With so much to see and do close by, including handfuls of fells to climb, leisurely cruises on Derwentwater and attractions for rainy days, this bolthole is perfectly located for a getaway in the Lake District National Park.
This welcoming apartment is in the pretty market town of Keswick. It’s a fabulous holiday home for keen walkers; pull on your hiking boots and head for Skiddaw and Blencathra (both within 10 miles) or enjoy a leisurely stroll around the shores of Derwentwater (0.5 miles). The apartment sleeps three guests, making it the perfect romantic bolthole or base for a small family. Set on the third floor, the apartment has far-reaching views of the surrounding fells, inspiring you to get outdoors and explore.
Climb the stairs and enter the bright and airy holiday home. Decorated in neutral tones with subtle lighting, the property has a feeling of calm and tranquillity. Get cosy on the comfortable sofa in the lounge/diner, to watch the Smart TV or play a game on the PlayStation. Alternatively, sit back after a long walk and admire the stunning views from the window. When it’s time to say goodnight, retire to the relaxing king-size bedroom which looks out over the surrounding fells or the cosy single bedroom. There is no outdoor space at this property, however, Hope Park is just 100 metres away and is a lovely spot to enjoy a pre-breakfast stroll amongst the flowers.
After pottering around the vibrant town centre, wander down to Derwentwater. Here, you can join the 10-mile circular route that circumnavigates the lake or board the Keswick Launch to majestically glide across the water. Hop on and off at the various jetties, to explore the lakeside villages or share a picnic on one of the pebble beaches. For jaw-dropping views, head to Latrigg Fell (2 miles). Located high above the northern edge of the town, you’ll be able to look out across the whole of the Vale of Derwent towards some of the Lake District’s most iconic landmarks.
