Perfect for a solo trip or romantic getaway, this stylish first-floor apartment makes a fantastic base for exploring lively Keswick and its stunning surroundings. The one-bed home places you within easy reach of the town’s independent shops, cafes, tea rooms and restaurants, so everything you need is right on your doorstep. It’s just 400 metres to the River Greta, where you can enjoy peaceful riverside walks or follow the 3-mile former railway trail to Threlkeld (4 miles). Head 0.5 miles in the other direction to Derwentwater for lakeside picnics or a full 10-mile circular walk, with plenty more fells and scenic spots waiting to be discovered nearby.
You’ll access this dwelling via a shared entrance and a flight of stairs, entering into a bright open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with lovely views across Keswick and glimpses of the surrounding green fells. After a day out, kick off your boots and settle in with a cup of tea – perhaps accompanied with some Grasmere gingerbread or a Lakes scone. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need for easy self-catering, with a window-side table setting you up for mealtimes with a view. The comfortable seating area and Smart TV are perfect for unwinding in the evening. When it’s time to turn in, the king-size bedroom offers a restful retreat complete with a second Smart TV. A shower room completes the space. While there’s no private outdoor area, Hope Park and Gardens (500 metres) is all ready for if you fancy a breath of fresh air. Parking is available in a nearby public car park, subject to availability.
Locally, explore the walking routes around Derwentwater, or take on one of the surrounding fells for rewarding views. Further afield, a trip to Ullswater (13.5 miles) offers another beautiful lake to explore, with the impressive Aira Force waterfall well worth a visit for its dramatic cascades and woodland setting.
