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.

Great home, lots of character. All the facilities you need. Nice and clean. Good beds. Great views. 2 minute walk to centre but quiet location. 2 minute walk to park and river. Loved our stay.

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.
