The apartment was clean, attractive and well equipped. It is very convenient for central Keswick, the lake and walks around the town. Despite the closeness to the town centre, it was very quiet.

We have been coming to Arcadia for many years now and it certainly is the best location in Keswick, with good car parking. We enjoyed our stay this year but considering the premium price paid, the apartment is in need of some TLC and a kitchen appliance upgrade. The issues with the sink plugholes, cooker and tumble dryer have not been resolved sincRead moree our last stay in 2021. Nothing had changed in the apartment in two years, decor or appliance wise, which was surprising! Hide
