About this cottage rental

Skiddaw Skies is situated in a quiet no through road in the heart of Keswick, an ideal location for easy access to local amenities, Fitz Park and the beautiful Lake Derwentwater, yet tucked away from any passing traffic or passers-by. This beautiful apartment is the upper floors of a lovely Victorian property, accessed by a flight of steps, and its elevated position provides fabulous panoramic views across the fells from all windows.

The lounge is spacious, light and comfortable, with two settees, dining table and chairs, internet enabled Smart TV with integrated DVD, CD player and large windows looking across Keswick towards Catbells and the north western fells. This room has an open fire for cosy winter evenings and books and maps on the local area are provided.

The modern fitted kitchen is situated next to the lounge and is well equipped with an electric oven, gas hob, dishwasher, washer/dryer, fridge, freezer, microwave and a breakfast bar with great Latrigg views.

The luxurious main bathroom is fitted to a high standard, with a large shower, roll-top bath, wash basin and WC.

On the middle floor, there are two adjacent bedrooms. The large double bedroom has oak furniture providing plenty of storage space, a flat-screen TV and a super-king sized bed from which the fantastic fell views can be admired. This room has an ensuite bathroom with a shower, wash basin and WC.

The second bedroom has twin beds, oak furniture and views towards Skiddaw.

The top loft floor of Skiddaw Skies has been recently converted to a third bedroom with twin beds, oak furniture and ensuite WC with basin. The two large velux windows on either side of this room provide amazing views of both Skiddaw and the north western fells. All bedrooms are dressed in luxury linens and towels.

There is a superb roof terrace with furniture which is the perfect place to sit and take in the wonderful scenery over a sunny breakfast or on summer evenings. A private parking space for one car is allocated just opposite the property.

Skiddaw Skies is suitable for bookings with one small dog.

Please note the property has a number of flights of stairs so may not be suitable for guests with mobility issues.

Reduced occupancy may be available for this property if only one or two bedrooms are required. Please contact the office to enquire.

Skiddaw Skies has a great location being within very close walking distance of shops, restaurants, the food coop, and even hiking trails. We were able to walk to several of the trails right from the front door. The rooms are cozy (but not small), and the lounge is full of books, games and DVD's for all ages. The kitchen is modern and stylish.

We had a fantastic sunny week at Skiddaw Skies. The terrace gave almost 360 degree views of the surrounding fells and was a wonderful place to eat and drink al fresco at all times of the day. Furthermore, the views from nearly every window were stunning. The set up of two twin bed rooms was a real plus and meant our children could each bring a friend with them on holiday. It was really well equipped, and the tea, coffee and biscuits welcome pack was a lovely touch. Cleaning equipment and products were also available which is good. The bright raspberry pink living room walls were a real statement! Wall to wall carpets on the stairs may have presented a vacuuming challenge due to the dog hair, but I highly recommend this property.

Skiddaw Skies is a large and comfortable property situated in an ideal position for access to the town while giving spectacular views of the fells around Keswick. Our stay was perfect, communications were good and the accommodation was actually better than the online images. Close to town but quiet and very comfortable. Nicely updated to include a lovely main bathroom, a modern kitchen and bedrooms thoughtfully equipped with nice bedding and pillows you can actually sleep on. En suite to the two rooms we used, again well appointed, although if you're taller than average you may need to watch your head in them. There's a handy decked balcony with table and chairs to the rear, a little slippy give the time of year and decking but not dangerously so and a large selection of games and DVDs for those Lakes days that test your outdoor gear. There are a lot of steps if you have mobility issues, but we didn't find that a problem. This is a great place to stay and could easily have been spacious enough for more than our small group.

Excellent property in great location. We knew about the steps and stairs and negotiated them carefully. Well equipped and warm.

This apartment is in a very convenient place for the centre of Keswick. We found it clean, comfortable and well equipped. I don't have many criticisms, however, there is only one parking space which was made difficult to access by cars parking on the pavement opposite. There are a lot of stairs in the property - I counted 66 from street level to the top bedroom. The doors have closures on them because they are fire doors and these can be a bit fierce - one shut on our 6-year-old granddaughter's finger! We had some problems with opening the main bathroom door. While the welcome packages in the kitchen were very generous and useful, there was only one spare toilet roll which was not kept in the bathroom but in the cleaning cupboard.

I have just enjoyed a weekend stay at this property with my brother and parents. It's very spacious and more than enough room for 4 adults and a dog. The location is ideal, just a very short walk from the main street. There are a lot of stairs but this was not a problem for us.

This is our 3rd stay in Skiddaw Skies and we love it more each time. The weather wasn't ideal (unusually high winds all week making it difficult to walk or even stand up above 1,000 ft on most days), but after mornings out spending the afternoons looking out at the ever changing weather made up for this. The cottage is cosy, the location great to pop out to the supermarket and having the parking space just outside brilliant. It is on the pricy side compared to other places (particularly when there are only 2 of you), but the benefits you get make it worth every penny.

If I was mean, I’d try to put you off so we can book Skiddaw Skies anytime we like! We’ve been several times before and we love it. The views are spectacular and the accommodation is comfortable. Lots of steps to keep you fit, but great location for enjoying Keswick and surrounding areas. This time, we didn’t move the car once we had parked it in its off road designated spot. Superb!

The location and views were outstanding. The property was maintained and cleaned to a high standard. We very much enjoyed the decor, ambiance and beautiful paintings and photographs throughout the property. We were extremely comfortable throughout our stay. There are 6 levels: the ground level entrance hall, family bathroom, kitchen and living room, roof terrace, two bedrooms and the top small bedroom with spectacular views. Each level separated by a small flight of stairs. The kitchen was well stocked with equipment and the living room had many quality books and games for all ages. The roof terrace was excellent for breakfast, and drinks and relaxation day and evening. The property provided us with a unique and very enjoyable holiday experience

What a stunning property in a fantastic location. The property is very well equipped with everything you could possibly need for a week or so away. The balcony at the rear is a massive bonus and we used it a lot, both in the morning and evening, with views across Latrigg and Skiddaw. In fact there are views from the front across to Catbells due to its elevated position. The only point you need to be aware of is the steps, there are a number of stairs to and in the property but as long as you are able this shouldn’t be a problem and the quality of the property far outweighs this. We have already booked again for next year!

Excellent customer service. The location is fantastic, easy access to the town but quiet in the evening. The views from the apartment are stunning but you have all the amenities within easy reach. I am very happy to recommend Skiddaw Skies.

Great property for location and views. Very clean and comfortable but would have liked to have known how the accommodation was arranged over split floors and stairs between. Good kitchen with almost everything you would need to self cater. Have suggested they include sundries such as kitchen towel, foil and cling film. Basic welcome pack was very basic.
