Excellent location, easily accessible to Keswick by foot or bus, but quiet. Space for 3 small cars on the drive was useful. It was very well presented and equipped, and had comfortable beds, (an important thing for our family!), only negative was the cost, as it felt a little expensive in comparison to similar sized properties in Northern Lakes, but understand it is the height of the season.

Our third stay in this lovely quiet property. With three bathrooms, an enclosed garden, and secure storage for bikes and outdoor equipment Appletree has everything we need for 5 active adults and a couple of dogs. The addition of an airfryer to the kitchen equipment was a real bonus this year.

This was our third visit for a family of seven. we have always found that Appletree offers the utmost comfort and excellent facilities (the two children love the garden space!). We find Portinscale is sufficiently off the beaten track that peace and quiet is there if required and walks are readily accessible. Our only observation was that the en-suite shower was not functioning properly (thermostat?) however, George, the handyman, who had come to cut the grass, was making adjustments. A most enjoyable week.

We've been coming to Appletree Cottage for many years as it suits our needs perfectly. For a start it's in a fantastic location for access to Keswick and the surrounding countryside. There are soo many walks straight out of the door that you could manage for a week without a car! It's always clean and tidy and well presented. The views overlooking Skiddaw from the front window and Cat Bells/Barrow Hill from the rear are stunning. Easy off road parking for 3 cars and a small enclosed garden for the dog make it ideal for us. Looking forward to coming back next year.

Our second time at Appletree. It has had an update since we were last there, lovely new kitchen. It's warm, cosy ,well furnished, comfy beds & hot showers. Well placed for a short walk into Keswick. The Farmers Arms just a short stroll is a lovely family pub.There is also The Derwent Hotel & pub a short stroll away. Our only negative is the oven & hob are quite complicated even with the instructions ,we did manage eventually to cook a full Christmas dinner. Will definitely be back.

This was the first time we stayed in this accommodation. We have for the last 10 years stayed in a complex in Keswick centre but have found it to be getting very noisy. This was a great property to stay in, very comfortable and lovely and quiet. Dogs are allowed and there is a perfect small garden to let them out. The only very slight problem was not enough bowls and measuring jugs for cooking as we eat in every night and our stay was for 10 days. Apart from the above, it is a great place to stay and have booked again for next year.

Lovely property, perfectly situated for walks and Keswick centre. Kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need if you want to cook, but if not the pub is literally at the end of the road. Would definitely book this property again.

The house was beautiful and clean. Any queries were dealt with promptly. The welcome pack was really thoughtful. The location is remote and the house is on an estate. Also it needs to be stated that there is a steep slope upto the property.

This is our second stay in Appletree , it is a well equipped and spacious house in the lovely quiet location of Portinscale but within an easy fifteen minute walk of Keswick ,we particularly liked having two shower rooms and a bathroom with seven of us sharing ,also the dog washing fascility in the garage which we made use of .We did feel this year that the house would benefit from some redecoration but overall would definitely recommend this property .

I would be very happy to recommend Appletree. Conveniently located on a quiet estate it was well equipped with everything you would need. The secure wrap around garden was a perfect space for both our dog & toddler to explore safely. A maintenance issue we had with a leak was responded to promptly with good on-going communication from Keswick Cottages. There are so many walks straight from the house, we pretty much parked up and didn’t use the cars for the full week (& we managed to comfortably park 4 cars out front). Great views, comfortable beds - we will be back.

Our 2nd visit to this property and I’m sure it won’t be our last. The house has everything you could wish for. Very secure garden for our dogs. A perfect spot for easy walking access into Keswick. The cottage has off road parking for 3 cars. I would certainly recommend for couples or large families.

Another great stay at Appletree. Lovely accommodation in a superb setting. Easy access to the surrounding hills and into Keswick. Keswick Cottages responded to an out of hours issue with the central heating boiler within 30 minutes. Can't get better service than that. Thank you and we will be back again.

A very comfortable base for our 3 couples holiday. We each had a shower / toilet so no waiting around. The kitchen was efficient with more than ample crockery and cutlery. The enclosed garden was great for the dogs. A great base for our walking adventures, many from the doorstep.

This was our third visit to Appletree. Each year we notice improvements to the property e.g the spacious frontage has been improved to allow ease of parking, the gardens front and back are always well maintained. The house is very comfortable with all amenities. The location is so peaceful after the hurly burly of Keswick. The walk into Keswick is no hardship, there is a pub (The Farmer's Arms) and also an adequate cafe (The Chalet) close by. Our son in law is always delighted that he can easily access the fells without having to use the car.

The house was absolutely perfect for our stay. We were two couples but the house would have comfortably accommodated another couple too. There was room for three cars on the drive. Everything was spotlessly clean and whatever we needed we found easily. The beds and bedding were sooo comfy. George was on hand should we have had any issues. If we were staying in the Keswick area again we would definitely stay here.

The stay got off to a bad start when although following the instructions I couldn't get the key from the safe. It turned out that I needed to twist the knob, not slide it down as instructed. The other keys were not with the welcome folder (tablet) and I needed help to find the cutlery. All the bad stuff came in the first hour, once these were resolved the holiday was a wonderful experience with our son's family. It was a nuisance only having one key to the house so I decided to try to get another from the office when I walked from the town centre to Fitz Park with the children but the office is closed. Time was moving on so I didn't bother trying the phone again. The downstairs shower / toilet was cramped, but we managed perfectly well without recourse to the larger upstairs facilities. We loved the location and the views, but are unlikely to revisit as we did a lot of walking this time but have an 80th birthday on Friday!

We have visited Portinscale on a number of occasions and have found Appletree to be the best house we have stayed in ,it is a very spacious ,comfortable and well equipped house in a quite location but just a short walk into Keswick along a footpath .On arrival the house smelled lovely and was very clean . With seven of us in our party we found the garage /utility very useful .It has an enclosed wrap around garden which was ideal for my sons dog ,we could let her out knowing she couldn’t escape.We all agreed the beds were very comfortable .We used the outside seating area quite a lot as we had some lovely weather while we were there,my only criticism would be to provide a parasol as it can become too hot to sit there without any shade .I would recommend The Farmers Arms pub which is two minutes from the property serving nice food and as outside space with lovely views , also Nicole End marina where our granddaughters loved the kayaking .We all loved Appletree and would definitely stay again .

As always Appletree never fails to deliver everything you need from a holiday home. Will be back again to enjoy the house, nearby cafe and pub. Also so many great walks from the house. Recent improvements to the house and parking have benefitted what is on offer. Five star accommodation.

A lovely week long stay with family at Appletree to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday

A lovely week long stay with family at Appletree to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday

Spent a lovely week at Appletree to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday. Excellent accommodation with lots of well thought out extras. Comfortable throughout apart from the beds which were like sleeping on concrete. Please note that this property is situated on a very quiet housing estate and not all the neighbours appear welcoming of visitors. Very little going on in Portinscale, no shop and the only pub never seemed open. Keswick is within easy reach and has plenty of amenities though. The Chalet in Portinscale is worth a visit for lovely food and drinks. Superb views front and back from the property. Really enjoyed our stay
