, location, location!
Excellent location with fabulous views from sitting room. The furnishings are beginning to look a bit tired and curtains in bedroom beginning to go mouldy. Would have liked more comfortable outside furniture. Nothing however that would stop me staying again. Having booked through Keswick cottages before I feel there has been a huge hike in prices. Keswick cottages have been helpful anytime I have contacted them and would have no problem booking through them again.
